The invention concerns a method for prophylaxis of infections by fungi, particularly by oomycetes, and of bacterial infections in crop and ornamental plants. Areas of application are vine, fruit, vegetable and ornamental plant growing. The method of the invention is characterized in that an aqueous solution of a protease, alone or in combination with β-glucanases and/or chitinases, is prepared, stabilizers, stickers and wetters are added, and the additized solution is applied by conventional techniques to the plants a number of times within the vegetation period, preferably ahead of weather-related phases of high infection threat.

Method for prophylaxis of infections in crops and ornamentals, preferably in viticulture, and in woody plants

The invention relates to the use of an isolated arabinanase enzyme comprising the activities of (1-5)-&#x3b1;-arabinofuranosidic linkage endohydrolysis in (1-5)-&#x3b1;-L-arabinans (EC 3.2.1.99), and hydrolysis of (1-5)-&#x3b1;-arabinofuranosidic linkages at the non-reducing end of &#x3b1;-L-arabinans or &#x3b1;-L-arabinose-oligomers (EC 3.2.1.55), particularly an arabinan-degrading enzyme isolated fromas feed additive in livestock breeding. Furthermore, the invention relates to the application of the arabinanase in the production of fruit juices or biofuels.

Methods for prophylaxis of infections in crops and ornamentals, preferably in viticulture, and in woody plants

The invention relates to the use of at least one bacterial amylase and/or bacterial or fungal cellulase in combination with one or more protease(s) in substrates for anaerobic digestion processes for biogas production for improving degradation of maize, maize silages and/or other biogas substrates, in particular for improving gas yield, velocity and substrate conversion rate.
