Claims24
A flowable bioactive agrichemical composition in particle form comprising a bioactive acid composition comprising either a) solid carrier particles which have been treated with a bioactive acid solution having a pH of less than 6 and comprising an acid and at least one antimicrobial metal ion source said acid present in a molar excess, relative to the antimicrobial metal ions, and the concentration of antimicrobial metal ion in the acid solution is from about 1 ppm to about 500 ppm in the case of a single antimicrobial metal ion or from about 2 to about 1000 ppm in the case of multiple antimicrobial metal ions or b) a combination of at least one antimicrobial metal ion source and an acid, wherein the composition has a pH of less than 6, the acid is present in a molar excess to the antimicrobial metal ions of the source, and the concentration of antimicrobial metal ion is from about 1 ppm to about 500 ppm in the case of a single antimicrobial metal ion or from about 2 to about 1000 ppm in the case of multiple antimicrobial metal ions
The agrichemical composition of claim 14 wherein when the carrier particle is treated with an acid solution, the surfactant is a component of the acid solution.
