Abstract: A fungicidal composition and method for the protection of vines against disease are provided. The composition which is applied to vines contains as active material a mixture of 1 part by weight of a monoester salt of a phosphorous acid of the formula ##STR1## in which R is an alkyl radical having 2 to 4 carbon atomsMe is an alkali metal, alkaline earth, or aluminum atomn is a whole number from 1 to 3 equal to the valence of Meand from 0.05 to 8 parts of at least one contact fungicide selected from the group consisting of compounds having a base of copper, the metallic ethylene bisdithiocarbamates, and the derivatives of phthalimide.

Abstract: Formulations or products are caused to be active antimicrobials by the addition thereto of at least one effective amount of at least one crystalline mixed metal hydroxide (MMOH) conforming substantially to the formulaLi.sub.m D.sub.d T(OH) (m+2d+3+na) (A.sup.n).sub.a.xH.sub.2 Owhere m is zero to one, D is a divalent metal, d is from zero to 4, T is a trivalent metal, A represents at least one anion or negative-valence radical, (m+2d+3+na) is equal or to greater than 3, (m+d) is greater than zero, and xH.sub.2 O represents excess waters of hydration. The MMOH forms an adduct with, an coats, the microbes, thereby deactivating the microbes.
