A topical serum and its method of production and use. The serum is used to treat damage on plant tissue, such as damaged leaves. The serum triggers the immunity responses of the plant, therein enabling the damaged tissue to heal, rather than die and fall away from the plant. The serum is a combination of aqueous solutions. The first solution contains at least one immunity response compound that is selected from methyl jasmonate and methyl salicylate. The second solution contains at least one B vitamin. The solutions are mixed to form a topical serum. The topical serum is applied over the damaged tissue, wherein the immunity response compounds enhance the pattern-triggered immunity response and the effector-triggered immunity response of the plant. The vitamin B solution inhibits the oxidation and preserves undamaged. tissue.

An antimicrobial composition comprising (i) an effective amount of a first antimicrobial agent consisting of at least one compound according to Formula 1:

##STR00001## wherein R.sub.1 is a branched or unbranched, saturated or unsaturated, unsubstituted C3 to C5 alkyl chain or a C3 alkyl chain substituted with a methoxy group; (ii) (optionally) an effective amount of at least one surfactant selected from the group consisting of anionic surfactants, nonionic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants, and cationic surfactants; and (iii) a diluent, q.s. to 100; wherein the antimicrobial composition is substantially free of peroxygen compounds, antibiotics, and chloroacetamide. Also described are methods of using the composition in the field of infection control and prevention.
