The present invention is directed to compositions containing a fungicide, a nitrification inhibitor, and a polyanion and finding particular utility in agricultural uses, e.g., directly applied to soil, or in combination with fertilizers to increase nutrient uptake and to inhibit nitrification and urease hydrolysis. More particularly, the subject matter is directed to compositions including a fungicide selected from amide-based fungicides, dithiocarbamate-based fungicides, oxazole-containing fungicides, phosphoric acid-derived fungicides, and a combination thereof; a nitrification inhibitor selected from S-containing compounds, cyano-containing compounds, N-heterocyclic-containing compounds, and a combination thereof, and a polyanion selected from a non-polymeric polyanion, a polymeric polyanion, and a combination thereof. Other uses of these compositions are also disclosed.

The present disclosure provides a method for controlling Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense tropical race 4 (Foc TR4). The present disclosure mainly aims to solve the problem of effectively inhibiting the Foc TR4, but the existing fungicides cannot effectively inhibit the Foc TR4 without damage to banana plants. By treating with the fungicide disclosed by the present disclosure, the growth of the Foc TR4 can be limited, and there is no adverse effect on banana plants.

Disclosed herein is one or more aqueous seed coating composition comprising (i) a binder comprising a modified starch, and (ii) an active ingredient, which composition works at least as well as or better than an aqueous seed coating composition containing a synthetic polymer, and, surprisingly, better than aqueous seed coating compositions containing unmodified starch. The binder comprising a modified starch is water soluble, compatible with the active ingredients, and more cost effective than using primarily synthetic polymers as the binder in an aqueous seed coating composition. Additionally, the one or more aqueous seed coating compositions described herein provide excellent seed coating characteristics, including demonstrating good flowability, decreased dust-off, and uniform coating application.
