Silicon nitride compositions for inactivating pathogens on plants
The granted patent US12017912B2 outlines a plant treatment composition designed to inactivate plant pathogens, specifically targeting fungi such as Plasmopara viticola. The primary active ingredient in this composition is silicon nitride, which is combined with water to form a slurry. The claims specify that the concentration of silicon nitride can range from approximately 1 vol. % to 30 vol. %, with specific claims detailing concentrations of 1.5 vol. % and a broader range of 5 vol. % to 30 vol. %. The composition is noted for its effectiveness in treating or preventing fungal infections on plants, particularly grape varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon and Cannonau.
Additionally, the patent includes variations of the composition, emphasizing the efficacy of silicon nitride in inactivating pathogens at lower concentrations, specifically between 1 vol. % and 5 vol. %. The claims reiterate the importance of silicon nitride in the formulation, highlighting its role in reducing pathogen presence on treated plants. The detailed claims provide a comprehensive framework for the application of this composition in agricultural practices, focusing on its potential benefits in managing plant health and disease resistance.
