phosphites have shown effectiveness in controlling a variety of plant diseases, in particular, treatment using either trunk injection or foliar containing phosphorous acid salts is indicated in response to infections by "phytophthora" and "pythium"-type plant pathogens (both within class "oomycetes", known as water molds), such as dieback/root rot and downy mildew. anti-microbial products containing salts of phosphorous acid are marketed in australia as 'yates anti-rot'; and in the united states of america, for example, aluminum salts of the monoethyl ester of phosphorous acid (known generically as 'fosetyl-al') are sold under the trade name 'aliette' and potassium salts of phosphorous acid (known generically as potassium phosphite) are sold under the trade name prophyt. phosphorous acid and its salts, unlike phosphoric acid, are somewhat toxic and should be handled carefully.
