Plant resistance induction is one of the most promising ways to support plants in fights against pathogens, especially viruses, due fact there are no plant protection agents acting directly on them. Certain chemicals, including benzo[1.2.3]thiadiazole-7-carbothioic acid, S-methyl ester (BTH) and its derivatives, were discovered as effective inducers immunity. In this article, new BTH form organic salts composed cations based inducer anions introduced order modify physical (solubility water, dissolution rate, thermal stability, melting points, pKa logP values), biological (antibacterial) properties presented. The resulting altered by, for example, changing water solubility also through introduction a second ion with function (bacteriostatic bactericidal Gram-positive Gram-negative bacteria). major impact approach may have that synthetic (used very low dosages) future become an alternative pesticides commonly used large amounts, thus significantly reducing use harmful chemicals agriculture their negative environment human health.
