Abstract: The invention relates to trialkyl sulfonium salts, compositions comprising the trialkyl sulfonium salts, agricultural compositions comprising such compositions, to the use of the trialkyl sulfonium salts and of the compositions as pesticide, preferably as fungicide, and to methods for controlling or combating pests and/or improving plant health by means of the trialkyl sulfonium salts and the compositions.

Abstract: The invention relates to a trialkyl sulfonium chloride, compositions comprising the trialkyl sulfonium chloride, agricultural compositions comprising such compositions and trialkyl sulfonium chloride, respectively, to the use of the trialkyl sulfonium chloride and of the compositions as a pesticide, preferably as a fungicide, and to methods for controlling or combating pests and/or improving plant health by means of the trialkyl sulfonium chloride and compositions.

Abstract: In accordance with, the present invention, there is provided an antimicrobial composition comprising an aqueous solution containing copper and/or zinc ions, optionally a hydroxide salt, and phosphorous acid. The composition, is additionally sporicidal and scleroticidal when combined with a salt of nitrous acid such as sodium nitrite. The present invention may also include chemicals containing the phosphite or phosphonaie group (PO/l which can inhibit the formation of scierotia at concentrations that are readily achievable for agricultural applications. Compositions of the present invention, inhibit, scierotia formation by fungi and may therefore be used in the field to prevent the continuation and advancement of pathogenie fungi.

Abstract: The invention provides an antifungal composition comprising an antifungal compound of formula R—S+(R?)2 or R—N+(R?)3 wherein R is C17-C32 straight chain or branched alkyl; and each R? is independently methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl or butyl; and uses of said composition as antifungal agents.
