Abstract: The present invention relates to a thinning method, in particular for fruit thinning, using 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea (diuron), and to thinning compositions comprising diuron.

Abstract: Thinning of crops, in particular for pomme fruit thinning, may be done by applying 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea (diuron). The diuron may be included and applied as a component of a composition.

Abstract: The invention relates to an agent for treating and/or preventing fire blight, particularly present in wood and fruit trees, comprising formic acid and/or a salt of formic acid, particularly calcium formiate as an active component. Further disclosed is the use of formic acid and/or a salt of formic acid, particularly calcium formiate as an active component in herbicides, particularly for treating and/or preventing fire blight, and the use of formic acid and/or a salt of formic acid, particularly calcium formiate, for the production of an agent for treating and/or preventing fire blight.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of controlling fungi and spores and to compositions suitable for this purpose and their use. The compositions according to the invention comprise trifloxystrobin, formate and optionally at least one further fungicide.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for combating fungi and spores and suitable means therefor, and to the use thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to agents for treating and/or avoiding fire blight in plants of the Rosaceae, in particular of the subfamilies Maloideae and Rosoideae, containing formiates as the active component.
