Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel mixtures comprising, as active components, at least one isolated bacterial strain, which is a member of the genus Paenibacillus, or a cell-free extract thereof or at least one metabolite thereof, and at least one chemical pesticide. The present invention also relates to compositions comprising at least one of such bacterial strains, whole culture broth or a cell-free extract or a fraction thereof or at least one metabolite thereof, and at least one chemical pesticide. The present invention also relates to a method of controlling or suppressing plant pathogens or preventing plant pathogen infections by applying such composition. The present invention also relates to mixtures of fusaricidins which are pesticidal metabolites produced by the abovementioned strains, and chemical pesticides.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel isolated bacterial strains, which are members of the genus Paenibacillus, originally isolated from soil and showing antagonistic activity against a broad range of pathogens and being capable of producing antimicrobial metabolites. It was found that the strains Lu16774 and Lu17007 belong to a novel subspecies named Paenibacillus polymyxa ssp. plantarum while the strain Lu17015 belongs to a novel species which is proposed to be Paenibacillus epiphyticus. The present invention also relates to microbial pesticide compositions comprising at least one of such novel bacterial strains, whole culture broth or a cell-free extract or a fraction thereof or at least one metabolite thereof, and/or a mutant of at least one of said novel bacterial strains having all the identifying characteristics of the respective bacterial strain or whole culture broth, cell-free extract, fraction and/or metabolite of the mutant thereof showing antagonistic activity against plant pathogens. The present invention also relates to a method of controlling or suppressing plant pathogens or preventing plant pathogen infections by applying such composition. The present invention also relates to novel fusaricidin-type compounds which are metabolites produced by the strains of the present invention.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to fungal strains, which are a member of the genus Penicillium and have antifungal activity, and to cell-free extracts of said strains, culture media obtainable by culturing said strains and extrolites produced by said strains, all of which have fungicidal activity. The present invention further relates to compositions comprising said strains, extracts, culture media and extrolites, and their uses in the agrochemical field and the field of controlling phytopathogenic fungi in particular.

Abstract:
Computer-implemented method for providing training data for a machine learning algorithm for image classifying a pathogen infestation of a plant, comprising the steps: providing image data of a plant or a plant part infested with a pathogen; providing genetic result data of the plant or the plant part to which the image data referred comprising at least information about the type of pathogen; labeling the image data with the genetic result data.
Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for determining at least one of the treatment parameters selected from the group consisting of: a) at least one time window for a treatment in an agricultural field, b) at least one method for a treatment in an agricultural field, c) at least one product for a treatment in an agricultural field, d) at least one dose rate for a treatment in an agricultural field, and e) at least one application map for conducting a zone-specific treatment in an agricultural field, comprising the following steps: (step 1) providing genetic information of at least one organism which existed or is existing or is expected to exist in the agricultural field, (step 2) at least based on the genetic information of the at least one organism, initiating and/or performing data processing in at least one database and/or data-base system containing (i) genetic information data and (ii) data related to the at least one treatment parameter, (step 3) outputting the at least one treatment parameter based on the result of the data processing.
