Potentiation of fixed coppers and other pesticides containing copper and supplementing plant nutrition
First Claim
1. A method for controlling pests wherein said pests is at least one fungus in a plant and said method comprisesapplying to said at least one fungus or its growth habitat where said fungus is to be present a fungicidal composition comprising,a) at least one biologically inert carrier;
- andb) 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 compounds, zinc compounds and combinations thereof,said at least one doped component is incorporated into the structure of said fixed copper compound;
said method comprising applying said fungicidal composition in an effective amount for treating fungal diseases in plants,wherein said iron compound is an insoluble or substantially insoluble iron compound;
wherein said iron compound is selected from the group consisting of iron hydroxide, iron oxyhydroxide, iron oxide, iron glucose, ferric citrate, Ferritin, ferrous fumarate, ferrous sulfate, and iron saturated human holotransferrin.

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.
