First Claim
1. A method for the control of said Black Sigatoka disease, Yellow Sigatoka disease and Panama disease in the banana plants afflicted with said disease, comprising;
- applying to said banana plants a pesticide composition comprising;
a) at least one biologically inert carrier; and
b) at least one ferrite selected from the group consisting of copper zinc iron oxide, copper iron oxide and zinc iron oxide and any combination thereof; and
c) optionally at least one doped component comprising at least one fixed copper compound doped with at least one dopant compound selected from the group consisting of iron compounds, zinc compounds and combination thereof.

Abstract
A pesticide composition includes at least one biologically inert carrier; and at least one ferrite or at least one doped component including at least one fixed copper compound doped with at least one compound selected from the group consisting of iron compounds, zinc compounds, magnesium compounds, calcium compounds, and combinations and/or mixtures thereof. In one embodiment, the doped component has a particle size of about 0.5 nm to about 30 microns. A method for the control of pests includes the step of applying to the pests or their growth habitat the aforementioned composition. The method also includes the control of fungal and other diseases in banana plants, by applying the aforementioned composition to their growth habitat in banana plant groves.
