Provided herein are disinfecting compositions of a biocidal agent with a polyglycerol ester having a synergistic effect which allow for a reduction in the amount of the biocidal agent necessary to be an effective disinfecting composition.

A biostimulant composition comprising an amino acid, a polysaccharide, a betaine, a polyol, an enzyme and a plant hormone is disclosed herein. The biostimulant compositions are useful for enhancing the biomass of a horticultural, arboricultural or an agricultural crop. The biostimulant compositions are also useful for enhancing at least one of enhancing protein content, sugar content, trace element content, resistance to bruising, or preservation capacity.

The invention relates to a liquid herbicidal composition comprising a) glufosinate, or a salt thereof, an amine component; and a compound of formula (I) [R-(A).sub.x-OSO.sub.3.sup.−]-M.sup.+ (I); wherein al variables have a meaning as defined herein. It also relates to a method for increasing the herbicidal activity of liquid herbicidal compositions comprising glufosinate or a salt thereof, and a compound of formula (I) comprising the step of contacting the liquid herbicidal composition with the amine component; and to a method for treating plant propagation material comprising the step of treating plant propagation material with the herbicidal composition.

The present invention relates to a method of treating a mineral or textile porous substrate to inhibit or reduce microbial growth in that porous substrate comprising the step of applying an anti-microbial composition to the porous substrate. Suitable anti-microbial compositions comprise one or more quaternary ammonium compounds selected from aminoalkyl(meth)acrylate polymer quats and alkoxylated quats, wherein the or each quaternary ammonium compound comprises an aliphatic C8 to C16 alkyl group, and at least one solvent selected from water and organic solvents. Suitably the anti-microbial composition does not comprise a binder polymer or resin and the quaternary ammonium compound penetrates the porous substrate to inhibit or reduce microbial growth in the porous substrate.
