Claim 12:
13. A method of treating a plant, a plant part, or the locus surrounding the plant to enhance plant growth and/or promote plant health comprising the step of simultaneously or sequentially applying:
a) recombinant exosporium-producing Bacillus cells that express a fusion protein comprising:
(i) an endoglucanase with at least 90% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 107; and
(ii) an exosporium targeting sequence, an exosporium protein, or an exosporium protein fragment comprising an exosporium targeting sequence; and

b) at least one insecticide selected from the group consisting of acetamiprid, aldicarb, amitraz, beta-cyfluthrin, carbaryl, clothianidin, cyfluthrin, cypermethrin, deltamethrin, endosulfan, ethion, ethiprole, ethoprophos, fenamiphos, fenobucarb, fenthion, fipronil, flubendiamide, fluopyram, flupyradifurone, formetanate, heptanophos, imidacloprid, methamidophos, methiocarb, methomyl, niclosamide, oxydemeton-methyl, phosalone, silafluofen, spirodiclofen, spiromesifen, spirotetramat, thiacloprid, thiodicarb, tralomethrin, triazophos, triflumuron, vamidothion, 1-{2-fluoro-4-methyl-5-[(R)-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)sulphinyl]phenyl}-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-amine, and 1-(3-chloropyridin-2-yl)-N-[4-cyano-2-methyl-6-(methylcarbamoyl)phenyl]-3-{[5-(trifluoromethyl)-2H-tetrazol-2-yl]methyl}-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxamide
in a synergistically effective amount,
wherein the recombinant Bacillus cells are derived from Bacillus thuringiensis BT013A, wherein strain BT013A has been deposited under Agricultural Research Service Culture Collection Accession NRRL No. 50924.
