This invention relates generally to use of a stable aqueous carbonyl compound containing solution, or a mixture of different carbonyl compounds containing solutions, in a program of integrated vector management.

A chlorine dioxide sustained-releasing sterilizing and disinfecting nano material, and a preparation method and use thereof are disclosed. A support, i.e., a porous material with silicon dioxide as a main component, is soaked in a chlorine dioxide-containing solution to adsorb chlorine dioxide on the surface of silicon dioxide, and the resulting mixture is filtered, and the obtained solid is dried to obtain the chlorine dioxide sustained-releasing sterilizing and disinfecting nano material. When the chlorine dioxide sustained-releasing sterilizing and disinfecting nano material is used for sterilizing and disinfecting, the adsorbed chlorine dioxide reacts with water physically and chemically adsorbed on the surface of the support to generate a large quantity of active groups .OH, and meanwhile sustainedly release dioxide chlorine gas, having a synergistic effect, and thereby enabling the material finally to exhibit high-efficiency and excellent sterilizing and disinfecting performance.

Novel strains of the insect-pathogenic fungus, Metarhizium var. anisopliae fungal strain BNL 101 deposited in the CABI UK Centre, United Kingdom, having ICI CC Number 506833; or BNL 102 deposited in the CABI UK Centre, United Kingdom, having ICI CC Number 506834; or a culture having the identifying characteristics thereof, are disclosed. The present invention also discloses methods of using the fungal strains, and spores obtained therefrom, to control insects, and provides a natural pest control preparation. The preparations and compositions comprise several unique and desirable features, such as a wide host range or alternatively a selective host range, and a consistent pathogenicity. The preparations and compositions have a high virulence (insecticidal activity), that is 2 times to 3 times, or greater, mor virulent (insecticidal) than compositions or preparations that do not contain the preparation or composition, and especially that do not contain the BNL 101 or BNL 102 fungal strain, or spores therefrom. The fungal strains also provide for a high spore yield in production, and possess a high stability in the field.

A composition comprising: (a) a hydrogen peroxide source (b) an acetyl source (c) a peracetic acid bleachable dye
wherein, in solution, colour generated by said peracetic acid bleachable dye is substantially discharged when a biocidally effective concentration of peracetic acid is achieved.

The present disclosure includes the composition and methods of a granule formulation consist using a liquid biological active that has great handling properties yet still efficacious. The biological active is absorbed into or spray onto a mixture of carriers, dispersants, and/or wetting agents. When the product is formulated as a granule, it has good durability and does not dust which increases handleability of the product during application.

Disclosed herein an improvement in the fungicidal compositions. The present invention relates to a fungicide composition based on dithiocarbamate and another fungicide compound and a method for protecting plants against fungal diseases using said composition. The invention also relates to the water-dispersible granular formulations comprising a combination of mancozeb and a copper fungicide for controlling fungal infection such as Downy Mildew Powdery mildew and Anthracnose.
