Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of a combination comprising at least one host defense inducer and at least one biological control agent in a synergistically effective amount for controlling bacterial harmful organisms in useful plants. The biological control agent is selected from specific microorganisms and/or a mutant of these strains having all the identifying characteristics of the respective strain, and/or a metabolite produced by the respective strain. In a preferred aspect of the invention the host defense inducer is isotianil or a combination of isotianil and acibenzolar-S-methyl. The present invention also relates to a method for controlling bacterial harmful organisms in useful plants by treatment with a combination comprising at least one host defense inducer and at least one biological control agent in a synergistically effective amount.
