The present disclosure relates to a composition for promoting plants growth and/or for protecting plants against at least one plant pest and/or one plant disease, the composition comprising simultaneously at least one bacteria of the genus Bacillus producing antifungal lipopeptides, at least one fungi of the genus Trichoderma, and at least one nitrogen mineral source. The present disclosure also relates to the use of such a composition and to a method for obtaining such a composition. The present disclosure also relates to a co-culture medium for producing at least in part such a composition.

The present invention relates to the potentiating effect of the association of botanical extract and Bacillus ssp. as a bionematicide agent and its surprising potential effect in promoting plant growth in a single product achieved by a distinguished industrial process. The industrial process of inducing the formation of Bacillus spp. endospores by osmotic stress of vegetative cells in a culture medium during bacterial growth is what allows the mixing of Bacillus spp. and botanical extract, since there is an incompatibility between the Bacillus species themselves and the botanical extract, both in the vegetative phase of the microorganism. Finally, synergy between the active ingredients, microbial cells and allicin, activate the bionematicide and growth-promoting function of the disclosed biotechnological composition.

The present invention provides a compound that has an excellent control effect on harmful arthropods, and is represented by formula (I) [wherein Z.sup.1 and Z.sup.2 represent an oxygen atom, etc., G.sup.1 represents CR.sup.1a, etc., G.sup.2 represents CR.sup.1c, etc., G.sup.3 represents CR.sup.1d, etc., Q represents a C6-C10 aryl group, etc., R.sup.1b represents a C1-C6 chain hydrocarbon group, etc., and R.sup.1a, R.sup.1c and R.sup.1d represent a C1-C6 chain hydrocarbon group, etc.]

or its N-oxide, or salts thereof.
