Abstract
The subject invention concerns a novel bioherbicide and its use to control a major weed found in many fields in the Southeastern United States where peanuts and soybeans are grown. Specifically, Colletotrichum truncatum (Schw.) Andrus & Moore, in an agricultural composition, can be used to effectively control Florida beggarweed without adversely affecting field crops, e.g., peanuts and soybeans. Further, C. truncatum (Schw.) Andrus & Moore in a mixture with Alternaria cassiae can be used to control Florida beggarweed and other undesired vegetation, such as sicklepod, showy crotalaria and coffee senna.
