Described herein are fungicidal compositions and methods of controlling and/or suppressing phytopathogenic fungi and fungus-like pathogens and maintaining crop health. Particularly described are fungicidal compositions and methods of controlling the phytopathogenic fungi and the Aphanomyces fungus-like pathogen and maintaining crop health in crops susceptible to infection.

The present invention relates to fungicidal mixtures comprising a) a succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor fungicide; and b) folpet.

A process for preparation of thiocyclam base and salt. A method of manufacturing N,N-dimethyl-1,2,3-trithian-5-ylainine hydrochloride is described including the steps of: providing a mixture of thiosulfuric acid S, S′[2-(dimethylamino) trimethylene] ester monosodium salt and sodium hydroxide; adding an aqueous saline solution to the mixture of thiosulfuric acid S, S′-[2-(dimethylamino) trimethylene] ester monosodium salt and sodium hydroxide; separating the phases of the mixture; collecting the solids from the mixture using filtration; washing the solids with organic solvent; and drying the solids, where the dried solids are methyl-1,2,3-trithian-5-ylamine hydrochloride, and where the yield of the N,N-dimethyl-1,2,3-trithian-5-ylamine hydrochloride is increased by incorporation of a body charge of diatomaceous earth into the saline addition step, forming a mixture of the diatomaceous C earth with the composition of this step, and filtering the charged mixture through a diatomaceous earth media prior to the separation step.

Techniques regarding tracking the application coverage of an antimicrobial coating and/or monitoring the degradation of the antimicrobial coating on a surface are provided. For example, one or more embodiments described herein can comprise a method that includes forming an antimicrobial coating by mixing a first solution comprising a tracer compound with a second solution comprising an antimicrobial compound. The method can further include inhibiting growth of a microbe on a surface by applying the antimicrobial coating to the surface.
