Abstract:
Fungal diseases and resulting mycotoxins are reduced or eliminated from plant tissues during crop growth or post-harvest during storage by treatment with an aqueous spray solution prepared from a fungicide composition of a bicarbonate salt containing a surfactant system to reduce the surface tension and contact angle of the spray solution on the plant surface thereby controlling the crystal size of the bicarbonate and re-distribution and adherence of the crystals to the crop vegetation and/or grains.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for treatment of crop vegetation to control, reduce or eliminate mycotoxins comprising:\n applying to the crop vegetation from 0.5 to 10 kilograms per hectare, an aqueous spray solution of a fungicide composition comprising a bicarbonate salt and a surfactant system which when applied to the crop vegetation results in crystals of the bicarbonate salt on a plant surface of the crop vegetation of a particle size of less than 0.4 mm upon evaporation of water of the aqueous spray solution; and wherein the surfactant system acts as a dispersant and controls the particle size of the crystals of the bicarbonate salt and as a spreader and sticker to distribute the aqueous spray solution and the bicarbonate salt crystals that derive therefrom across the plant surface of the crop vegetation.
