Disclosed are novel azide compositions comprised of one or more azides in combination with one or more metal salts. The azides are hydrazoic acid, alkali metal azides, or alkaline earth metal azides and the metal salts are fluorides, bromides, chlorides, carbonates, sulfates, phosphates, nitrates, hydroxides, oxides, formates, acetates, propionates, oxalates, malates, citrates, butyrates, lactates, or tartrates of the metal ions: iron, aluminum, nickel, manganese (II), cobalt (II), zinc, tin (II), or magnesium. These compositions exhibit useful agricultural properties and are used to control plant pests such as pathogenic fungi, or nemas by applying the composition to the region where the pests reside.

A composition suitable for agriculture which is a physical mixture having the property of dissolving in a suitable solvent to form a solution, said composition comprised of granules of an azide and granules of a metal salt; said azide being selected from the group consisting of alkaline earth metal azide, alkali metal azide, and mixtures thereof, and said metal salt being selected from the group consisting of metal salts having a metal ion selected from the group consisting of aluminum, iron (II), cobalt (II), nickel, tin (II), magnesium, zinc, and manganese (II), and an anion selected from the group consisting of bromide, chloride, fluoride, carbonate, hydroxide, phosphate, sulfate, formate, acetate, prOpionate, butyrate, oxalate, citrate, malate, lactate, and tartrate; the respective amounts of said axide granules and said metal salt granules in the mixture being such that when said mixture is dissolved in said solvent to form the solution, there exists in the solution a ratio of mole equivalents of azide ion to mole equivalents of metal ion within the range of 0.1 to 8.0 and said solution having the property that it is less phytotoxic than a solution having the same amount of azide ion but none of the metal salt therein; and said composition being substantially free from substances which decompose the azide.
