Abstract: Combinations, compositions and methods of use for modulating plant pathogen infection using plant extracts containing anthraquinone derivatives which induce resistance to plant phytopathogens and an antimicrobial agent, a biological control agent and/or a surfactant having fungicidal activity.

Abstract: Provided are bioactive compounds and metabolites derived from Chromobacterium species culture responsible for controlling pests, compositions containing these compounds, methods for obtaining these compounds and methods of using these compounds and compositions for controlling pests.

Abstract: There is a need for a selective, low-risk herbicide that can be used to control weeds in cereal cultures and turf. The present invention discloses that a bacterial secondary metabolite, thaxtomin and optionally another herbicide is an effective herbicide on broadleaved, sedge and grass weeds. Thaxtomin A and structurally similar compounds can be used as natural herbicides to control the germination and growth of weeds in cereal, turf grass, Timothy grass and pasture grass cultures with no phytotoxicity to these crops. As a natural, non-toxic compound, thaxtomin can be used as a safe alternative for weed control in both conventional and organic farming and gardening systems.

Abstract: A species of Burkholderia sp with no known pathogenicity to vertebrates but with pesticidal activity (e.g., plants, insects, fungi, weeds and nematodes) is provided. Also provided are natural products derived from a culture of said species and methods of controlling pests using said natural products.

Abstract: A species of Burkholderia sp with no known pathogenicity to vertebrates but with pesticidal activity (e.g., plants, algae, arachnids, insects, fungi, weeds and nematodes) as well as methods for controlling algae using said species of Burkholderia. Also provided are natural products derived from a culture of said species and methods of controlling algae and/or arachnids using said natural products.

Abstract: The present invention discloses that, propionic acid or salt thereof, is an effective pre-emergent and post-emergent herbicide. Propionic acid biodegrades first to acetic and formic acids and then to carbon dioxide and water thus posing not threat the environment. Propionic acid is less caustic and corrosive than formic acid, and with proper formulation and the use of respiratory protection, it poses no threat to the applicator. Propionic acid is demonstrated in this invention to control both monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants.
