Abstract
Compositions comprising microbiological strains and cultures and methods of use thereof are provided herein. Certain strains, cultures, and compositions thereof are useful for the control of head blight disease, for example, of various crop plants. Biological control compositions, and methods of use thereof to prevent, inhibit or treat the development of plant pathogens or disease and for preserving plant yield, are also provided.
Claims18
A freeze dried or lyophilized composition comprising Mycosphaerella sp. strain SGI-010-H11 (deposited as NRRL 50471) or a pesticidally active variant thereof comprising a 16S rRNA nucleic acid sequence comprising a polynucleotide sequence having at least 98% sequence identity to the polynucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:11 and an agriculturally effective amount of a pesticide selected from the group consisting of an acaricide, a bactericide, a fungicide, an insecticide, a microbicide, and a nematicide, wherein the composition exhibits pesticidal activity.
A composition comprising Mycosphaerella sp. strain SGI-010-H11 (deposited as NRRL 50471) or a pesticidally active variant thereof comprising a 16S rRNA nucleic acid sequence comprising a polynucleotide sequence having at least 99% sequence identity to the polynucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:11 and a carrier, wherein the carrier comprises an adherent that confers increased stability, wettability or dispersability relative to a composition lacking the carrier, wherein the composition exhibits pesticidal activity, wherein the adherent comprises a polyvinyl acetate, a polyvinyl acetate copolymer, a polyvinyl alcohol, a polyvinyl alcohol copolymer, a methyl cellulose, a hydroxymethyl cellulose, and/or a hydroxymethyl propyl cellulose.
A seed having a coating comprising a seed coating formulation, the seed coating formulation comprising Mycosphaerella sp. strain SGI-010-H11 (deposited as NRRL 50471) or a pesticidally active variant thereof comprising a 16S rRNA nucleic acid sequence comprising a polynucleotide sequence having at least 99% sequence identity to the polynucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:11 and a carrier, wherein the carrier comprises an adherent that confers increased stability, wettability or dispersability relative to a composition lacking the carrier, wherein the composition exhibits pesticidal activity.
