A strain of Bacillus licheniformis (designated ‘K-357’) functions as an insecticide. Surprisingly, application of this single strain of B. licheniformis K-357 reduced nematode hatching and increased nematode mortality in vitro and reduced nematode counts and increased plant vigor and yield in cotton field trials. Nematicidal activity and cotton yield were compared for seed treated with B. licheniformis K-357 to in-furrow application of Aldicarb and Fluopyram, and seed treatment with Abamectin as nematicide. The nematicidal activity of the B. licheniformis K-357 was on par with, and in some cases superior to, that of the chemical treatments. The increases in cotton yield for seed treated with K-357 as nematicide were superior to that of both in-furrow application and seed treatment with the chemical nematicides. Corn seed treated with B. licheniformis K-357 in combination with chemical insecticides and fungicides had decreased root node injury in corn field trials heavily infested with corn rootworm.

The present application relates to compounds of formulae (I)-(VII) as defined herein, compositions containing these compounds, methods of their use, and methods of making. The compounds have nematacide activity.

A method of inhibiting or preventing damage to plants or seeds by a PPN (Plant Parasitic Nematode). The method comprises applying an effective amount of a biogenic amine signalling pathway inhibitor to a plant or a seed. The biogenic amine signalling pathway inhibitor may be a serotonin signalling pathway inhibitor. In particular, the biogenic amine signalling pathway inhibitor may be reserpine or an active analogue or derivative thereof.
