Functions and use: Prevents and controls various major Lepidoptera insects in agriculture and forestry and is particularly applicable for the production of pollution-free green products and organic food. Scope of application: Prevention and control of major Lepidoptera insects in various field crops vegetables forest and green zones.

Soil-borne fungal pathogens from the genus Fusaria limit the cultivation of more than a hundred plant species including bananas cotton tomato potato and sugar beet. The pathogens causing Fusarium wilt invade and colonize plant roots which leads to rotting. Present methods for the control of soil-born fungi include: breeding for resistance (if feasible) soil fumigation with volatile chemicals and solarization. There is currently no effective method to control Fusarium wilt and the fungus is highly resistant to fungicides.

There are currently few satisfactory choices for the rectification of toxic or radioactive metal contamination of soils. On a small scale contaminated areas may be restored by physical removal of surface layers followed by appropriate disposition (usually remote burial) of the material and re-landscaping to restore the site. On a large scale this approach is infeasible and the alternative is to abandon the land for a prolonged period or permanently restricting access or uses.
