Products are provided that improve overall plant vigor and yield by combining agriculturally effective amounts of at least one spore-forming bacterium and at least one optional insect control agent to a genetically modified plant, plant part, or seed. This product is particularly effective in the presence of plant parasitic nematode and fungal species. Use of the product leads to an overall reduction in crop losses caused by either plant parasitic nematodes or fungi and this reduction is much greater than using genetically modified seed with just an insect control agent. According to some embodiments, the use of the product results in about a 2%-10% increase in soybean bushel yield, 3%-6.5% increase in cotton yield, and 3%-8% in corn bushel yield. Methods for utilizing and manufacturing the combination are also provided.

Genetically modified seed combined with spore forming bacterium and optional insect control agents and methods for treating plants

Provided are methods for reducing the occurrence of sudden death syndrome in plants, such as soybeans, using compounds of the general formula (I).

Fungicidal compositions and methods

An composition having anti-nematodal activity derived frombacteria selected from the group consisting of isolated biosurfactant, isolated protease enzyme, isolated amylase, isolated lipase, and isolated cellulase, is disclosed. The disclosure also provides for methods of making the same, methods of controlling plant-parasite nematode, and methods of protecting plants.

Compositions and methods for controlling plant-parasite nematode

Provided are methods for reducing the occurrence of sudden death syndrome in plants, such as soybeans, using compounds of the general formula (I). 

Stable aqueous spore-containing chemical formulations having a low to medium viscosity profile are provided. The formulations comprise at least one spore in a mixture of water and at least one water miscible solvent, optionally at least one surfactant, optionally at least one stabilizer such as a metal salt, optionally at least one biocide, optionally at least one buffer, and optionally at least one chemical insecticide or fungicide or a mixture thereof. The formulations are particularly suitable as a seed coating and foliar spray. Methods of preparation as well as methods of treating a plant are also provided.

Stable aqueous spore-containing formulation

Compositions are provided that improve overall plant vigor and yield by combining agriculturally effective amounts of at least one environmentally friendly biological control agent and at least one insect control agent and or fungicide. A composition of the present invention is particularly effective in the presence of plant parasitic nematode and fungal species. Along with a benefit of reducing insect pressure, the inventive composition enhances the root system of a plant and improves the establishment of the biological control agent within the rhizosphere, thereby enhancing the effectiveness thereof. Use of a composition of the present invention leads to an overall reduction in crop losses caused by either plant parasitic nematodes or fungi and this reduction is much greater than would have bean expected from application of either component alone. Methods for utilizing compositions of the present invention are also provided. Further the compositions according to this invention display synergistic insecticidal, nematicidal, acaricidal or fungicidal activity.
