The present invention also relates to the use of such compositions as pesticides.
Claims35
A composition comprising a soluble combination comprising:
- (i) lignosulfonate;
- (ii) a metal salt;
- and
- (iii) a phosphorous compound selected from the group consisting of phosphorous acid and spontaneously soluble salts thereof, and mixtures thereof.
A method of preventing, reducing and/or eliminating the presence of a pathogen on a plant or on one or more plant parts comprising applying a composition to the plant or to the one or more plant parts, wherein the composition comprises a soluble combination comprising:
- (i) lignosulfonate;
- (ii) a metal salt;
- and
- (iii) a phosphorous compound selected from the group consisting of phosphorous acid and spontaneously soluble salts thereof, and mixtures thereof.
A method of making a plant pathogen controlling composition, said method comprising adding the following three components to a liquid:
- lignosulfonate, a metal salt, and a phosphorous compound;
- mixing the components or allowing the components to mix so as to produce a solution which is a plant pathogen controlling composition, wherein the phosphorous compound is selected from the group consisting of phosphorous acid and spontaneously soluble salts thereof, and mixtures thereof.
