Abstract
The present specification discloses plant agent compositions, articles of manufacture, containers or kits comprising such compositions, and methods and uses to control a causal agent of a plant disease or increasing plant growth and/or fruit production.
Claims20
A plant agent composition comprising a treated, fermented microbial supernatant and one or more nonionic surfactants, wherein the composition lacks any active enzymes or live bacteria, and wherein the composition has a pH below 5.0.
The plant agent composition according to claim 7, wherein the polyhydroxyl nonionic surfactant comprising a sucrose ester, an ethoxylated sucrose ester, a sorbital ester, an ethoxylated sorbital ester, an alkyl glucoside, an ethoxylated alkyl glucoside, a polyglycerol ester, or an ethoxylated polyglycerol ester.
A method of increasing plant growth and/or crop production, the method comprising applying an effective amount of a plant agent composition as defined in claim 1 to one or more plants and/or applying an effective amount of a plant agent composition as defined in claims 1-23 to one or more locations where a plant agent composition will be exposed to the one or more plants, wherein application of the plant agent composition results in improved absorption by root hairs, improve xylem sap flow through xylem and improve photosynthate flow in phloem, increased uptake of water, minerals and other nutrients from the soil, increase the capillary action and/or hydrostatic pressure in xylem, and/or increase synthesis of compounds and energy and/or disruption of one or more components blocking xylem sap flow and/or photosynthate flow.
