Provided is a pest control composition comprising Bacillus firmus CNCM 1-1582 spore and one insect control agent selected from the group including clothianidin, imidacloprid, thiacloprid, thiamethoxam, acetamiprid, methiocarb, thiodicarb, tefluthrin, spinosad, emamectin-benzoate, avermectin, spirodiclofen, spiromesifen, spirotetramat, flubendiamide, cyantraniliprole (cyazypyr), 4-{[(6-chlorpyrid-3-yl)methyl](2,2-difluorethyl)amino}furan-2(5H)-on. The composition of the present invention is particularly effective in the presence of plant parasitic nematode and fungal species. Along with a benefit of reducing insect pressure, the inventive composition enhances the root system of a plant and improves the establishment of the biological control agent within the rhizosphere, thereby enhancing the effectiveness thereof. Use of the composition of the present invention leads to an overall reduction in crop losses caused by either plant parasitic nematodes or fungi and this reduction is much greater than would have been expected from application of either component alone. Further the compositions according to the invention display synergistic insecticidal, nematicidal, acaricidal or fungicidal activity. Also provided is a method of treating a seed, plant or soil comprising applying the composition according to the invention to a seed, plant, or to soil. Also the object of the invention is a seed treatment formulation comprising the composition according to the invention. Another object of the invention is a spray formulation for drench or in-furrow application comprising the composition according to the invention. |
