Potentiation of fixed coppers and other pesticides containing copper and supplementing plant nutrition
First Claim
1. A method for control of at least one agricultural crop disease carrying pest in an agricultural crop plant afflicted with agricultural plant disease comprising:
- applying to said at least one agricultural plant disease pest or its growth habitat where the disease is to be present a pesticide composition, comprising;
a) at least one biologically inert carrier; and
b) at least one doped component comprising at least one fixed copper compound doped with at least one compound selected from the group consisting of iron dopant compounds, zinc dopant compounds and combinations thereof;
wherein the dopant is incorporated into the structure of the at least one fixed copper compound.

Abstract
A pesticide, fungicidal, bactericidal, anti-pathogen or biocidal composition includes at least one biologically inert carrier; and 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 disease in citrus plants caused by vectors such as Psyllid nymphs, by applying the aforementioned composition to their growth habitat in citrus groves.
