It was found that sodium bicarbonate has a fungicidal activity and at the same time that the compound has a defect as a fungicide in that it is inferior in adhesiveness and spreadability and for this reason cannot be used alone as a fungicide. It is further found that an agricultural and horticultural fungicide having lasting fungicidal activity against plant diseases in a control value of over 90% can be obtained by using sodium bicarbonate in combination with a surfactant, particularly a food emulsifier, and further that the combination shows extensive effect in preventing fruit storage diseases. As all components of the combination are substances approved as food additives throughout the world, the fungicide does not cause pollution or present any hazard to human health.

Agricultural and horticultural fungicide and fruit storage disease

The present invention refers to novel antibiotics, Bacileucines A and B and use thereof, which are effective as agricultural and horticultural fungicides. Bacileucines A and B are produced from the microorganism belonged to Genus Bacillus and are characterized by that they have no phytotoxicity of plant and no adverse effect on the human body, have an excellent control effect on diseases of plants such as rice plant, vegetables and green plants and cause no pollution on the environment.

Antibiotics Bacileucines A and B and process for production and use

The present invention provides a novel horticultural and agricultural fungicidal composition which contains as an effective component a 2H-chromene-2-spiro-3'-phthalide derivative and a method for killing fungus on plants.

2H-Chromene-2-spiro-3'-phthalides useful as horticultural and

Fungicidal compositions for agricultural and horticultural use which contain as an active ingredient one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of tartaric acid, oxalic acid, fumaric acid, citric acid, alkali metal salts of these organic acids, ferric citrate, ferric lactate, glycerine, aluminum chloride and esters formed between sugar and higher fatty acids having 8 to 18 carbon atoms. These compositions exhibit excellent protective effects against attack by plant disease fungi, bacteria or virus and have no phytotoxicity and no mammalian toxicity and present no risk of causing the pollution of soil, human, cattle and poultry. The protective effects of these active ingredients are greatly enhanced when they are applied to plants in combination with a phosphatide. And a method for protecting plants by the use thereof.

Fungicidal compositions and method for protecting plants by the use

N-Higher aliphatic amino acids, lowe-alkyl esters thereof and their salts are useful for controlling numerous plant diseases. They exhibit excellent protective effect rather than curative effect and have no phytotoxicity, extremely low mammalian toxicity and cause no risk of pollution toward soils.
