A phosphate-free disinfectant composition devoid of non-surfactant sulfonic acid(s). The composition includes water and from about 0.8 to about 8 wt. % of a concentrate containing a mixture of: a) from about 3 to about 5 wt. % hydrogen peroxide based on a total weight of the concentrate, b) a beta hydroxy acid in an amount ranging from about 0.1 to 0.8 wt. % based on a total weight of the concentrate, c) from about 0.02 to less than 0.05 wt. % of hydroxyalkane diphosphonic acid based on a total weight of the concentrate, d) one or more glycol ether solvents in an amount ranging from about 5 to about 10 wt. % based on a total weight of the concentrate, e) optionally, one or more surfactants in an amount ranging from about 2 to about 10 wt. % based on a total weight of the concentrate, and f) the balance water.

Provided herein are compounds of general Formula I:

##STR00001##

or agriculturally acceptable salts thereof. The compounds of Formula I can be used to improve the health of plants. For example, the compounds of Formula I can be used to inhibit a microbial pathogen of a plant, or to increase resistance of a plant to one or more abiotic stress.

A method is provided in which a combination of an ethoxylated alcohol and an antimicrobial agent is used to impede virus spread. The method is particularly suitable to impede enveloped virus spread.
