The present invention provides cellular solid carriers comprising viable microorganisms capable of controlling plant pathogens. The cellular solid carriers are formed from water-soluble hydrocolloid beads dried under conditions which preserve their porosity, thereby allowing efficient release of microorganisms or diffusion of products derived from the microorganisms from the beads to the surrounding environment.

Porous freeze-dried hydrocolloid beads containing viable microorganisms for biological control

Transgenic pathogen-resistant organism whose genome contains at least two different genes under the control of active promoters with pathogen-inhibiting action. This organism is distinguished by a synergistic pathogen-inhibiting action. This action is evident particularly when the genes code for the gene products chitinase (ChiS, ChiG), glucanase (GluG), protein synthesis inhibitor (PSI) and antifungal protein (AFP).

Transgenic pathogen-resistant organism whose genome contains at least two different genes under the control of active promoters with pathogen-inhibiting action. This organism is distinguished by a synergistic pathogen-inhibiting action. This action is evident particularly when the genes code for the gene products chitinese (ChiS, ChiG), glucanase (GluG), protein synthesis inhibitor (PSI) and antifungal protein (AFR).

Method for obtaining strains of trichoderma species

Methods and compositions or enhancing metal uptake of plants, such as members of the family Brassicaceae, comprise treating the roots, plants, seeds, and/or soil in which the plants are grown, with metal-uptake altering microorganisms, preferably of the bacterial genus Pseudomonas and Bacillus.

Microbial isolates promote phytoremediation

The present invention relates to a novel biologically pure culture of Triderma Harzianum, I-952, to biological control compositions containing same and to methods of protecting flowering plants and fruits from the disease gray mold, caused by B. Cinerea and the disease white rot caused by S. Sclerotiorum with the compositions.

Isolate of Trichoderma harzianum I-952 fungicidal compositions

The present invention relates to a novel biologically pure culture of Triderma Harzianum, I-952, to biological control compositions containing same and to methods of protecting plants from the disease gray mold, caused by B. Cinera and the disease white rot caused by S. Sclerotiorum with such compositions.

Isolate of trichoderma fungicidal compositions containing said isolate

Microorganisms isolated from soil enriched with chitin or collagen were found to be very effective in controlling soil nematodes, probably by destroying their eggs or egg-shells. Pure culture of such microorganisms were prepared. These microorganisms are formulated into solid or liquid nematicidal compositions and as such used for combating soil-nematode infestations.

Nematicidal strain of pseudomonas and its use as a biocontrol agent

A biological control agent comprising the mycoparasite Trichoderma harzianum T-315 (ATCC No. 20671), which is characterized by fungicidal activity against fungi of the genera Pythium, Rhizoctonia, Sclerotium and Fusarium. This strain is useful for controlling damping-off, root-rot, crown-rot and neck-rot in seedling crops. This strain is also resistant to chemical pesticides and soil-sterilants and useful for integrated biological and chemical control of soil-borne pathogens.

Novel isolate of trichoderma, fungicidal compositions containing said

A biological control agent comprising the antifungal agent Trichoderma harzianum T-35 (ATCC No. 20691), which is characterized by antifungal activity against fungi of the genus Fusarium. This strain is useful for protecting most crops affected by the fungus Fusarium spp. and is more active than other previously disclosed strains. Biocontrol compositions containing T. harzianum T-35 (ATCC No. 20691) provide antifungal protection to a broad spectrum of plants, including wheat, cotton, melons and tomatoes.

Antifungal compositions containing trichoderma active against fusarium

A biological control agent comprising the mycoparasite Trichoderma harzia T-315 (ATCC No. 20671), which is characterized by fungicidal activity against fungi of the genera Pythium, Phizoctonia, Sclerotium and Fusarium. This strain is useful for controlling damping-off, root-rot, crown-rot and neck-rot in seedling crops. This strain is also resistant to chemical pesticides and soil-sterilants and useful for integrated biological and chemical control of soil-borne pathogens.
