Abstract
Compositions and methods for improving one or more aspects of plant growth using synergistically effective amounts of one or more lipo-chitooligosaccharides and one or more agriculturally beneficial microorganisms, such as Streptomyces lydicus WYEC 108, Trichoderma virens GI-3 and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens SB3778.
Claims18
A method comprising applying
- (a) Streptomyces lydicus WYEC 108 and
- (b) a lipo-chitooligosaccharide selected from the lipo-chitooligosaccharide represented by structure (V):
- and the lipo-chitooligosaccharide represented by structure (VII):
- to a plant seed in amounts effective to synergistically enhance one or more growth parameters of the plant that grows from said seed vis-à-vis separate application of (a) and (b), wherein said Streptomyces lydicus WYEC 108 is applied to the plant seed at least at a rate of 1×104 to 1×105 colony forming units (CFU) per seed, and wherein said lipo-chitooligosaccharide is applied to the plant seed at a rate of at least 1.86 μg per cwt (μg/hundred weight).

A composition comprising
- (a) Streptomyces lydicus WYEC 108 and
- (b) one or more lipo-chitooligosaccharides selected from the lipo-chitooligosaccharide represented by the structure (V):
- and the lipo-chitooligosaccharide represented by the structure (VII):
- in amounts effective to synergistically enhance one or more growth parameters of a plant when said composition is applied to said plant and/or to the seed from which said plant is grown vis-à-vis separate application of (a) and (b), wherein said Streptomyces lydicus WYEC 108 is applied to the plant and/or seed at least at a rate of 1×104 to 1×105 colony forming units (CFU) per plant and/or seed, and wherein said lipo-chitooligosaccharide is applied to the plant and/or seed at a rate of at least 1.86 μg per cwt (μg/hundred weight).
