Abstract:
Compositions and methods include a new strain of  Bacillus amyloliquefaciens  having growth promoting activity and activity against plant pathogens. The compositions are useful for benefiting plant growth and/or conferring protection against a pathogenic infection when applied to plant foliage, flowers, fruits, bark, roots, seeds, callus tissue, grafts, cuttings, surrounding soil or growth medium, and soil or growth medium concomitant with sowing seed and planting callus tissue, grafts, and cuttings. The compositions containing the  Bacillus amyloliquefaciens  RTI301 strain can be applied alone or in combination with other microbial, biological, or chemical insecticides, fungicides, nematicides, bacteriocides, herbicides, plant extracts, plant growth regulators, and fertilizers. In one example, the  Bacillus amyloliquefaciens  RTI301 strain can be delivered to the plant as part of an integrated pest management program, with other microbial or chemical insecticides, fungicides, nematicides, bacteriocides, herbicides, plant extracts, and plant growth regulators.

Claim (Index 32):
A method for one or both of benefiting growth of a plant or conferring protection against pathogenic infection in a susceptible plant, the method comprising:\n delivering a combination of:\n a first composition comprising a biologically pure culture of  Bacillus amyloliquefaciens  RTI301 deposited as ATCC No. PTA-121165, or a mutant thereof having all the identifying characteristics thereof in an amount suitable to benefit the plant growth and/or to confer protection against pathogenic infection in the susceptible plant; and \n a second composition comprising one or a combination of a microbial, a biological, or a chemical insecticide, fungicide, nematicide, bacteriocide, herbicide, plant extract, plant growth regulator, or fertilizer, in an amount suitable to benefit the plant growth and/or to confer protection against pathogenic infection in the susceptible plant, to: foliage of the plant, bark of the plant, fruit of the plant, flowers of the plant, seed of the plant, roots of the plant, a cutting of the plant, a graft of the plant, callus tissue of the plant; \n soil or growth medium surrounding the plant; soil or growth medium before sowing seed of the plant in the soil or growth medium; or soil or growth medium before planting the plant, the plant cutting, the plant graft, or the plant callus tissue in the soil or growth medium.
