A biocide contains a hydrogen peroxide producing compound, in combination with controlled amounts of a chelating agent and a peroxide enhancing agent. In one embodiment, the composition can be used to control an algae population in a water body. The chelating agent and the peroxide enhancing agent synergistically combine with the hydrogen peroxide producing compound to increase the potency and effectiveness of the oxidizer.

Solid aquatic organism control composition and method of use

A plant or algae control composition is disclosed. The composition contains a herbicide and/or algaecide adsorbed onto a solid carrier. The composition may comprise a free-flowing granular product. The solid carrier contains a mixture of different clay materials. Two different clay materials are combined that synergistically mix together to allow for greater amounts of the herbicide or algaecide to be adsorbed onto the particles. The composition is particularly well suited for treating aquatic environments.

Granular plant control composition

A plant or algae control composition is disclosed. The composition contains a herbicide and/or algaecide combined with an amplifying agent. The amplifying agent may comprise a polypeptide, such as a protein. The amplifying agent is added in an amount sufficient for the efficacy of the herbicide and/or algaecide to be improved. For instance, the presence of the amplifying agent allows for the herbicide and/or algaecide to be used at lower concentrations but have the same potency.
