A method for treating diseased plants, such as turf and trees, includes mixing a quantity of a plant remediation composition with water and applying the plant remediation composition to the diseased plants. The plant remediation composition may include from about 70 up to about 90 volume percent of a potassium silicate, up to 10 volume percent of a sodium silicate, from about 0.25 to about 3.0 volume percent of a surfactant, from about 0.25 to about 3.0 volume percent of a polyol, and the remaining volume percent water. The plant remediation composition may be used to treat plant molds, bacteria and fungi, such as Anthracnose, Fairy Ring, Brown Patch, Dollar Spot, and Snow Mold, and may also be used to prevent and remediate insect infestations.

A memory resource allocation look ahead system is implemented in event logger (14), operating in conjunction with one or more event sinks (18). When the event logger (14) is called, all information in the argument fist is copied into an event buffer maintained by the logger (14), and the buffer is placed at the input end of queue (44). The event sinks 18 contain a similar queue. In operation of the event logger 14, an evd.sub.-- get.sub.-- event routine is used to obtain event reports from the event queue (44). The evd.sub.-- get.sub.-- event routine includes a next.sub.-- size.sub.-- hint argument, giving the size of the event record that will be obtained with the next call to evd.sub.-- get.sub.-- event. The next.sub.-- size.sub.-- hint argument is used to allocate memory for the next call to evd.sub.-- get.sub.-- event.

Memory resource allocation look ahead system and method

In a data processing system a structure (50) called an I/O association is constructed. An I/O association (50) is a symmetric structure which allows not only consumer (52) of a service to locate the provider (54) of the service, but it also permits the converse. In some respects, an I/O channel (32) is only half of an association (50). The association (50) describes a targeted object (56) and provides the means (57) of locating the necessary procedures to operate on the target (56). The association (50) also describes a source object (58) that is held responsible for the requested operation, as well as the means (60) of locating and invoking procedures to report results to the source object (58).
