Abstract: In the field of agriculture, organisms that are harmful to vegetation are a major problem in relation to the productivity of harvests. The present invention relates to a fermentation product obtained from endophytic fungi of the Stemphylium solani family, which may comprise a novel compound of formula (I) and a second known compound of formula (II), and having biocidal activity simultaneously against more than one category of harmful organisms affecting plants, and which are preferably selected from insect-pests, fungi and nematodes. Both the fermentation product, and the compounds included in the scope of the invention, are used in the preparation of a broad-spectrum biocidal composition. Finally, the invention also includes the process for preparing of the fermentation product and the new compound of formula (I).

Abstract: The present invention describes the isolation and characterization of the novel biopesticide compositions and/or biopesticide formulations obtained from Eucalyptus species capable of serving as effective biocontrol agents and/or pest control management agents. The invention focuses on the isolation of these biopesticide compositions and formulations that are known to possess pesticidal properties and are derived from natural sources having biological origin. The invention more particularly describes the isolation and characterization, including but not confined to, novel biopesticide compositions possessing pesticidal attributes along with other pharmaceutically important attributes so as to also function as effective biocontrol agents.
