The present invention provides a method of controlling bacterial contamination using synergistic interactions of antimicrobials. The invention consists of combinations of chlorine dioxide and organic acid whose combined antimicrobial effect is greater than the sum of their individual activities, i.e., synergistic.

Compositions and methods for increasing the efficacy of pesticidal compositions are described herein, including synergistic pesticidal compositions comprising: benzovindiflupyr, bixafen, boscalid, cyproconazole, fenpicoxamid, fenpyrazimine, florylpicoxamid, flutriafol, fluxapyroxad, isopyrazam, isotianil, kresoxim-methyl, metrafenone, oxathiapiprolin, penflufen, penthiopyrad, picoxystrobin, prothioconazole, pydiflumetofen, revysol, sedaxane, trifloxystrobin, pyraclostrobin, azoxystrobin, chlorothalonil, cyprodinil, metalaxyl, epoxiconazole, propiconazole, difenoconazole, fludioxonil, mancozeb, tebuconazole, valifenalate, in combination with a C4-C10 saturated or unsaturated aliphatic acid and methods for delivery of pesticidal active ingredients. Some pesticidal compositions and methods as described are directed to compositions and methods for increasing the efficacy of fungicides. Some pesticidal compositions and methods as described are directed to compositions and methods for increasing the efficacy of nematicides. Some pesticidal compositions and methods as described are directed to compositions and methods for increasing the efficacy of insecticides. Methods for enhancing the activity pesticidal active ingredients in pesticidal compositions in use are also described.

A method for mosquito control is provided in the form of mosquito larvicide carrying insects which can be introduced in a mosquito population to thereby control the mosquito population. The larvicide carrier insects may include artificially generated adult insect carriers of a mosquito larvicide in which the mosquito larvicide has minimal impact on the adult insect carrier and which mosquito larvicide affects juvenile mosquito survival or interferes with metamorphosis of juvenile mosquitoes to adulthood. The larvicide carrier insects may be either male or female and may include mosquitoes and non-mosquito insects.
