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 applying to the nematodes, and/or to the environment of the nematodes, a composition comprising a mannosylerytrithol lipid (MEL) and a Pseudozyma aphidis microorganism and/or broth in which said Pseudozyma aphidis microorganism has been cultivated, wherein the MEL is present at a concentration of 0.1 to 20 wt %. 2 . The method, according to claim 1 , further comprising applying to the nematodes, and/or to the environment of the nematodes, a nematode attractant substance. 3 . The method, according to claim 1 , used to control a nematode selected from root-knot nematode, sting nematode, soybean cyst nematode, lesion nematode, dagger nematode, and citrus nematode. 4 . The method, according to claim 1 , which further comprises applying to the nematodes, and/or to the environment of the nematodes, a Starmerella microorganism and/or broth in which said Starmerella microorganism has been cultivated. 5 . The method, according to claim 1 , which further comprises applying to the nematodes, and/or to the environment of the nematodes, a Pichia anomala ( Wickerhamomyces anomalus ) microorganism and/or broth in which said Pichia anomala ( Wickerhamomyces anomalus ) microorganism has been cultivated. 6 . The method, according to claim 1 , wherein said method is used to control nematode pests of plants. 7 . The method, according to claim 6 , wherein the plants are selected from tomatoes, soybeans, corn, citrus and turfgrasses. 8 . The method, according to claim 6 , wherein the composition is applied as a seed treatment. 9 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the composition is applied to soil.
