A topical sanitizing composition for reducing the concentration of non-enveloped viruses on the skin is provided. The topical sanitizing composition includes one or more pH adjusters, at least one carbomer, and at least about 50 wt. % of one or more C.sub.1-8 alcohols. The sanitizing composition with pH adjuster and carbomer is able to achieve at least a 3.0 log reduction in the concentration of the non-enveloped virus and in some cases passes the EN 14476 standard.

The present invention relates to active compound combinations, in particular within a pesticide composition, which comprise as compound (a) one or more fatty acids or derivatives thereof selected from unsaturated and saturated C.sub.12-24 fatty acids, salts thereof, esters thereof or mixtures of any of the foregoing and as compound (b) at least one further pesticidally active agent. Moreover, the invention relates to pest control compositions comprising such compound combination and to the use of the compound combinations and the pest control compositions for control of insects, nematodes or mites in crop protection and in the protection of industrial materials.

A no-rinse freshening composition for treating an inanimate surface or article is described. The freshening composition includes: at least 85% by weight of the freshening composition of water; a carboxylic acid; a salt of citric acid; and a mixture of first and second antimicrobial agents, wherein each of the first and second antimicrobial agents is according to Formula (I). The composition has a neat pH of from 3 to 6 at room temperature and a weight ratio of the total amount of the carboxylic acid and the salt of citric acid to the mixture of the first and second antimicrobial agents is from 1:1 to 10:1.

A computer system that predicts synergistic interactions between pesticidal and synergistic compounds of a pesticidal composition is described. The system provides a trained classifier that provides probabilistic predictions of the synergy between two or more compounds on a pest. The system may select features for transformation, encode them, generate one or more predictions, and combine the predictions. The predictions may be evaluated by experimental testing, e.g. in vitro or in planta, and/or used to formulate and/or apply a pesticidal composition.

The present invention is directed to compositions containing a fungicide, a nitrification inhibitor, and a polyanion and finding particular utility in agricultural uses, e.g., directly applied to soil, or in combination with fertilizers to increase nutrient uptake and to inhibit nitrification and urease hydrolysis. More particularly, the subject matter is directed to compositions including a fungicide selected from amide-based fungicides, dithiocarbamate-based fungicides, oxazole-containing fungicides, phosphoric acid-derived fungicides, and a combination thereof; a nitrification inhibitor selected from S-containing compounds, cyano-containing compounds, N-heterocyclic-containing compounds, and a combination thereof, and a polyanion selected from a non-polymeric polyanion, a polymeric polyanion, and a combination thereof. Other uses of these compositions are also disclosed.
