Claim 4:
5. A method for enhancement 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 a cyclodextrin complex to a suspension medium selected from the group consisting of an aqueous suspension, an aqueous emulsion and a nonpolar solvent;
coating the suspension medium with the one or more microbial metabolites sequestered in the cyclodextrin complex onto an agricultural application granule to form a coated agricultural application granule;
applying the coated agricultural application granule to one or more locations in, on, around, proximal to or by a plant, a plant seed, a plant crop, or a plant root, wherein the application occurs at the location 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 coated onto the agricultural application granule 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 gram of agricultural application granule, 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.
