A method of treating leather or hide is provided whereby a biocide and one or more detectable tags are applied to a piece of leather or hide. The detectable tag(s) can be detected to indicate one or more pieces of information, such as that the biocide has been applied to the piece of leather or hide and/or other information. Information about the biocide and the tannery that applied the biocide or other information can be discerned from detecting the detectable tag or from one or more of the detectable tags if used. A system for tagging leather or hide and applying a biocide are also provided as are methods and systems for detecting the tags.

Disclosed are granular formulations of herbicides that provide a means to apply non-selective herbicides to field and paddy crops and turf. Granules can be formulated with sub-particles to allow differential release of one or other active ingredient. Granules or sub-particles allow for controlled release of active ingedient such that while up to 30% of the active ingredient is available within 24 h, the remainder requires 3 to 40 days to become available. Sub-particles may also be used as conventional sprays to reduce uptake by leaves of desirable crops.

The invention relates to a biocidal composition containing 5-chlorine-2-methylisothiazolin-3-one and at least one other component selected from the group consisting of 1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-one, 2-bromine-2-nitropropane-1,3-diol and zinc. The claimed biocidal composition is characterized in that it contains methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one in the region of between 0-2 wt. %, in relation to the total proportion of 5-chlorine-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-ones. The invention also relates to the use of the claimed biocidal compositions for conserving technical products.
