Abstract
A formulation of a pathogen inhibitor or probiotic as a slurry concentrate of a hydrated metal oxide for applications in agriculture, aquaculture, and as an anti antibiotic in which the bioactivity, when applied by dilution, is controlled by a precursor of Reactive Oxygen Species, and the release rate is controlled by the particle size. The invention may include a means whereby the precursor concentration may be controlled to meet the requirements of the ecosystem, from the maintenance of an aerobic system, to killing pathogenic, anaerobic microbes, or producing sterile ecosystems. In addition, the metal oxide may be selected to provide essential nutrients for growth of the agricultural or aquacultural products.
Claims20
An agricultural spray comprising a formulation adapted for use in agricultural applications, the formulation comprising;
- a slurry comprising particles and a fluid, in which the particles include a uniform distribution of magnesium hydroxide and magnesium peroxide with a relative molar ratio that is formulated to provide sufficient alkali and reactive oxygen species such that an ecosystem is promoted;
- providing magnesium to the plant as a fertilizer, when diluted and sprayed onto the leaves of a plant as a folia spray;
- and
- wherein at least one of the magnesium hydroxide and the magnesium peroxide make up at least 30% by weight of the formulation.
A formulation for producing a pathogen inhibitor concentrate formulation, wherein the formulation comprises a mixture of particles and fluid in a slurry, in which the particles include a uniform distribution of magnesium hydroxide, calcium carbonate and magnesium peroxide with a relative molar ratio that is formulated to provide sufficient alkali and reactive oxygen species to maintain a healthy ecosystem, and to provide magnesium and calcium to fish as a food, when diluted and dosed into the fluid, in which at least one of the magnesium hydroxide and the magnesium peroxide make up at least 30% by weight of the formulation.
A formulation for a topical ointment, wherein the formulation comprises a mixture of particles, fluid and viscosity modifiers and stabilizers, in which the particles include a uniform distribution of magnesium hydroxide and magnesium peroxide with a relative molar ratio that is formulated to provide alkali and reactive oxygen species to maintain a healthy ecosystem, in which at least one of the magnesium hydroxide and the magnesium peroxide make up at least 30% by weight of the formulation.
A bandage formulation comprising particles, fluid and setting agents, in which the particles comprise a uniform distribution of magnesium hydroxide and magnesium peroxide with a relative molar ratio that is formulated to provide alkali and reactive oxygen species to substantially inhibit migration of a pathogen through a bandage, in which at least one of the magnesium hydroxide and the magnesium peroxide make up at least 30% by weight of the formulation.
