metal iodate based energetic composites and their combustion and biocidal performance
ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2015Co-Authors: H. Wang, G. Jian, W. Zhou, J. B. Delisio, V. T. Lee, M. R. ZachariahAbstract:The biological agents that can be weaponized, such as Bacillus anthracis, pose a considerable potential public threat. Bacterial spores, in particular, are highly stress resistant and cannot be completely neutralized by common Bactericides. This paper reports on synthesis of metal iodate-based aluminized electrospray-assembled nanocomposites which neutralize spores through a combined thermal and chemical mechanism. Here metal iodates (Bi(IO3)3, Cu(IO3)2, and Fe(IO3)3) act as a strong oxidizer to nanoaluminum to yield a very exothermic and violent reaction, and simultaneously generate iodine as a long-lived Bactericide. These microparticle-assembled nanocomposites when characterized in terms of reaction times and temporal pressure release show significantly improved reactivity. Furthermore, sporicidal performance superior to conventional metal-oxide-based thermites clearly shows the advantages of combining both a thermal and biocidal mechanism in spore neutralization.

management of xanthomonas leaf blight of onion with a plant activator biological control agents and copper Bactericides
Plant Disease, 2005Co-Authors: David H Gent, Howard F. SchwartzAbstract:Gent, D. H., and Schwartz, H. F. 2005. Management of Xanthomonas leaf blight of onion with a plant activator, biological control agents, and copper Bactericides. Plant Dis. 89:631-639. Xanthomonas leaf blight (Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. allii) is a yield-limiting disease of onion (Allium cepa) in the western United States. Frequent applications of copper-based Bactericides amended with an ethylenebisdithiocarbamate fungicide (e.g., maneb or mancozeb, class B2 carcinogens) provide some disease suppression, but strategies to reduce conventional Bactericide use are needed to minimize grower costs, environmental impact, and public exposure to class B2 pesticides. Applications of acibenzolar-S-methyl reduced in planta and epiphytic populations of X. axonopodis pv. allii as effectively as applications of copper hydroxide-mancozeb in growth chamber studies. Under field conditions, four weekly applications of acibenzolar-S-methyl reduced severity of Xanthomonas leaf blight as or more effectively than 9 to 12 weekly applications of copper hydroxide or copper hydroxide-mancozeb. Acibenzolar-S-methyl applications did not increase bulb yield or grade compared with copper Bactericide treatments. However, bulb yield was reduced 22 to 27% when 10 weekly applications of acibenzolar-S-methyl were made in the absence of disease. Application of a commercial formulation of both Pantoea agglomerans strain C9-1 and Pseudomonas fluorescens strain A506 reduced severity of Xanthomonas leaf blight in field experiments. Weekly copper hydroxide applications starting 1 to 2 weeks before bulb initiation were as effective as weekly applications started 3 to 4 weeks before bulb initiation, irrespective of the maneb rate used. Integration of acibenzolar-S-methyl and biological control agents with copper hydroxide in a carefully timed spray program may eliminate the use of the class B2 carcinogens maneb and mancozeb on onion without compromising efficacy for management of Xanthomonas leaf blight.

Epiphytic Pseudomonas syringae on Dry Beans Treated with Copper-Based Bactericides
Plant disease, 1998Co-Authors: K A Garrett, Howard F. SchwartzAbstract:The response of epiphytic populations of Pseudomonas syringae and other bacteria on dry bean plants to four copper-based Bactericides was evaluated. The Bactericides showed little difference in efficacy, but epiphytic populations on pinto bean leaflets, flowers, and pods were occasionally reduced when compared to populations on non-treated control plants, especially after repeated Bactericide applications. Although there was a trend toward a relationship between epiphytic leaflet and flower populations, there were cases where P. syringae was undetected on one organ but abundant in samples from the other organ. P. syringae pv. syringae strains recovered from epiphytic populations demonstrated much greater copper resistance than did strains of P. syringae pv. phaseolicola, as measured by growth on media amended with cupric hydroxide. This difference between the pathovars may have implications for integrated pest management strategies.
