Abstract: The present invention relates to novel strains of Bacillus and methods of their use for enhancing the growth, promoting plant health or controlling diseases or pests of a plant.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition comprising at least one biological control agent selected from the group consisting of Bacillus subtilis var. amyloliquefaciens FZB24 and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens FZB42, 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 that exhibits activity against insects, mites, nematodes and/or phytopathogens and at least one insecticide in a synergistically effective amount, with the proviso that the biological control agent and the insecticide are not identical. Furthermore, the present invention relates to the use of this composition as well as a method for reducing overall damage of plants and plant parts.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for using a Bacillus strain as a nematicide and related compositions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel strains of Streptomyces microflavus and methods of their use for controlling diseases or pests of a plant. The invention also relates to a fermentation broth obtained by cultivating a gougerotin producing Streptomyces strain, wherein the fermentation broth contains at least about 2 g/L gougerotin. The invention also relates to a method of producing a fermentation broth of a gougerotin producing Streptomyces strain, wherein the fermentation broth contains at least about 2 g/L gougerotin, the method comprising cultivating the Streptomyces strain in a culture medium containing a digestible carbon source and a digestible nitrogen source under aerobic conditions.

Furthermore, the present invention relates to the use of this composition as well as a method for reducing overall damage of plants and plant parts.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the control of fungal pathogens, such as pathogens that cause sudden death syndrome, in plants by applying one or more polyene fungicides to a plant seed, soil and/or plant roots.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel compounds and compositions and the use of them for the control of fungal and bacterial pathogens, insect pests, acari, nematodes and other invertebrate pests including, but not limited to post-harvest and soil diseases, building mold remediation, and seed and grain sanitation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel strains of Streptomyces microflavus and methods of their use for controlling diseases or pests of a plant. The invention also relates to a fermentation broth obtained by cultivating a gougerotin producing Streptomyces strain, wherein the fermentation broth contains at least about 1 g/L gougerotin. The invention also relates to a method of producing a fermentation broth of a gougerotin producing Streptomyces strain, wherein the fermentation broth contains at least about 1 g/L gougerotin, the method comprising cultivating the Streptomyces strain in a culture medium containing a digestible carbon source and a digestible nitrogen source under aerobic conditions, wherein the culture medium contains an amino acid at a concentration effective to achieve a gougerotin concentration of at least 1 g/L.
