ABSTRACT:
Compositions comprising urea peroxide are effective for treating plants for fungal, bacterial, and viral infections and for infestations of mites and insects. The compositions reduce populations of ice nucleating bacteria on plants, thus protecting the plants from frost damage. The compositions are applied to the aerial portions of plants, e.g., leaves, flowers, fruits, stems, branches, vines, and trunks.
