Abstract
The invention is a method for controlling growth of spores of specific fungi to the vegetative state by introducing a salt of formic acid to an aqueous system forming a mixture, applying the mixture to a surface where fungal spore growth control is desired, and drying the surface with the mixture disposed thereon, thereby forming an ionic lattice on the surface that prevents fungal spore growth to a vegetative state.
