The present invention relates to a composition comprising a) recombinant exosporium-producing Bacillus cells that express a fusion protein comprising: (i) at least one plant growth stimulating protein or peptide and (ii) a targeting sequence that localizes the fusion protein to the exosporium of the Bacillus cells; and b) at least one particular insecticide disclosed herein in a synergistically effective amount. Furthermore, the present invention relates to the use of this composition as well as a method for enhancing plant growth, promoting plant health, and/or reducing overall damage of plants and plant parts.

Provided is a plant disease control composition having a broad spectrum against various plant pathogens, and shows excellent controlling effects (synergistic controlling effects) which cannot be expected from a single component alone. The plant disease control composition includes (Group a) at least one quinoline compound represented by the formula:

##STR00001##

(wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2: an alkyl which may be substituted, an aryl which may be substituted, etc.; R.sup.3, R.sup.4: H, an alkyl which may be substituted, etc.; X: halogen, an alkyl which may be substituted, etc.; Y: halogen, alkyl, etc.; n: 0 to 4; m: 0 to 6) or a salt thereof, and at least one of fungicidal compounds selected from the group consisting of a Strobilurin series compound, a triazole series compound, etc., as effective ingredients.

The present invention relates to novel mixtures comprising, as active components, fusaricidin A and fusaricidin B, and at least one fungicide selected from the group comprising difenoconazole, spiraoxamine, fluxapyroxad, boscalid, fluindapyr, isoflucypram, inpyrfluxam, pydiflumetofen, pyrimethanil, fluoxastrobin, metyltetraprole, trifloxystrobin, cyazofamid, amisulbrom, zoxamide, cymoxanil, fluazinam, valifenalate, benthiavalicarb, iprovalicarb, mandipropamid, dimethomorph, fluopicolide, ametoctradin, oxathiapiprolin, pyriofenone, metrafenone, metiram, man-cozeb, dithianon, fosetyl and fosetyl-A1. The present invention also relates to a method of controlling or suppressing plant pathogens or preventing plant pathogen infections by applying such mixtures.
