The present disclosure includes the field of agricultural biologicals, and provides microorganism compositions for preventing and controlling citrus huanglongbing and their methods of use thereof.

The present disclosure includes the field of agricultural biologicals, and provides microorganism compositions for preventing and controlling citrus huanglongbing and their methods of use thereof.

Provided are compositions derived from Beauveria bassiana, Brevibacillus brevis, Streptomyces spororaveus, Paenibacillus elgii, or Streptomyces sp. fermentation, having algicidal properties, and method of use thereof.

The present disclosure addresses biologically active formulations for agricultural and other applications that comprise a solid growth substrate that defines an open cell matrix and an active population of one or more microorganisms adhered thereto. The formulation is configured to be applied directly to a plant growth environment and does not require additional isolation and/or processing steps that would separate the microorganisms from the solid growth substrate prior to deployment. The disclosure also addresses related methods.

A fungal strain of the genus Trichoderma with the designation HSA12 and compositions that contain said fungal strain or spores thereof is disclosed. The fungal strain or spores thereof are promoting stabilizing plant growth, increasing the yields of crops, inoculating soil, roots and/or above-ground plant parts with the fungal strain or spores with compositions containing said fungal strain or spores thereof, to increase the efficiency of nutrient intake and to improve the stress tolerance of crops as well as improving the structure and health of the soil or for decontaminating or remediating soil or a body of water and for stabilizing or reestablishing endangered or desired wild plant populations. Also disclosed is a set of primer pairs for amplifying microsatellite loci of the genome of the fungal strain in order to determine molecular markers and to identify the fungal strain. A method for determining the fungal strain is also disclosed.

A method for preventing or combating a fungal infection on a stone fruit tree or a part thereof includes applying Trichoderma atroviride strain SC1 to the tree, the part thereof, or a locus of the tree. The Trichoderma atroviride strain SC1 is useful in the prevention or combat of a fungal infection on a stone fruit tree or a part thereof.
