Quat-free surface treatment powders comprising a peroxide source, an acyl group donor and an alkalinity source are used to disinfect and/or sanitize hard surfaces. The surface treatment powders can be applied to a hard surface and left there for a period of time. The surface treatment powders are ambient moisture activated, which means that they can generate peracetic acid when a portion or all of the powder that is on the hard surface adsorbs water from the atmosphere. In addition or alternatively, the surface treatment powders are activated, i.e., generate peracetic acid through the incidental or purposeful addition of liquid thereto.

The present invention relates to co-crystals of boscalid and a triazole fungicide such as hexaconazole or cyproconazole. Also included are agrochemical compositions and methods of combating or controlling fungi by contacting the fungi or their locus with a fungicidally effective amount of the co-crystal.

A bacterial product may comprise strains Azospirillum oryzae AO.sub.512, Azospirillum lipoferum AL.sub.20, Pantoea dispersa PD.sub.2, Bacillus subtilis TU.sub.2, Lysinibacillus sphaericus 3S and Paenibacillus polymyxa SR.sub.17, in a total minimal concentration of 10.sup.8 CFU/g (Colony forming Units). These bacteria may be attached to an insoluble granular carrier formed of a mixture of natural clays and minerals. This formulation may preserve the viability of the microorganism for a long time while in storage, as well as after its application on the field. These microorganisms, as PGPR, may be capable of fixing atmospheric nitrogen, solubilize phosphates, potassium, as well as other minerals immobilized in the soil, which allows for a drastic reduction, and even for a complete elimination, of conventional fertilization methods. These bacteria are not harmful in any sense neither to human beings nor the environment.

The invention relates to plant protection agents in the form of a liquid formulation containing a dispersion medium and a particulate composition that comprises a specific mixture of calcium hydroxide, fatty acids and, optionally, additives. The invention also relates to non-aqueous concentrates for providing such plant protection agents, and to the production of such particulate compositions.
