An aqueous formulation for treating insects and fungal diseases on plants includes effective amounts of an HOCl-containing electrolyzed oxygenated aqueous solution, one or both of a food grade diatomaceous earth and a clinoptilolite zeolite, and one or more of a sodium magnesium fluorosilicate and a bentonite clay. The formulation, which is non-toxic to humans and pets, can be sprayed on the plants to kill insects and fungi and has a long dwell time to improve the effectiveness of the components of the formulation against insects and fungi. In particular, the formulation will kill bacteria, virus, mold, fungi, and may be used on food crops. The formulation also may be used as a plant and foliar cleaner and/or the formulation can be used to treat skin of a person to improve skin health. |
