A composition having molecular iodine in combination with a polyol can be used for control and treatment of microbes and infections on biological and non-biological surfaces. Compositions have a combination of molecular iodine (I2) and an acceptable source of iodate (IO3), and a buffering acid (inorganic or organic), in combination with a polyol in an amount of 3-50% by weight. The present compositions can also have prebiotic and probiotic properties on biological surfaces and membranes for the control and treatment of infection as well as the support of growth of commensal microbes and the control of pathogenic microbes.

Method for simultaneously preventing pink bollworm and American bollworm, the method including at least: a step in which cotton seedlings are planted in a field 21-41 days after the date of occurrence of the adult stage of the pink bollworm in the case of the first generation, and 1-29 days after the date of occurrence of the adult stage in the case of second and subsequent generations; and a step in which an extended-release pheromone preparation including at least Z,Z/Z,E-7,11-hexadecadienyl acetate, which is a sexual pheromone substance for pink bollworm, and Z-11-hexadecenal, which is a sexual pheromone substance for American bollworm, is implanted in the field 2-15 days before the expected date of occurrence of the adult stage of the next generation of pink bollworm, the expected date derived from the effective integrated temperature, and the sexual pheromone substances in the extended-release pheromone preparation are released in the field.
