The innovations provides an antimicrobial and synergistic phytochemical composition, consisting of two active ingredients (FZ and YC). This innovation also consists of formulation processes and its applications to fungi, bacteria and/or virus-caused plant diseases such as citrus Huanglongbing, grape downy mildew, strawberry gray mold etc. This innovation combines two ingredients (FZ and YC) with different modes of action, dramatically improving plant inducible acquired resistance. Therefore, this composition dramatically enhances the control efficacy of plant diseases caused by fungi, bacteria or virus, expands the antimicrobial spectrum and promotes the plant growth.

The fungicidal activity of TCA and cell-free extracts of X. szentirmaii is superior compared to other Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus species. The effectiveness of TCA and X. szentirmaii metabolites to synergize and enhance fungicidal efficacy of commercial fungicides when combined with them at particular concentrations to suppress growth of Monilinia fructicola and Rhizoctonia solani was evaluated. Fungicidal activity was measured by phytopathogen growth on PDA plates with and without treatments. For suppression of M. fructicola, synergy was observed between TCA when combined with certain concentrations of Elast, PropiMax, Regalia or Serenade, and for combinations of X. szentirmaii, strain 17C+E, when combined with Abound. For suppression of R. solani, synergy was observed between TCA combined with Regalia or Serenade. TCA combined with X. szentirmaii resulted in synergistic levels of suppression of M. fructicola. Utilizing TCA and X. szentirmaii for enhancing fungicidal activity improves control of phytopathogenic diseases and reduces environmental impact.

This invention relates to aqueous plant treatment compositions that improve the environmental experience of the consumer and industrial grower while contributing to the health of plants. Compositions of the invention include mixtures of naturally sourced fragrances, plant sourced micronutrients, plant sourced pesticides, naturally sourced emulsifying agents, and odor sequestering agents. Compositions are combined as solutions that may be disposed onto soil, plant foliage, or onto cellulosic substrate to reduce or eliminate the malodors of plant treatments as from previous organic fertilizers or from pesticides, while imparting a pleasant post treatment fragrance.
