Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention provides materials and method for controlling pests, in particular, nematodes. The invention also provides compositions comprising biosurfactants as pesticides.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A method for controlling nematodes wherein said method comprises contacting the nematodes with a nematicidal composition comprising a sophorolipid (SLP) produced by Starmerella bombicola and a mannosylerytrithol lipid (MEL), produced by Pseudozyma aphidis , wherein the SLP is in a broth in which the Starmerella bombicola was cultivated and the MEL is in a broth in which the Pseudozyma aphidis was cultivated. 2. The method, according to claim 1 , which further comprises contacting the nematode with Wickerhamomyces anomalus. 3. The method, according to claim 1 , wherein the broth composition is applied to nematodes, and/or their environment, without first separating biosurfactant from cell mass of the Starmerella bombicola and Pseudozyma aphidis. 4. The method, according to claim 1 , used to control a nematode selected from Meloidogyne incognital, Belonolaimus longicaudatus, Heterodera glycines, Pratylenchus sp., Xiphinema sp., and Tylenchulus semipenetrans. 5. The method, according to claim 1 , wherein said method is used to control nematode pests of plants. 6. The method, according to claim 5 , wherein the plants are selected from tomatoes, soybeans, corn, citrus and turfgrasses. 7. The method, according to claim 5 , wherein the composition is applied as a seed treatment. 8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the composition is applied to soil. 9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises applying a nematode attractant.
