Abstract: The invention relates to a plant protecting composition or agricultural pesticide, comprising a substance which is selected from the group comprising poly(alkyl)guanidines, poly(alkyl)biguanidines, polyguanines or octenidin, or any blends of substances of this group. In a preferred embodiment, the substance which is selected from the group comprising poly(alkyl)guanidines, poly(alkyl)—biguanidines, polyguanines or octenidin, or any blends of substances of this group, is present in combination with at least one other component exhibiting activity against agricultural pests. Said least one other component exhibiting activity against agricultural pests may represent at least one active agent of a commercially known pesticide. A further aspect of the invention relates to a method for protecting plants against plant pathogens comprising the application of the above agricultural pesticide compositions.

Abstract: Antiseptic compounds that act as persistent and fast acting antiseptics and disinfectants. The base of these antiseptic actions is CaF2 as the persistent part, preventing the colonization of tissue and nonliving surfaces with microorganisms through the targeted on-demand release of fluorine ions. For fighting heavy contamination and invasion of transient microbes through new application of the solution, fast acting alcohols and toxic solutions have been added in small percentage. They act fast and evaporate fast, leaving the natural protection of skin undamaged and coated with a persistent antiseptic.
