The present invention relates to a Bacillus subtilis JCK-1398 strain (Accession No. KCTC 14084BP) having induced resistance activity in pine trees and various plants, a pesticidal or antibacterial composition comprising same as an active ingredient, a composition for controlling plant diseases or pests, and a control method using same. The Bacillus subtilis JCK-1398 strain of the present invention was experimentally confirmed to have control activity against pests, nematodes, and fungi, which cause various plant diseases, by inducing resistance in a host. Thus, the Bacillus subtilis JCK-1398 strain of the present invention can be effectively used to control related plant diseases and can be spread over a wide area through foliar spraying, and therefore is expected to be able to prevent the spread of pine wilt disease at low cost.

In crop production in the fields of agriculture, horticulture and the like, the damage caused by insect pests etc. is still immense, and insect pests resistant to existing insecticides have emerged. The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to develop and provide a novel agricultural or horticultural insecticide. Another object of the present invention is to provide an agent capable of eliminating ectoparasites or endoparasites of animals. These objects are achieved by an imidazopyridazine compound represented by the general formula (1):
