Zusammenfassung: | The present invention relates to the modulation of pesticidal and herbicidal activity by treatment of a membrane transport system in a cell. This entails modifying the extra-cellular phosphatases found in the membranes of these cells. By modifying the ATP gradient across the biological membrane of a target plant, bacteria, insect or mammalian cell via inhibiting one or more extra-cellular phosphatases, it is possible to alter the sensitivity to a pesticide or herbicide. In preferred embodiments, the chemical moieties of t he invention act as adjuvants to enhance pesticidal activity. |
