Food protecting agent composition having a pH of between 5.5 and 7.5 containing at least 2000 mg / l, preferably at least 1800 mg / l of a combination food protecting agent and guanidinium derivatives, particularly to combinations of oligo(2-(2-ethoxy)ethoxy ethyl
guanidinium chloride), poly(hexamethylendiamine
guanidinium chloride), polyetheramines, triethyleneglycol
diamine, enzymes, PGPR, amino acids, antioxidants such as humic acids and some natural products like phytotherapeutic
plant extracts.The purpose of any pre-harvest
plant protection program for fruit, cutflowers and vegetables (fruit and vegetables are selected from cereals, e.g. wheat, barley, rye, oats, rice,
sorghum and the like; beets, e.g.
sugar beet and
fodder beet;
pome and stone fruit and berries, e.g. apples, pears, plums, peaches, almonds, cherries, strawberries, raspberries and blackber leguminous plants, e.g. beans, lentils, peas, soy beans; oleaginous plants, e.g. rape, mustard,
poppy, olive,
sunflower, coconut, castor-oil
plant, cocoa, ground-nuts;
cucurbitaceae, e.g. pumpkins, gherkins, melons, cucumbers, squashes; fibrous plants, e.g. cotton, flax, hemp, jute;
citrus fruit, e.g. orange, lemon, grapefruit, mandarin;
tropical fruit, e.g. papaya,
passion fruit, mango, carambola, pineapple, banana; vegetables, e.g.
spinach, lettuce,
asparagus,
brassicaceae such as cabbages and turnips, carrots, onions, tomatoes, potatoes, hot and
sweet peppers; laurel-like plants, e.g. avocado, cinnamon,
camphor tree; or plants such as maize, tobacco, nuts, coffee,
sugar-
cane, tea, grapevines, hops, rubber plants, as well as ornamental plants, e.g. cutflowers, roses,
gerbera and flower bulbs, shrubs, deciduous trees and
evergreen trees such as conifers) is to prevent the development of diseases that might impair the final quality of the fruit, cutflowers and vegetables and to obtain adequate production yields. The
system for post-harvest application of plant protection products on fruit, cutflowers and vegetables during packing aims to safeguard the health of the fruit and vegetables during the period of storage and transport to the final
consumer. Since, moreover, the environmental and economic requirements imposed on modern-day fungicides are continually increasing, with regard, for example, to the spectrum of activity,
toxicity, selectivity, application rate, formation of residues, and favorable preparation ability, and since, furthermore, there may be problems, for example, with resistances developing to known active compounds, a constant task is to develop new
fungicide agents which in some areas at least have advantages over their known counterparts. Therefore, there is still a need to find and / or develop other bacterial, viral and fungicides for storage
disease control. Some of the chemical as such are already known. It is also known, that these compounds can be used as more healthy and applicable material.
