Provided is the use of or compositions or formulations comprising Burkholderia species, filtrate, supernatant, extract, pesticidally active compound or metabolite derived therefrom as an insecticide, particularly against infestation of Corn Rootworm larvae, and/or as crop yield enhancer.

A fungicidal composition comprising active components A and B, wherein the active component A is benzisothiazolinone, and the active component B is flutriafol; and the weight ratio of the two components is 1:30-30:1. Also provided are a preparation method and use of the composition. Test results show that the fungicidal composition provided in the present invention has an obvious synergistic effect, and more importantly, the application rate is reduced and the cost is reduced. The fungicidal composition is effective in controlling certain specific fungal diseases of the crops. Through the combination of different fungicides with different mechanisms and modes of action, the application rate of each single agent is effectively reduced, and a good effect on broadening the fungicidal spectrum, retarding the fungal resistance and improving the control effect is exhibited.

A method of making an anti-microbial nano-particle containing an essential oil compound (EOC) can include the steps of: a) mixing a quantity of an amphiphilic polymer with a quantity of a solvent to produce a suspension b) heating the suspension to a processing temperature that is higher than a glass transition temperature of the amphiphilic polymer thereby formatting a plurality of polymeric micelles within the solvent, each micelle having a hydrophilic outer portion encasing a hydrophobic core and having a micelle diameter of less than about 80 nm; and c) adding a quantity of an essential oil (EOC) or components of such into the suspension so that a concentration of the essential oil compound is between about 0.2% and about 20% wt, whereby the EOC diffuses into and are encapsulated within the hydrophobic cores of each micelle.
