Claims14
A method for treating agricultural fungal and/or bacterial infections comprising:
- (a) administering an effective amount of a composition comprising:
- or a solvate thereof and
- wherein the NR1R2 and NR3R4 moieties are in the ortho, meta or para position;
- wherein X− is an anionic salt;
- wherein R1, R2, R3, and R4 are independently selected from the group consisting of methyl, ethyl, C1-10 alkyl (linear or branched), alkenes (linear or branched), or wherein R1 and R2 or R3 and R4 taken together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached form pyrrolidino or piperidino rings;
- and
- wherein R5 is selected from the group consisting of methyl, ethyl, C1-10 alkyl (linear or branched), alkenes (linear or branched), alkynes, n-propyl, i-propyl, n-butyl, i-butyl, substituted and unsubstituted aryl moieties and substituted and unsubstituted benzyl moieties;
- and
- (b) administering an insecticide.

A method of protecting a plant from fungal infection comprising contacting a plant during a stage of the growth of said plant with a compound comprising:
- or a solvate thereof and
- wherein the NR1R2 and NR3R4 moieties are in the ortho, meta or para position;
- wherein X− is an anionic salt;
- wherein R1, R2, R3, and R4 are independently selected from the group consisting of methyl, ethyl, C1-10 alkyl (linear or branched), alkenes (linear or branched), or wherein R1 and R2 or R3 and R4 taken together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached form pyrrolidino or piperidino rings;
- and
- wherein R5 is selected from the group consisting of methyl, ethyl, C1-10 alkyl (linear or branched), alkenes (linear or branched), alkynes, n-propyl, i-propyl, n-butyl, i-butyl, substituted and unsubstituted aryl moieties and substituted and unsubstituted benzyl moieties.
