An antiviral coating agent includes a tannic acid derivative including at least one organic group having 1 to 18 carbon atoms and a binder resin having a number-average molecular weight of 1,000 or more. The average number of the organic groups included in a molecule of the tannic acid derivative is, for example, 1 to 19.

Agrochemical formulations for treating plants, which formulations comprise, as cosolvent, polyethylene glycol (average molecular weights ranging from 200 to 400) or polypropylene glycol (average molecular weights ranging from 300 to 400) or mixtures, and, if appropriate, further additives, a process for preparing these formulations, their use for treating plants and/or their habitat and for increasing the efficacy and plant compatibility of these formulations, and for reducing volatile emission potential of these formulations.

The present invention relates to phenylpyridines of formula (I)

##STR00001##

wherein the variables are defined according to the description, processes and intermediates for preparing the phenylpyridines of the formula (I), compositions comprising them and their use as herbicides, i.e. for controlling harmful plants, and also a method for controlling unwanted vegetation which comprises allowing a herbicidal effective amount of at least one phenylpyridine of the formula (I) to act on plants, their seed and/or their habitat.

The invention relates to a composition comprising natamycin and at least one insecticide that interferes with the nervous system and/or muscular system of insects and nematodes. The invention further relates to methods employing natamycin and at least one insecticide that interferes with the nervous system and/or muscular system of insects and nematodes, preferably said composition, for protecting a plant or plant part, for improving the development and/or yield of an agricultural plant, and for protecting a soil and/or a growth substrate.

Compositions and methods for controlling fire ant infestations are described using a pesticide agent combined with a masking agent to overcome resistance of fire ants and increase insecticidal acceptance/efficacy are described. The masking agents used in preparing the compositions and methods of using them described are widely used ingredients not expected to affect human health.
