Agglomerated dispersible granules are disclosed including activated alumina particles and phosphate particles. The activated alumina particles have a porous structure and a plurality of electrically-charged binding sites disposed within the porous structure. The activated alumina particles and the phosphate particles are present in the agglomerated dispersible granules as distinct phases agglomerated together. A method for amending soil with buffered phosphorus is disclosed including physically blending and then agglomerating activated alumina particles with phosphate particles to form the agglomerated dispersible granules. The agglomerated dispersible granules are applied to soil with the activated alumina particles and the phosphate particles being present as distinct phases and the activated alumina particles being free of phosphate disposed within the porous structure. An activated alumina suspension is disclosed including activated alumina particles suspended as a dispersed phase in a continuous phase, the activated alumina particles having a particle size less than 200 μm.

The invention relates to an aqueous pesticidal composition comprising a) suspended particles comprising dimpropyridaz, and b) triethylammonium chloride. It also relates to a method for producing the pesticidal composition; to a method for treating plant propagation material; to the use of triethylammonium chloride for inhibiting the crystal growth of particles of dimpropyridaz that are suspended in an pesticidal composition; a method for treating or protecting an animal from infestation or infection by invertebrate pests which comprises bringing the animal in contact with a pesticidally effective amount of the pesticidal composition; to a method for combating or controlling invertebrate pests, which method comprises contacting said pest or its food supply, habitat or breeding grounds with a pesticidally effective amount of the pesticidal composition; and to a method for protecting growing plants from attack or infestation by invertebrate pests, which method comprises contacting a plant, or soil or water in which the plant is growing, with a pesticidally effective amount of the pesticidal composition.

Compositions for forming protective coatings on, e.g., agricultural products, can form a lamellar structure on the surface of the agricultural product that forms a barrier to, e.g., water and gas.

The invention relates to a hybrid material, in particular provided as an additive relating to materials, substances and/or coating materials for producing an antimicrobial, antiviral and/or fungicidal effect, and which comprises particles, each of which comprising at least one carrier material being at least partially coated with at least two different metals, wherein at least one first metal and one second metal are, at least with their respective surfaces, in electrically conductive contact to each other. According to the invention the first metal comprises at least one semiconductive compound of at least one transition metal element, which exhibits multiple oxidation states and allows a change of the oxidation states by means of catalytically active centers, and the second metal comprises at least one electrically conductive silver semiconductor, wherein both metals establish half cells which are short-circuited in the presence of water and oxygen and thus develop an antimicrobial, antiviral and/or fungicidal effect, wherein the carrier material comprises at least one material being adapted to the substance and/or the coating material and their use. The hybrid material according to the invention can be advantageously used as antimicrobial additive for various materials, substances and/or coating materials, preferably lacquers, paints, plastering, polymers and/or cellulose.
