Disclosed is an anti-algal agent to inhibit algal growth on articles treated with the anti-algal agent. Initially, a Supramolecular Macrocyclic Inorganic Polymer (SMIP) having multiple voids is derived. The voids are in a crystal structure of the SMIP. The SMIP is derived from a metallic element having a multiple valance. The metallic element may have a differential polarity, a hydrogen bonding ability, and an imbalanced electronic orbital energy disposition. Further, a Technical Grade Active Ingredient (TGAI) may be infused in the voids of the SMIP to obtain an anti-algal agent. The anti-algal agent may act as at least one of a biocides or as a preservative to inhibit algal growth on the articles treated. Furthermore, the anti-algal agent when used for treating on properties of treated articles may avoid deterioration of the article from microbial attacks.

The present disclosure describes formulations and methods for agricultural production. The formulations comprise an active agricultural compound, a polymer, a dispersant and/or a wetting agent, and water, wherein the active is selected from the group consisting of fungicides, insecticides, nematicides, herbicides, safeners, growth regulators, and combinations thereof. The polymer is a polyelectrolyte comprising hydrophobic and hydrophilic monomers, such as, styrene, methacrylic acid, 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid and ethyl acrylate. The formulations described herein have reduced, inhibited and/or mitigated crystallization of the active compounds.
