“BIO-PESTICIDE OIL FORMULATION” The present invention relates to a bio-pesticide formulation and a process for the preparation thereof. Particularly this invention relates to a formulation useful against foliar plant diseases, wherein said bio-pesticide formulation comprises of: I.) a homogeneous component I comprising: Eucalyptus leaves; Trichoderma harzianum; and karanj cake, II.) a component II comprising: an agro oil in 50 to 80% of component II; water in 10 to 30% of component II; and one or more emulsifiers selected from the group consisting of glycerine, Tween 20 and propylene glycol in 02 to 30% of component II, III.) a carbon source in a percentage of 2 to 10%, and IV.) optionally a structural agent in a percentage of 2 to 10%.

Methods are provided for enhancing the health, growth and/or sturdiness of turf grasses by applying a combination of microbes and/or their growth by-products to the turf grass roots and/or to soil. Specifically, in one embodiment, the subject invention utilizes Trichoderma harzianum and a strain of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens. The methods can further be used to improve maintenance and upkeep of natural turf grass fields used in, for example, athletics and recreation, as well as to increase the functionality and safety of these natural turf grass fields.

Disclosed are compositions comprising chitosan, glucosamine and amino acids, where the concentration of chitosan is greater than 1.5 wt % and glucosamine is greater than 1.5 wt %. In preferred embodiments the concentration of chitosan is from 2 to 2.5 wt % and glucosamine is 2 to 6 wt %. The composition can also include solid chitin. The composition can also include trace elements, protein and other polysaccharides. The composition is generally a liquid but may be a solid. In most embodiments, the solid can be reconstituted with water prior to use. In preferred embodiments, the composition comprises HYTd and at least one of, HYTa, HYTb and HYTc. In other embodiments the composition comprises HYTd and two or more of, HYTa, HYTb and HYTc. The composition can also comprise HYTd, HYTa, HYTb and HYTc. In the disclosed processes soil, seed, seedling or plant foliage are contacted with HYTd or any of the above compositions.

Disclosed are an antiviral composition, a composition for controlling plant viruses, and a method for controlling plant viruses using the composition. Trichodermin or Trichoderminol which is a tricothecene-based compound and is isolated from Trichoderma albolutescenes strain has antiviral activities against various plant viruses and is thus suitable for controlling plant viruses. This description can facilitate mass production of an active component derived from natural products, provide environment-friendly antifungal agents, which do not harm plants, using safe materials, and be variously utilized in agricultural fields, for example, such as production of high-value crops.

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.
