Claim 0:
1. A method for enhancing of plants consisting of the steps of:
providing one or more microbial metabolites sequestered in a cyclodextrin complex;
adding the one or more microbial metabolites sequestered in the cyclodextrin complex to a suspension medium selected from the group consisting of an aqueous suspension, an aqueous emulsion and a nonpolar solvent;
applying the suspension medium with the one or more microbial metabolites sequestered in the cyclodextrin complex to a plant seed, wherein the application occurs at a level sufficient to increase a plurality of plant features selected from the group consisting of plant root development, plant growth, plant yield, resistance to drought, and plant disease resistance; and
wherein the one or more microbial metabolites includes at least one of 1-octen-3-ol, 6-pentyl pyrone or a mixture thereof and is applied to the plant seed at a level of from 0.2 to 20 microliters of at least one of 1-octen-3-ol, 6-pentyl pyrone or a mixture thereof per plant seed, and wherein, optionally, the one or more microbial metabolites further comprises at least one microbial metabolite selected from the group consisting of harzianic acid, harzinalone, hydtra 1, surfactin, iturin, esperin, fengycin, lichenysin, pumilacidin, thuricin and mixtures thereof.
