The disclosure relates to a systemic platform for developing soil-borne plant pathogen inhibiting microbial consortia. The platform utilizes multivariate computer modelling and multidimensional ecological function balancing (MEFB) nodal analysis to develop microbial consortia, consortia, and inoculants. The disclosure further relates to a prescriptive biocontrol system that will enable farmers to have site-specific agricultural biologics developed for their specific site and crop of interest.

The present invention relates to an antibacterial or plant disease control composition containing caryolan-1-ol. According to the present invention, the caryolan-1-ol, as a volatile substance isolated from a Streptomyces sp. strain, has an excellent antifungal effect on various plant pathogens including Botrytis cinerea, Fusarium oxysporum, Phytophthora nicotinae, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, Rhizoctonia cerealis, Rhizoctonia solani and Gibberella moniliformis and the like, and has storage disease preventive and herbicidal activity, thereby being usable as an antibacterial composition and a plant disease control composition.

Compositions and methods for controlling pests are provided. The methods involve transforming organisms with a nucleic acid sequence encoding an insecticidal protein. In particular, the nucleic acid sequences are useful for preparing plants and microorganisms that possess insecticidal activity. Thus, transformed bacteria, plants, plant cells, plant tissues and seeds are provided. Compositions are insecticidal nucleic acids and proteins of bacterial species. The sequences find use in the construction of expression vectors for subsequent transformation into organisms of interest including plants, as probes for the isolation of other homologous (or partially homologous) genes. The pesticidal proteins find use in controlling, inhibiting growth or killing Lepidopteran, Coleopteran, Dipteran, fungal, Hemipteran and nematode pest populations and for producing compositions with insecticidal activity.
