PLANT PRIMING COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF
Provided herein are compositions and methods to improve plant resistance to abiotic and biotic stress, thereby improving crop yield. Provided herein are compositions including zinc, copper, and an acid, where the acid is selected from citric acid, sulfuric acid, oxalic acid, humic acid, fulvic acid, boric acid, acetic acid, and a combination thereof. Certain embodiments optionally include ammonium sulfate. Compositions described herein have plant priming activity where the plant's defenses against abiotic and biotic stress are boosted.

Naturally-derived surface sanitizer and disinfectant
Food processing equipment, food contact surfaces, and non-food contact surfaces are sanitized or disinfected using an acid-anionic surfactant solution that has efficacy in hard water, is non-corrosive, and is stable at elevated temperatures. The sanitizing/disinfecting solution is prepared as a highly concentrated liquid and diluted to end use concentrations prior to application to food processing equipment or food or non-food contact surfaces. Efficacy in hard water is important for sanitizers and disinfectants that are diluted by the end user using potentially hard water. Stability at elevated temperatures is important for long-term storage and transportation. The diluted sanitizing/disinfecting solution exhibits strong antimicrobial activity against gram positive and gram negative bacteria even when dilated in hard water. The sanitizing/disinfecting solution exhibits low toxicity to humans and the environment since it is prepared from low toxicity ingredients that are readily biodegradable.

Non-toxic, alcohol-free disinfectant and sanitizing composition
A non-toxic, alcohol-free disinfectant and sanitizing composition comprising a non-ionic surfactant system, an alkylated vegetable oil, a sodium-containing base, benzalkonium chloride, citric acid and purified water for use on skin, hands and hard surfaces. The materials from which it is manufactured are all renewable, non-toxic, alcohol-free, nonflammable and the composition is readily biodegradable. The composition does not rely upon alcohol to produce its antimicrobial effects. The invention provides effective alternative to alcohol-based disinfectant and sanitizers and may be particularly useful in personal care and cleaning household products for schools, hospitals, restaurants, hotels and supermarkets. Furthermore, the invention also met the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards and protocols for disinfectants on hard surfaces.
