Abstract: The subject invention provides materials and methods for the control of pests, including fungi, oomycetes, nematodes, and weeds, of numerous crops, plants and forests. Advantageously, pests in the soil can be controlled without phytotoxicity. In certain embodiments, the subject invention provides new pesticidal compositions. In preferred embodiments, these compositions comprise an active ingredient component that is formic acid and/or acetic acid, and/or salts thereof. The composition further comprises a second acidic component that enhances the pesticidal activity of the first active ingredient component.

Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods for amending the availability of phosphate and other nutrient supplies in soil, especially acidic sandy soils, while ensuring reduced leaching and/or surface runoff of phosphorous and other nutrients. Compositions of the invention comprise granulated dolomite phosphate rock in combination with organic materials, wherein the level and rate of phosphorous and other nutrients released from the composition is controlled. Use of the compositions of the invention increases the availability of phosphorous and other nutrients while eliminating soil acidity, and also stimulates plant growth, enhances plant vigor, and/or improves crop yield.
