POTENTIATION OF FIXED COPPERS AND OTHER PESTICIDES CONTAINING COPPER AND SUPPLEMENTING PLANT NUTRITION

摘要

A pesticide, fungicidal, bactericidal, anti-pathogen or biocidal composition includes at least one biologically inert carrier; and at least one ferrite or at least one doped component including at least one fixed copper compound doped with at least one compound selected from the group consisting of iron compounds, zinc compounds, magnesium compounds, calcium compounds, and combinations and/or mixtures thereof. In one embodiment, the doped component has a particle size of about 0.5 nm to about 30 microns. A method for the control of pests includes the step of applying to the pests or their growth habitat the aforementioned composition. The method also includes the control of disease in citrus plants caused by vectors such as Psyllid nymphs, by applying the aforementioned composition to their growth habitat in citrus groves.

1. A pesticidal composition to be applied to agricultural crop plants, wherein said composition is effective in treating agricultural plants afflicted with agricultural crop diseases, comprising:
a) at least one biologically inert carrier; and b) at least one ferrite containing copper, zinc or iron alone, or in any combination, and, c) optionally at least one doped component comprising at least one fixed copper compound doped with at least one compound selected from the group consisting of iron compounds, zinc compounds and combinations thereof; d) said pesticide composition to be applied to agricultural plants in an effective amount for the treatment of agricultural crop diseases.
