Described herein are quaternary ammonium polymers with broad spectrum antimicrobial properties that produce fast acting, long lasting, non-toxic and nonallergenic colorless and transparent durable surface coatings that are resistant to water and common solvents. The surface coatings are easy and cost effective to produce from readily-available materials using versatile synthesis, enabling a wide range of chemical variations. Such coatings are readily applicable to a wide range of surfaces and materials, without leaching of material from the coatings.

The present invention provides methods of regulating plant stress tolerance.

The present invention provides methods of regulating plant stress tolerance.

The present disclosure provides antifungal compositions and methods for their use. In particular, the compositions comprise (E)-3-methyl-N-(1-(naphthalen-2-yl) ethylidene)benzohydrazide, which enhances or potentiates the activity of certain fungicides.

The disclosure concerns a formulation comprising an aqueous suspension of a first active compound having a structure

##STR00001##

and a dispersant, a freezing point depressant, and a buffer or partially neutralized base, such that the pH of the formulation is from about 6 to 11. The formulation comprises particles of the first active compound having a volume-weighted median particle size, as measured by light scattering, of from greater than 0.01 to 20 microns. The formulation may also comprise a viscosity modifier, biocide, antifoam, surfactant, and/or an agriculturally active compound, such as a an acaricide, antimicrobial, fungicide, herbicide, insecticide, molluscicide, or nematocide, or a combination thereof. Also disclosed are agricultural compositions comprising the formulation and methods of using the same.
