Abstract

The present invention relates to a composition comprising at least one biological control agent. Furthermore, the present invention relates to the use of this composition as well as a method for reducing overall damage of plants and plant parts.

First claim

We claim:

1. A composition comprising:
at least one biological control agent selected from the group consisting of Bacillus subtilis AQ713 (NRRL Accession No. B-21661), Bacillus subtilis AQ30002 (NRRL Accession No. B-50421), and Bacillus subtilis AQ30004 (NRRL Accession No. B-50455), and
at least one insecticide comprising a microbial disruptor of insect midgut membranes selected from the group consisting of B.t. crop proteins: Cry1Ab, Cry1Ac, Cry1Fa, Cry1A.105, Cry2Ab, and Vip3A
wherein combination of the at least one biological control agent and the at least one insecticide results in a synergistic effect.

2. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one biological control agent is Bacillus subtilis AQ713 (NRRL Accession No. B-21661).

3. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one biological control agent is Bacillus subtilis AQ30002 (NRRL Accession No. B-50421).

4. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one biological control agent is Bacillus subtilis AQ30004 (NRRL Accession No. B-50455).

5. The composition according to claim 2 , wherein the B.t. crop protein is Cry1Ab.

6. The composition according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one fungicide, with the proviso that the biological control agent and the fungicide are not identical;
wherein the at least one fungicide is selected from the group consisting of inhibitors of the ergosterol biosynthesis, inhibitors of the respiratory chain at complex I or II, inhibitors of the respiratory chain at complex III, inhibitors of the mitosis and cell division, compounds capable to induce a host defense, inhibitors of the amino acid and/or protein biosynthesis, inhibitors of the ATP production, inhibitors of the cell wall synthesis, inhibitors of the lipid and membrane synthesis, inhibitors of the melanine biosynthesis, inhibitors of the nucleic acid synthesis, inhibitors of the signal transduction, compounds capable to act as an uncoupler such as binapacryl, dinocap, ferimzone, fluazinam, meptyldinocap and further compounds, like for example benthiazole, bethoxazin,
