TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - AGRICULTURE - Preferred Components: The insecticidal or acaricidal compound is biodegradable pyrethroids, carbamates, organophosphates, aliphatic derivatives, phenyl derivatives, heterocyclic derivatives, neonicotinoids, phenylpyrazoles, pyrroles, pyrazoles, pyridazinones, botanicals, or mineral oils. The pheromonal or kairomonal attractant is insect, mite, spider, or tick pheromones or kairomones diluted in organic solvent. The pheromonal or kairomonal attractant is diluted in an organic solvent. The insecticidal attract-and-kill composition comprises (wt. %) gelled castor oil (30-80) as a matrix component, lignin (5-80) as a matrix component and absorbent of ultraviolet light, insecticidal permethrin (0.1-10), and pheromone (either (2S,12Z)-2-acetoxy-12-heptadecene or (E,E)-8,10-dodecadienol (codlemone)) in organic solvent (0.1-20). The composition can optionally not contain the insecticidal or acaricidal compound. The composition may contain a repellent instead of attractant. Preferred Methods: The composition is applied by manual or automated delivery devices.    TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Components: The organic matrix component is gelled castor oil, gelled canola oil, gelled soybean oil, gelled hydrogenated vegetable oil, gelled palm oil, gelled rice bran oil, gelled sunflower oil, gelled flax seed oil, gelled hemp seed oil, gelled grape seed oil, gelled safflower oil, or other suitable plant-derived oil. The organic ultraviolet light absorbent matrix component is different grades of modified and unmodified lignins. The organic solvent is polar, non-polar, protonic, and aprotonic solvents. ACTIVITY - Insect Attractant; Insecticide. The composition was evaluated by its ability to reduce fruit bunch damage caused by Kermania pistaciella. The composition was administered to the fruit harvest at 25 mg droplets. Results showed that the proportion of damaged fruit bunches per tree was lower than those in insecticide treatment plots or control plots.    MECHANISM OF ACTION - None given.    ADMINISTRATION - The composition was administered at 25-50 mg droplets via spray route.    EXAMPLE - No suitable example given.
