Claims28
An agricultural composition for controlling growth of one or more plant species comprising:
- (i) a minicell and (ii) a bioactive agent having herbicidal activity,
- wherein the bioactive agent is selected from a botanical blend, a metabolite, at least one microbial species, and combinations thereof;
- and
- wherein the growth of the plant species is controlled with application of said composition to the plant species, and
- wherein the minicell enhances herbicidal activity of the bioactive agent.
A method of controlling growth of one or more plant species, the method comprising:
- applying an agricultural composition for controlling growth of one or more plant species comprising:
- (i) a minicell and (ii) a bioactive agent having herbicidal activity,
- wherein the bioactive agent is selected from a botanical blend, a metabolite, at least one microbial species, and combinations thereof;
- and
- wherein the growth of the plant species is controlled with said application of the composition and wherein the minicell enhances herbicidal activity of the bioactive agent.
