The present invention discloses a natural broad-spectrum preservative composition containing a citrus grandis fruit extract and its use. The composition mainly comprises a citrus grandis fruit extract, a hydroximic acid, an aromatic alcohol, and one or more polyols. The preservative composition uses a natural citrus grandis fruit extract as a main raw material, which is combined with a hydroxamic acid having a good inhibitory effect on fungi and an aromatic alcohol having a good inhibitory effect on bacteria dissolved in an improved functional solvent, has the characteristics of low irritation and high safety, and not only provides an excellent broad-spectrum bacteriostatic effect, but also improves the performance and values of the product due to the good oxidation resistance of the citrus grandis fruit extract.

The present invention provides a compound represented by formula (I) wherein a combination of X and L represents a combination wherein X represents a nitrogen atom and L represents an oxygen atom or NH, etc., n is 1 or 2, E represents a C6-C10 aryl group, etc., R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are identical to or different from each other and each represents a C1-C3 chain hydrocarbon group which may be optionally substituted with one or more halogens, etc.]

which has an excellent control efficacy against pests, or its N-oxide or salts of the same.

The present invention relates to a solution for resisting destruction of living plants and a related method. A solution including a buffered amine oxide admixed with at least one material selected from the group consisting of insecticides and fungicides is applied to the living plant and provides a synergistically effective greater resistance to living plant deterioration than any of the individual buffered amine oxide, insecticides and fungicide achieve considered individually. A related method is disclosed.
