Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing a composite fermentation substrate comprising a) Mixing of at least one thermoplastic with a starch containing, organic, granular or powdery, non-liquifiable growth medium; and b) Melt extruding the mixture obtained from a) into a desired shape. Furthermore, the invention relates to composite substrates produced according to the present method and a method for producing a microorganism, comprising (a) Providing a composite substrate according to the invention, (b) Inoculating the composite substrate with a microorganism to be cultivated; and (c) Incubating the composite substrate obtained from step (b) under controlled conditions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a liquid preparation comprising at least one ethoxylated and/or propoxylated organic liquid as defined and fungal spores and a method for controlling phytopathogenic fungi, insects and/or nematodes in or on a plant, for enhancing growth of a plant or for increasing plant yield or root health comprising applying an effective amount of the liquid preparation or the liquid composition according to the invention to said plant or to a locus where plants are growing or intended to be grown.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a liquid preparation comprising at least one carboxylic ester as defined and fungal spores and a method for controlling phytopathogenic fungi, insects and/or nematodes in or on a plant, for enhancing growth of a plant or for increasing plant yield or root health comprising applying an effective amount of the liquid preparation or the liquid composition according to the invention to said plant or to a locus where plants are growing or intended to be grown.

Abstract: The present invention relates to formulation for fungal spores which increases storage stability of said fungal spores comprising a liquid water-soluble formulation comprising fungal spores, at least one plant oil, at least one antioxidant and optionally at least one rheology-modifying agent. Further, the invention relates to a method for controlling phytopathogenic fungi, insects and/or nematodes in or on a plant, for enhancing growth of a plant or for increasing plant yield or root health comprising applying an effective amount of the present formulation.
