Disclosed is a method for controlling corn rootworm damage to corn comprising the step of applying to a corn seed from 103 to 106 colony forming units of one of Beauveria bassiana strain ARSEF 2579 (BF503), Metarhizium pingshaence strain ARSEF 5197 (BF517) or mixtures thereof. Another aspect of the present disclosure comprises further combining either BF503 or BF517 with the fungi Trichoderma afroharzianum strain K2 (ATCC PTA-9708) plus Trichoderma atroviride strain K4 (ATCC PTA 9707) and applying it to corn seeds. Another aspect of the present disclosure comprises applying at least one of the BF503 or BF517 to a field planted with corn, with the fungi applied into the seed zone. In another aspect of the present disclosure the same field is further treated with both Trichoderma afroharzianum strain K2 (ATCC PTA-9708) plus Trichoderma atroviride strain K4 (ATCC PTA 9707) into the seed zone.
Disclosed are shelf stable water miscible suspension systems for suspending microbes and/or microbe derived metabolites so they are water dispersible and can be combined with a variety of agricultural chemicals in an aqueous solution. The microbes and/or microbe derived metabolites are initially suspended in a plant derived oil and then this oil suspension is converted to a water dispersible suspension using one of the disclosed suspension systems. The microbe and/or microbe derived metabolites in the suspension systems are shelf stable for at least 52 weeks at 25° C.

Functional particles for delivery of beneficial agricultural components
Disclosed is a functionalized particle having at its core a porous particle that acts as a structured support element. This porous particle is surrounded by a protective sealant layer encasing the porous particle. The particle includes a plurality of pores holding a first beneficial agricultural component. The functionalized particle can also include a plurality of functionalized molecules embedded in the sealant layer. The functionalized molecules comprise a base material, comprising an active agricultural component or an inactive material, and an active second beneficial agricultural component. The functionalized molecules can all contain the same base material and the same active second beneficial agricultural component or a mixture of different base materials and a mixture of second beneficial agricultural components. The first and second beneficial agricultural components can either be single components or a mixture of components and may be the same or different from each other.
The present disclosure relates generally to compositions and methods entailing one or more microbial treatments being applied to crop plants such that changes in plant gene expression and microbiome alteration are induced that stabilize the performance of the treated plant. The present disclosure allows for the use of non-GMO plants in combination with microbial agents or derivatives that signal the plant to upregulate certain gene expression. Thus, reduction of field variability, reduction of plant microbiome diversity, stabilization of plant gene expression, stabilization of yields and stabilization of harvest quality are achieved.
