A species ofsp 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.

Isolated bacterial strain of the genusand pesticidal metabolites therefrom

Provided is the use of or compositions or formulations comprisingspecies, filtrate, supernatant, extract, pesticidally active compound or metabolite derived therefrom as an insecticide, particularly against infestation of Corn Rootworm larvae, and/or as crop yield enhancer.

Use offormulations, compositions and compounds to modulate crop yield and/or corn rootworm infestation

Use of Burkholderia formulations, compositions and compounds to modulate crop yield and/or corn rootworm infestation

Provided is a pesticidalstrain and bioactive compositions and metabolites derived therefrom as well as their methods of use for controlling pests.

Pesticidalstrain and bioactive compositions metabolites and uses

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.

Uses of thaxtomin and thaxtomin compositions as herbicides

Provided are bioactive compounds and metabolites derived fromspecies 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.

Chromobacterium bioactive compositions and metabolites

Isolated bacterial strain of the genus burkholderia and pesticidal metabolites therefrom

[object Object]

Disclosed herein is a bacterial secondary metabolite, thaxtomin and another herbicide as an effective herbicide combination on broadleaved, sedge and grass weeds.
