This disclosure includes the following components, all intended for the purpose of enhancing plant growth and performance: the capabilities of 1-octen-3-ol, which is a metabolite of Trichoderma strains and formulations thereof, a method for formulating this component or other highly effective compounds into stable formulations, and other materials which are expected to be effective with such components and methods. T. afroharzianum (formerly T. harzianum) produces 1-octen-3-ol (mushroom alcohol) and that at very low concentrations in aerial solution enhances plant growth and productivity, a result that could be duplicated by seed treatments at low concentrations.

The present invention relates to a method for the synthesis of cyclic depsipeptides, in particular emodepside, from the open form.
