Provided is a plant disease control composition having a broad spectrum against various plant pathogens, and shows excellent controlling effects (synergistic controlling effects) which cannot be expected from a single component alone. The plant disease control composition includes (Group a) at least one quinoline compound represented by the formula: ##STR00001##
(wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2: an alkyl which may be substituted, an aryl which may be substituted, etc.; R.sup.3, R.sup.4: H, an alkyl which may be substituted, etc.; X: halogen, an alkyl which may be substituted, etc.; Y: halogen, alkyl, etc.; n: 0 to 4; m: 0 to 6) or a salt thereof, and at least one of fungicidal compounds selected from the group consisting of a Strobilurin series compound, a triazole series compound, etc., as effective ingredients.

The present invention relates to herbicidal compositions comprising a transition metal chelate; and a potassium-containing salt and/or a sodium-containing salt; wherein said composition has enhanced herbicidal activity when compared with an otherwise identical composition lacking said potassium-containing salt and/or said sodium-containing salt; as well as related methods and uses.

A copper ion-complexed poly gamma-glutamic acid (γ-PGA)/chitosan (CS)/cotton blended antibacterial knitted fabric and a preparation method includes chitosan that is crosslinked with poly gamma-glutamic acid, then a copper-ammonia complex ion solution is added to prepare a spinning solution. The spinning solution is wet spun and then stretched, washed with water, finished, washed with water, and dried to get copper ion-complexed poly gamma-glutamic acid/chitosan composite fibers. The blended antibacterial knitted fabric is then prepared by using cotton fiber yarns and the composite fibers. There is a very high coordination coefficient between carboxyl groups of gamma-PGA and amino groups of CS, so the structure is stable. Poly-gamma glutamic acid can be used as water-retaining agent and heavy metal ion adsorbent, which can increase the loading rate of copper ions.

The present disclosure is generally directed to a mold inhibiting composition. The mold inhibiting composition can be used to treat various different substrates, including building material products, such as facing layers for wallboard. In general, any suitable paper product may be treated with the composition. The composition contains a mold inhibiting agent in combination with a defoamer. The mold inhibiting agent may comprise a pyrithione. The defoamer, on the other hand, may comprise an oil based defoamer containing metal oxide particles, such as silica particles. The mold inhibiting composition can be combined with a water repellent and applied to a substrate without excessive amounts of foam or froth being formed. The defoamer is selected so as to not interfere with the resulting water absorption properties of the product.
