Nematicidal composition comprising
The present invention refers to a composition comprising Bacillus subtilis (DSM 17231) and Bacillus licheniformis (DSM 17236) with nematicidal effect against phytonematodes on plants and/or its habitat, to its use and process for its preparation, use of Bacillus subtilis (DSM 17231) and Bacillus licheniformis (DSM 17236), processes for controlling, combating and conferring specific resistance to phytonematodes, and a kit.
1. A process for preparing a composition comprising (i) about 2.4% to about 3.0% by weight of Bacillus subtilis strain DSM 17231; (ii) about 2.4% to about 3.0% by weight of Bacillus licheniformis strain DSM 17236; (iii) about 93.0% to about 94.2% by weight maltodextrin; and (iv) about 1.0% by weight silicon dioxide, comprising mixing the Bacillus subtilis and the Bacillus licheniformis with agrochemically acceptable carriers, vehicles and/or adjuvants.
2. A method for controlling, combatting and/or conferring specific resistance to a phytonematode, comprising applying to a plant a composition comprising (i) about 2.4% to about 3.0% by weight of Bacillus subtilis strain DSM 17231; (ii) about 2.4% to about 3.0% by weight of Bacillus licheniformis strain DSM 17236; (iii) about 93.0% to about 94.2% by weight maltodextrin; and (iv) about 1.0% by weight silicon dioxide.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the phytonematode is selected from the group consisting of Meloidogyne, Pratylenchus, Heterodera, Globodera, Ditylenchus, Tylenchulus, Xiphinema, Radopholus, Rotylenchulus, Helicotylenchus and Belonolaimus.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the phytonematode is selected from the group consisting of Meloidogyne incognita, Meloidogyne javanica, Meloidogyne exigua, Meloidogyne paranaensis, Heterordera glycines and Pratylenchus zeae.
5. The method of claim 2 , wherein the plant is selected from the group consisting of sugar cane, soybean, potato, carrot, coffee and banana.
6. The method of claim 2 , comprising watering the plant with a suspension that comprises the composition.
7. The method of claim 6 , comprising immersing a seedling root system in said suspension.
8. A method for controlling, combatting and/or conferring specific resistance to a phytonematode, comprising applying to a plant seed a composition comprising (i) about 2.4% to about 3.0% by weight of Bacillus subtilis strain DSM 17231; (ii) about 2.4% to about 3.0% by weight of a Bacillus licheniformis strain DSM 17236; (iii) about 93.0% to about 94.2% by weight maltodextrin; and (iv) about 1.0% by weight silicon dioxide.
9. The method of claim 8 , comprising dipping the plant seed into a suspension that comprises the composition.
10. The method of claim 9 , comprising applying said suspension with pelleting of said seed in alginate.
11. A method for controlling, combatting and/or conferring specific resistance to a phytonematode, comprising applying to plant soil a composition comprising (i) about 2.4% to about 3.0% by weight of Bacillus subtilis strain DSM 17231; (ii) about 2.4% to about 3.0% by weight of Bacillus licheniformis strain DSM 17236; (iii) about 93.0% to about 94.2% by weight maltodextrin; and (iv) about 1.0% by weight silicon dioxide.
