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.

Coating composition for applying to a plant structure of a monocotyledonous plant from which roots and shoots are capable of growing, wherein the said coating composition comprises an organic carrier material and one or more biological agents that possess an activity against at least one or more pathogens of the said monocotyledonous plant.

The subject invention provides materials and methods for reducing deleterious atmospheric gases, such as greenhouse gases. In specific embodiments, the reduction in deleterious atmospheric gases is achieved via enhanced vegetative carbon utilization and storage, as well as increased carbon sequestration in soil. In some embodiments, the subject invention can be used for reducing the number of carbon credits used by an operator involved in, e.g., agriculture, livestock production, waste management or other industries. In certain embodiments, the subject invention provides customizable microbe-based products, as well as methods of using these microbe-based products for reduction of greenhouse gases and/or enhanced sequestration of carbon.
