A biologically pure strain of Bacillus firmus (CNCM I-1582) possessing nematicidal activity is provided. Also provided are compositions containing and methods for employing the Bacillus firmus strain and a biologically pure strain of Bacillus cereus (CNCM I-1562) possessing nematicidal activity. Nematicidally active mutants of these strains are also provided. Further disclosed are nematicidal compositions for use in plant protection based upon these bacterial strains or mutants thereof. Further disclosed are methods for controlling plant-pathogenetic nematodes which include use of these bacterial strains or mutants thereof. The strains find utility in controlling root-knot disease causing nematodes, for example those belonging to the species Meloidogyne.
A biologically pure strain selected from the group consisting of Bacillus firmus CNCM I-1582 having nematicidal activity and a biologically pure nematicidally active mutant of said strain having all of the identifying characteristics thereof.
A nematicidal composition for use in plant protection comprising, as an active ingredient, an effective amount of bacteria or spores of a biologically pure strain selected from the group consisting of Bacillus firmus CNCM I-1582, and a biologically pure nematicidally active mutant of said strain having all of the identifying characteristics therefore, said composition further containing a carrier.
A method for controlling plant-pathogenic nematodes, comprising applying to said plant a nematicidally effective amount of bacteria or spores of a biologically pure strain selected from the group consisting of Bacillus firmus CNCM I-1582, and a biologically pure nematicidally active mutant of said strain having all of the identifying characteristics thereof.
A nematicidal composition for use in plant protection comprising, as an active ingredient, an effective amount of bacteria or spores of a biologically pure strain selected from the group consisting of Bacillus cereus CNCM I-1562, and a biologically pure nematicidally active mutant of said strain having all of the identifying characteristics thereof, said composition further containing a carrier.
A method for controlling plant-pathogenic nematodes, comprising applying to said plant a nematicidally effective amount of bacteria or spores of a biologically pure strain selected from the group consisting of Bacillus cereus strain CNCM I-1562 and a nematicidally active biologically pure mutant of said strain having all of the identifying characteristics thereof.
