A biocidal composition, particularly a fungicidal and/or bactericidal composition, comprising a thiosemicarbazide, a thionocarbazate or a dithiocarbazate which, when using the composition, exhibits hitherto unknown biocidal properties. The thiosemicarbazide, thionocarbazate or dithiocarbazate contained in the composition belongs to the group of compounds having the general formula (I), and their complexes formed by reaction with compounds of the metals, Cu, Zn, Mn, Fe, Ca, Mg, Al, Sn and Ti having inorganic and/or organic ligands, and salts of said compounds. The compounds of the invention and particularly their metal complexes exhibit surprising fungicidal and bactericidal activities. They may particularly be used for combating or preventing attacks by fungi or bacteria or plants on plant material, including seed material. |
