The invention provides a method for combating biofilm, said method comprising contacting a biofilm with a composition comprising an effective amount of antimicrobial peptide biofilm enzyme combinations, preferably in the form of a fusion protein. The biofilm may be on an animate or inanimate surface and both medical and non-medical uses and methods are provided. In one aspect the invention provides a composition for use in the treatment or prevention of a biofilm in a subject, particularly in the oral cavity.

The invention provides a method for combating biofilm, said method comprising contacting a biofilm with a composition comprising effective amounts of one or more biofilm degrading enzymes in combination with antimicrobial agents or antimicrobial essential oils. The biofilm may be on an animate or inanimate surface and both medical and non-medical uses and methods are provided. In a preferred aspect the invention provides a composition and method for use in the treatment or prevention of a biofilm infection in a subject, particularly in the oral cavity.

Disclosed herein are pest control, e.g., biopesticide or biorepellent, compositions including a plurality of plant messenger packs (e.g., including a plant extracellular vesicle (EV), or segment, portion, or extract thereof) that are useful in methods for decreasing the fitness of pests (e.g., agriculture pests) and/or increasing the fitness of a plant.

A multipurpose fertilizer composition having anti-insect properties, water-retaining, and capable of improving to absorb micronutrients for plants obtained from the process of forming a homogeneous mixture by mixing a fertilizer mixture with at least three other ingredients including a chelation of trace elements solution, a water-retaining ingredient, and a plant extracts ingredients having anti-insect properties; wherein the chelation of trace elements solution having 5%-7% of the weight of the fertilizer mixture; the water-retaining ingredient having 7%-10% of the total weight of the fertilizer mixture, and the chelation of trace elements solution; the plant extracts ingredients having anti-insect properties having 0.08%-3% of the total weight of the fertilizer mixture, with the chelation of trace elements solution, and the water-retaining ingredient.

The protection of plants and human and non-human subjects from pathogens enables a multivalent approach to inhibiting pathogen infection in plant and human and non-human animal subjects and to ameliorate damage to susceptible subjects. A method for protecting a subject from a disease associated with infection by a pathogen includes providing cells of said subject with a Class I defensin and a permeabilizing defensin or a precursor or a functional homolog, analog, derivative or variant thereof of either or both.
