Timber-preservation creosotes are mainly blends of wash oil, strained anthracene oil, and heavy oil having minor amounts of oils boiling in the 200—250°C range. Coal-tar creosote is also a feedstock for carbon black manufacture (see Carbon, carbon black). Almost any blend of tar oils is suitable for this purpose, but the heavier oils are preferred. Other smaller markets for creosote were for fluxing coal tar, pitch, and bitumen in the manufacture of road binders and for the production of horticultural winter wash oils and disinfectant emulsions. 

Preparation of a site for field residue testing should follow the same procedures as for standard agricultural production for the crop in question. If a pesticide is intended to introduce new agronomic or horticultural practices, then these practices should be... 

Litter peat is the surface peat removed from the bog before cutting of fuel peat. As fuel peat production increases, so the amount surface peat removed also grows. Around 1 million m3 of surface peat is lifted every year in Finland, and the figure is expected to rise to 2-3 million m3 a year by the 1990 (1). Surface peat is used mainly for horticultural purposes.

The production of horticultural crops is based upon programs which manipulate virtually every part of the plant s environment. It is not uncommon for the grower to deliberately modify the quahty and quantity of fight, daily and seasonal temperatures, quality of the air, type and fertility of the support media, moisture content of the soil and air, and... 

There is little doubt that the brassinosteroids can have a major effect on world grain markets and on the increased production of horticultural crops utilizing the same land area. This means reduced energy costs and that, coupled to the apparently environmentally safe aspects of these compounds, makes them ideal candidates for industrial development. But a number of critical problems remain and it seems that there will be limited fundamental examination with the brassinosteroids unless they are used practically. Frankly stated, funds generated from the sales of marketable brassinosteroids will drive all the other studies. While this is a critical time in the development of the brassinosteroids, their future promises to be interesting politically, scientifically, and practically. To quote an old aphorism, to the victor will go the laurels.

The new additive masterbatches are products that are free of nickel quenchers, improving the stability of polyethylene films and developed specifically for horticultural films likely fo be contaminated by pesticides. They will provide protection for up to four years, even in high-radiation areas such as the Mediterranean. 

The first observations to suggest that some quaternary ammonium compounds, such as benzalkonium chloride, stearalkonium chloride, and cetylpyridine chloride, have antimicrobial activity were made in as early as 1916, but their full potential was first realized in the 1930s [1, 2 J. Since then their uses have steadily increased and include many industrial purposes, water treatment, and antifungal treatment in horticulture, as well as inclusion in pharmaceutical and everyday consumer products. For example, benzalkonium chloride, the most commonly used, is found in products such as eye drops, artificial tears, decongestion nose drops, facial moistures, facial cleansers, acne treatments, sun protection creams and lotions, body lotions, moisturizers, pain relievers, and hand sanitizers [3 ]. Very often good reasons for their use are lacking and claims are limited to assertions that they are bug-killers .
