The present invention relates in general to the use of a kit or composition comprising at least one yeast and at least one bacterium, selected from the group consisting of lactobacillales, rhizobiales and bifidobacteriales, and/or comprising calcium for improving plant health, for improving plant resistance to plant pathogens, for preventing or reducing mycotoxin contamination of plant material, for improving plant resistance to a plant disease, for preventing perithecia formation of a plant pathogen on plant debris, for plant protection and/or as plant stimulant. The present invention also relates to corresponding compositions and kits and a method of applying such composition or kit to a living plant or plant debris.

Embodiments of the present invention pertain to antimicrobial glass compositions, glasses and articles. The articles include a glass, which may include a glass phase and a cuprite phase. In other embodiments, the glasses include as plurality of Cu.sup.1+ ions, a degradable phase including B2O3, P.sub.2O.sub.5 and K.sub.2O and a durable phase including SiO.sub.2. Other embodiments include glasses having a plurality of Cu.sup.1+ ions disposed on the surface of the glass and in the glass network and/or the glass matrix. The article may also include a polymer. The glasses and articles disclosed herein exhibit a 2 log reduction or greater in a concentration of at least one of Staphylococcus aureus, Enterobacter aerogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria, Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and E. coli, under the EPA Test Method for Efficacy of Copper Alloy as a Sanitizer testing condition and under Modified JIS Z 2801 for Bacteria testing conditions.
