A composition for weed control and fertilizer comprising iron hydroxyl ethylenediaminetriacetic acid, fertilizer mineral supplement, feed grade urea, a natural-based wetting agent, molasses desugarized solubles, and water, and may further comprise glycerin and/or preservatives, are provided. Methods for weed control and fertilization of plants comprising the steps of providing a composition comprising an effective amount of iron hydroxyl ethylenediaminetriacetic acid, fertilizer mineral supplement, feed grade urea, natural-based wetting agent, and molasses desugarized solubles, and applying an effective amount of the composition to soil or a plant or a weed, are also provided.

Provided herein is a liquid, nonaqueous composition including a pesticide in form of suspended particles, a water soluble solvent, an inorganic thickener, and an alkoxylate. Further provided herein is a method for the preparation of the composition, wherein the pesticide, the water soluble solvent, the inorganic thickener, and the alkoxylate are contacted. Additionally provided herein is a method for controlling phytopathogenic fungi, undesired plant growth, and/or undesired attack by insects or mites, and/or for regulating the growth of plants, wherein the composition acts on the particular pests, their habitat, the plants to be protected from the particular pest, the soil, the undesired plants, the useful plants, and/or the habitat of each plant.

The present disclosure includes a composition and a method for inhibiting bacteria growth. In particular, the present disclosure includes a composition for inhibiting lactic acid bacteria growth in a media contaminated by, or at risk of being contaminated by, one or more species of lactic acid bacteria. The composition comprises a decomposition product, such as a bio-oil, derived from an oxidative depolymerized lignin sample and includes one or more phenolic constituents. The method includes implementing the decomposition product into a media contaminated by, or at risk of being contaminated by, lactic acid bacteria in a concentration to inhibit growth of one or more species of lactic acid bacteria in the media.

A method for producing a fermentate including the steps of obtaining a fruit or vegetable extract, treating the extract with a hydrolytic enzyme, mixing the extract with a fermenting microorganism, water, and a growth media to produce a liquid composition; and incubating the liquid composition at a controlled temperature and a controlled pH to produce a fermentate. A method for killing or inhibiting the growth of a contaminating microorganism on or within a food product, and a food product including a fermentate having a cellular mass component from a fermenting microorganism, a fermented fruit or vegetable extract and a hydrolytic enzyme are disclosed. A fermentate produced by any one of the methods described is contemplated. The fermentate may be a concentrated liquid or a dry powder and has the ability to inhibit the growth of a contaminating microorganism by 100% when diluted to less than 5% (w/v).
