  • Patent number: 10390535
    Abstract: Compositions are provided that include a new Bacillus thuringiensis strain designated RTI545 for use in benefiting plant growth and controlling plant pests. In particular, the RTI545 strain is useful for controlling plant nematode, insect and fungal pests. The compositions include plant seeds coated with the RTI545 strain. The compositions can be applied alone or in combination with other microbial, biological, or chemical insecticides, fungicides, nematicides, bacteriocides, herbicides, plant extracts, plant growth regulators, or fertilizers. In one example, enhanced growth and insect control are provided by delivering at the time of planting a combination of a chemical insecticide such as bifenthrin and a liquid fertilizer to plants or seeds treated with RTI545.

  • Patent number: 10375964
    Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided for a combination of a new strain of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens RTI301 and a new strain of Bacillus subtilis RTI477, the combination having growth promoting activity and activity against plant pathogens. The compositions containing the RTI301 and RTI477 strains are useful for benefiting plant growth and/or conferring protection against a pathogenic infection when applied to plant roots, seeds, callus tissue, grafts, and cuttings. Synergistic results are observed for the combination of the strains, and the combination of strains is useful to increase yield in crops including soybean and corn. The compositions containing the combination of strains can be applied alone or in combination with other microbial, biological, or chemical insecticides, fungicides, nematicides, bacteriocides, herbicides, plant extracts, plant growth regulators, and fertilizers.

  • Publication number: 20190191707
    Abstract: Compositions and methods include a combination of a strain of Bacillus licheniformis CH200 and a strain of Bacillus subtilis CH201 for delivery to plants and plant seeds, the combination having activity against plant fungal pathogens. In particular, the combination of strains is useful for increasing yield in crops including soybean and corn in the presence of plant pathogens. The Bacillus licheniformis CH200 and Bacillus subtilis CH201 strains can be applied alone or in combination with other microbial, biological, or chemical insecticides, fungicides, nematicides, bacteriocides, herbicides, plant extracts, plant growth regulators, and fertilizers.

  • Patent number: 5720801
    Abstract: A leach resistant ink composition including a diphenyl guanidine compound, an acid, and a resin. The ink composition may further include a glycol and an alcohol and can be printed on paper, such as, for example, in the word "VOID". If bleach is used to attempt to alter the document, the initially colorless ink will form a colored image in the shapes or letters printed on the paper. The ink composition is resistant to leaching upon contact with, for example, water. The presence of the acid enables the security composition to be invisible by preventing or minimizing undesirable reactions with chemically sensitive paper.
