Silicosis (previously miner's phthisis, grinder's asthma, potter's rot and other occupation-related names) is a form of occupational lung disease caused by inhalation of crystalline silica dust, and is marked by inflammation and scarring in the form of nodular lesions in the upper lobes of the lungs.ulmonary complications of silicosis also include Chronic Bronchitis and airflow limitation (indistinguishable from that caused by smoking), non-tuberculous Mycobacterium infection, fungal lung infection, compensatory emphysema, and pneumothorax.
Abstract. Urea Phosphite is a new composition of matter useful as a fertilizer and as a fungicide. It is made by reacting phosphorous acid with urea. Urea Phosphite is characterized by being a liquid produced in an unprocessed reaction, and by having phosphite as a phosphorus source and urea as a nitrogen source...his fertilizer and/or fungicide is characterized by being a liquid produced in an unprocessed reaction, and by having phosphite as a phosphorus source and urea as a nitrogen source. The present invention generally relates to a new composition of matter and to uses for that composition.
Phosphonate fungicides and fertilizers are absorbed by plants and incorporated into cells as phosphite ions (H 2 PO 3 -). The fact that this ion has one less oxygen atom than phosphate means that it does not act in the same manner as phosphate in plants.hipco Signature is also labeled for the control of anthracnose and bentgrass dead spot diseases when combined with one of several fungicides listed on the label (2). During the mid 1990s, potassium phosphite products entered the turfgrass market and gained popularity as fungicides and fertilizers.
