The disclosure, in one aspect, relates to compositions containing non-pathogenic Burkholderia species SSG and/or extracts from SSG cultures and methods of making and using the same. Also disclosed are methods for treating and preventing plant diseases caused by pathogens, the methods including applying the disclosed compositions to plants and/or soil, diseased leaf debris, or other plant growth media surrounding the plants. Finally, disclosed are methods for increasing plant growth using the disclosed compositions. The compositions are effective as well as environmentally benign and are not detrimental to human or animal health This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present disclosure.

The disclosure discloses application of nanosulfur in tomato fusarium wilt control, belonging to the technical field of novel pesticides. The application of the disclosure includes the following steps: preparing a nanosulfur solution from nanosulfur; and then soaking seeds in the nanosulfur solution or applying the nanosulfur solution onto tomato foliage, and continuing cultivation to obtain tomato plants. The nanosulfur has a particle size of 20-150 nm. The nanosulfur solution uses water as a solvent and has a concentration of 30-200 mg/L. According to the disclosure, after the tomato plants are treated with the nanosulfur by foliar spraying, the fresh weight of the above-ground part is 1.05 times or more that of the disease group, and the fresh weight of the underground part is 1.05 times or more that of the disease group, so that the incidence of tomato fusarium wilt is reduced by 8% or more. After the tomato plants are treated with the nanosulfur by seed soaking, the fresh weight of the above-ground part is 1.38 times or more that of the disease group, and the fresh weight of the underground part is 1.05 times or more that of the disease group, so that the incidence of tomato fusarium wilt is reduced by 20% or more.
