The present invention relates to a method of controlling plant diseases caused by phytopathogenic microorganisms, comprising a step of applying a fungicidal composition comprising a compound of formula [1] or a salt thereof.

The present invention relates to a method of controlling plant diseases caused by phytopathogenic microorganisms, comprising a step of applying a fungicidal composition comprising a compound of formula [1] or a salt thereof.

The present invention discloses a harvest/post-harvest composition for washing flowering plants and a method of using the same. The composition includes a solution of Tetraacetylethylenediamine (TAED) and sodium percarbonate in a ration ranging from 1:1 to 3:1, respectively. The composition also includes a chelating agent and a pH regulator, which work to activate the TAED; and a surfactant. The pH regulator and the surfactant are added in quantity as minimal as possible to avoid foaming entirely or to produce negligible foaming.

Provided is a plant disease control composition having a broad spectrum against various plant pathogens, and shows excellent controlling effects (synergistic controlling effects) which cannot be expected from a single component alone. The plant disease control composition includes (Group a) at least one quinoline compound represented by the formula:

##STR00001##

(wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2: an alkyl which may be substituted, an aryl which may be substituted, etc.; R.sup.3, R.sup.4: H, an alkyl which may be substituted, etc.; X: halogen, an alkyl which may be substituted, etc.; Y: halogen, alkyl, etc.; n: 0 to 4; m: 0 to 6) or a salt thereof, and at least one of fungicidal compounds selected from the group consisting of a Strobilurin series compound, a triazole series compound, etc., as effective ingredients.
