Definitions

  • compositions comprising a Quillay extract and a biopesticide
  • the present invention relates to mixtures comprising as active components a Quillay extract and a biopesticide.
  • Quillaja saponaria, Molina, the soapbark tree is an evergreen tree in the family Quillajaceae, native to warm temperate central Chile.
  • Extracts of the barksoap tree are well-known (CAS-No. 68990-67-0) and safe cosmetic, food and pharmaceutical additives e.g. used as adjuvant in vaccine solutions.
  • Such soapbark tree also called China bark extract, Murillo bark extract, Panama bark extract, Quillai extract, Quillaia extract or Quillay extract, generally comprises the milled inner bark, wood, small stems, small branches and/or leaves of the soapbark tree and contains saponins, polyphenols and other ingredients.
  • Quillay extract-based products e.g. QL Agri 35, BASF SE
  • QL Agri 35, BASF SE Quillay extract-based products
  • an acaricidal mixture comprising the Quillay extract QL Agri 35 and sulfur (Acoidal WG) is marketed by BASF SE.
  • Quillay extracts are commercially available e.g. under the trademark QL Agri 35 produced by Natural Response S.A., Quilpue, Chile, and marketed by Desert King Chile and BASF SE.
  • the water-based extraction step takes place at temperatures between 5°C and 95°C, preferably at 20°C to 90°C, even more preferably at 40°C to 90°C.
  • It contains a minimum of 6 % of saponins, 15 % polyphenols and about 35 °Brix, and has a total solids content of 350 g/l (the total solids content, or dry mass content, containing in general a residual moisture content of at most 5% by weight, preferably at most 2% by weight, based on the total weight of the solids content).
  • the percentages are weight percentages and relative to the volume of the extract.
  • One degree Brix is 1 gram of sucrose in 100 grams of solution and represents the strength of the solution as percentage by weight (% w/w) (strictly speaking, by mass). If the solution contains dissolved solids other than pure sucrose, then the °Brix is only approximate the dissolved solid content.
  • Further suitable Quillay extracts are commercially available (trademarks QL 1000, QP 1000, QL Ultra, QL 30B and Vax Sap, produced by Natural Response S.A.
  • Biopesticides in the sense of the present invention are generally as defined by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
  • Biopesticides have been defined as a form of pesticides based on micro-organisms
  • Biopesticides are typically created by growing and concentrating naturally occurring organisms and/or their metabolites including bacteria and other microbes, fungi, viruses, nematodes, proteins, etc. They are often considered to be important components of integrated pest management (IPM) programmes, and have received much practical attention as
  • PPPs synthetic chemical plant protection products
  • Biopesticides fall into two major classes, microbial and biochemical pesticides:
  • Microbial pesticides consist of bacteria, fungi or viruses (and often include the
  • Entomopathogenic nematodes are also classed as microbial pesticides, even though they are multi-cellular.
  • Biochemical pesticides are naturally occurring substances that control pests or provide other crop protection uses as defined below, but are relatively non-toxic to mammals. Biopesticides for use against crop diseases have already established themselves on a variety of crops. For example, biopesticides already play an important role in controlling downy mildew diseases. Their benefits include: a 0-Day Pre-Harvest Interval, the ability to use under moderate to severe disease pressure, and the ability to use in mixture or in a rotational program with other registered pesticides.
  • Biopesticidal seed treatments are e.g. used to control soil borne fungal pathogens that cause seed rots, damping-off, root rot and seedling blights. They can also be used to control internal seed borne fungal pathogens as well as fungal pathogens that are on the surface of the seed. Many biopesticidal products also show capacities to stimulate plant host defenses and other physiological processes that can make treated crops more resistant to a variety of biotic and abiotic stresses.
  • biopesticides under certain conditions can also have disadvantages such as high specificity: which may require an exact identification of the pest/pathogen and the use of multiple products to be used, slow speed of action (thus making them unsuitable if a pest outbreak is an immediate threat to a crop), variable efficacy due to the influences of various biotic and abiotic factors (since biopesticides are usually living organisms, which bring about pest/pathogen control by multiplying within the target insect pest/pathogen) and resistance development.
  • It is an object of the present invention overcome the abovementioned disadvantages and to provide, with a view to effective resistance management and effective control of phytopathogenic harmful fungi, insects or other pests or to effective plant growth regulation, at application rates which are as low as possible, compositions which, at a reduced total amount of active compounds applied, have improved activity against the harmful fungi or pests or improved plant growth regulating activity (synergistic mixtures) and a broadened activity spectrum, in particular for certain indications.

Again, the skilled artisan is well aware of the fact that such an amount can vary in a broad range and is dependent on various factors, e.g. the treated cultivated plant or material and the climatic conditions.
  • Healthier plants are desirable since they result among others in better yields and/or a better quality of the plants or crops, specifically better quality of the harvested plant parts. Healthier plants also better resist to biotic and/or abiotic stress. A high resistance against biotic stresses in turn allows the person skilled in the art to reduce the quantity of pesticides applied and consequently to slow down the development of resistances against the respective pesticides.
  • health of a plant or "plant health” is defined as a condition of the plant and/or its products which is determined by several aspects alone or in combination with each other such as increased yield, plant vigor, quality of harvested plant parts and tolerance to abiotic and/or biotic stress. It has to be emphasized that the above mentioned effects of the inventive mixtures, i.e. enhanced health of the plant, are also present when the plant is not under biotic stress and in particular when the plant is not under pest pressure.
  • Each plant health indicator listed below which is selected from the groups consisting of yield, plant vigor, quality and tolerance of the plant to abiotic and/or biotic stress, is to be understood as a preferred embodiment of the present invention either each on its own or preferably in combination with each other.
  • "increased yield" of a plant means that the yield of a product of the respective plant is increased by a measurable amount over the yield of the same product of the plant produced under the same conditions, but without the application of the inventive mixture.
  • increased yield can be characterized, among others, by the following improved properties of the plant: increased plant weight; and/or increased plant height; and/or increased biomass such as higher overall fresh weight (FW); and/or increased number of flowers per plant; and/or higher grain and/or fruit yield ; and/or more tillers or side shoots (branches); and/or larger leaves; and/or increased shoot growth; and/or increased protein content; and/or increased oil content; and/or increased starch content; and/or increased pigment content; and/or increased chlorophyll content (chlorophyll content has a positive correlation with the plant' s photosynthesis rate and accordingly, the higher the chlorophyll content the higher the yield of a plant) and/or increased quality of a plant.
  • Gram and “fruit” are to be understood as any plant product which is further utilized after harvesting, e.g. fruits in the proper sense, vegetables, nuts, grains, seeds, wood (e.g. in the case of silviculture plants), flowers (e.g. in the case of gardening plants, ornamentals) etc., that is anything of economic value that is produced by the plant.

  • starch content and/or increased content of fatty acids; and/or increased metabolite content; and/or increased carotenoid content; and/or increased sugar content; and/or increased amount of essential amino acids; and/or improved nutrient composition; and/or improved protein composition; and/or improved composition of fatty acids; and/or improved metabolite composition; and/or improved carotenoid composition; and/or improved sugar composition; and/or improved amino acids composition ; and/or improved or optimal fruit color; and/or improved leaf color; and/or higher storage capacity; and/or better processability of the harvested products.
  • Another indicator for the condition of the plant is the plant's tolerance or resistance to biotic and/or abiotic stress factors. Biotic and abiotic stress, especially over longer terms, can have harmful effects on plants.
  • Biotic stress is caused by living organisms while abiotic stress is caused for example by environmental extremes.
  • "enhanced tolerance or resistance to biotic and/or abiotic stress factors” means (1.) that certain negative factors caused by biotic and/or abiotic stress are diminished in a measurable or noticeable amount as compared to plants exposed to the same conditions, but without being treated with an inventive mixture and (2.) that the negative effects are not diminished by a direct action of the inventive mixture on the stress factors, e.g. by its fungicidal or insecticidal action which directly destroys the
  • Negative factors caused by biotic stress such as pathogens and pests are widely known and are caused by living organisms, such as competing plants (for example weeds), microorganisms (such as phythopathogenic fungi and/or bacteria) and/or viruses.
  • Negative factors caused by abiotic stress are also well-known and can often be observed as reduced plant vigor (see above), for example: less yield and/or less vigor, for both effects examples can be burned leaves, less flowers, pre-mature ripening, later crop maturity, reduced nutritional value amongst others.
  • Abiotic stress can be caused for example by: extremes in temperature such as heat or cold (heat stress / cold stress); and/or strong variations in temperature; and/or temperatures unusual for the specific season; and/or drought (drought stress); and/or extreme wetness; and/or high salinity (salt stress); and/or radiation (for example by increased UV radiation due to the decreasing ozone layer); and/or increased ozone levels (ozone stress); and/or organic pollution (for example by phythotoxic amounts of pesticides); and/or inorganic pollution (for example by heavy metal contaminants).

  • Microbial pesticides comprising (entomopathogenic) nematodes can be mass prepared as for use as biopesticides using in vivo or in vitro methods (Shapiro-Nan and Gaugler 2002).
  • In vivo production (culture in live insect hosts) requires a low level of technology, has low startup costs, and resulting nematode quality is generally high, yet cost efficiency is low. The approach can be considered ideal for small markets. In vivo production may be improved through innovations in mechanization and streamlining.
  • a novel alternative approach to in vivo methodology is production and application of nematodes in infected host cadavers; the cadavers (with nematodes developing inside) are distributed directly to the target site and pest suppression is subsequently achieved by the infective juveniles that emerge.
  • In vitro solid culture i.e., growing the nematodes on crumbled polyurethane foam, offers an intermediate level of technology and costs.
  • In vitro liquid culture is the most cost- efficient production method but requires the largest startup capital. Liquid culture may be improved through progress in media development, nematode recovery, and bioreactor design.

  • Optimum storage temperature for formulated nematodes varies according to species; generally, steinernematids tend to store best at 4-8 °C whereas heterorhabditids persist better at 10-15 °C.
  • Nematodes are formulated and applied as infective juveniles, the only free-living and therefore environmentally tolerant stage.
  • Infective juveniles range from 0.4 to 1.5 mm in length and can be observed with a hand lens or microscope after separation from formulation materials.
  • Disturbed nematodes move actively, however sedentary ambusher species (e.g. Steinemema carpocapsae, S. scapterisci) in water soon revert to a characteristic "J"-shaped resting position.
  • Low temperature or oxygen levels will inhibit movement of even active cruiser species (e.g., S. glaseri, Heterorhabditis bacteriophora).
  • lack of movement is not always a sign of mortality; nematodes may have to be stimulated (e.g., probes, acetic acid, gentle heat) to move before assessing viability.
  • Infective juveniles are compatible with most but not all agricultural chemicals under field conditions. Compatibility has been tested with well over 100 different chemical pesticides. Entomopathogenic nematodes are compatible (e.g., may be tank-mixed) with most chemical herbicides and fungicides as well as many insecticides (such as bacterial or fungal products) (Koppenhofer and Grewal, 2005).

Description

Compositions comprising a Quillay extract and a biopesticide
Description The present invention relates to mixtures comprising as active components a Quillay extract and a biopesticide.
Quillaja saponaria, Molina, the soapbark tree, is an evergreen tree in the family Quillajaceae, native to warm temperate central Chile.
Extracts of the barksoap tree (Quillaja saponaria Mol.) are well-known (CAS-No. 68990-67-0) and safe cosmetic, food and pharmaceutical additives e.g. used as adjuvant in vaccine solutions. Such soapbark tree, also called China bark extract, Murillo bark extract, Panama bark extract, Quillai extract, Quillaia extract or Quillay extract, generally comprises the milled inner bark, wood, small stems, small branches and/or leaves of the soapbark tree and contains saponins, polyphenols and other ingredients.
Quillays biocide activity has been previously described for instance in Apablaza et al (Fitopatologia 39, 2004, 144-149), where experiments are described about the control of cucurbitaceae oidium [Erysiphe cichoracearum DC. ex Merat and Sphaerotheca fuliginea (Schlecht ex Fr.) Poll] with the saponin-containing water-based Quillay extracts QL 1000 and QL 30B; said experiments provided satisfactory results in cucumber and pumpkins.
Quillay extract-based products (e.g. QL Agri 35, BASF SE) have been also applied as nematicides especially indicated for the control of nematodes in vineyards and citric trees.
Further, an acaricidal mixture comprising the Quillay extract QL Agri 35 and sulfur (Acoidal WG) is marketed by BASF SE.
In WO 2007/046680 an organic insecticide blend is described for the control of Aedes aegypti, comprising extracts from Quillaja saponaria, Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium
(pyrethrins), Azadirachta indica, Azadirachtin, and a garlic waterish extract.
Quillay extracts are commercially available e.g. under the trademark QL Agri 35 produced by Natural Response S.A., Quilpue, Chile, and marketed by Desert King Chile and BASF SE. Usually the water-based extraction step takes place at temperatures between 5°C and 95°C, preferably at 20°C to 90°C, even more preferably at 40°C to 90°C. It contains a minimum of 6 % of saponins, 15 % polyphenols and about 35 °Brix, and has a total solids content of 350 g/l (the total solids content, or dry mass content, containing in general a residual moisture content of at most 5% by weight, preferably at most 2% by weight, based on the total weight of the solids content). The percentages are weight percentages and relative to the volume of the extract. One degree Brix is 1 gram of sucrose in 100 grams of solution and represents the strength of the solution as percentage by weight (% w/w) (strictly speaking, by mass). If the solution contains dissolved solids other than pure sucrose, then the °Brix is only approximate the dissolved solid content. Further suitable Quillay extracts are commercially available (trademarks QL 1000, QP 1000, QL Ultra, QL 30B and Vax Sap, produced by Natural Response S.A.
Quilpue, Chile).
Biopesticides in the sense of the present invention are generally as defined by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
(http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/biopesticides/whatarebiopesticides.htm). Biopesticides have been defined as a form of pesticides based on micro-organisms
(bacteria, fungi, viruses, nematodes, etc.) or natural products (compounds or extracts from biological sources).
Biopesticides are typically created by growing and concentrating naturally occurring organisms and/or their metabolites including bacteria and other microbes, fungi, viruses, nematodes, proteins, etc. They are often considered to be important components of integrated pest management (IPM) programmes, and have received much practical attention as
substitutes to synthetic chemical plant protection products (PPPs).
Biopesticides fall into two major classes, microbial and biochemical pesticides:
(1 ) Microbial pesticides consist of bacteria, fungi or viruses (and often include the
metabolites that bacteria and fungi produce). Entomopathogenic nematodes are also classed as microbial pesticides, even though they are multi-cellular.
(2) Biochemical pesticides are naturally occurring substances that control pests or provide other crop protection uses as defined below, but are relatively non-toxic to mammals. Biopesticides for use against crop diseases have already established themselves on a variety of crops. For example, biopesticides already play an important role in controlling downy mildew diseases. Their benefits include: a 0-Day Pre-Harvest Interval, the ability to use under moderate to severe disease pressure, and the ability to use in mixture or in a rotational program with other registered pesticides.
A major growth area for biopesticides is in the area of seed treatments and soil amendments. Biopesticidal seed treatments are e.g. used to control soil borne fungal pathogens that cause seed rots, damping-off, root rot and seedling blights. They can also be used to control internal seed borne fungal pathogens as well as fungal pathogens that are on the surface of the seed. Many biopesticidal products also show capacities to stimulate plant host defenses and other physiological processes that can make treated crops more resistant to a variety of biotic and abiotic stresses.
However, biopesticides under certain conditions can also have disadvantages such as high specificity: which may require an exact identification of the pest/pathogen and the use of multiple products to be used, slow speed of action (thus making them unsuitable if a pest outbreak is an immediate threat to a crop), variable efficacy due to the influences of various biotic and abiotic factors (since biopesticides are usually living organisms, which bring about pest/pathogen control by multiplying within the target insect pest/pathogen) and resistance development.
Practical agricultural experience has shown that the repeated and exclusive application of an individual active component in the control of harmful fungi or insects or other pests leads in many cases to a rapid selection of those fungus strains or pest isolates which have developed natural or adapted resistance against the active component in question. Effective control of these fungi or pests with the active component in question is then no longer possible.
To reduce the risk of the selection of resistant fungus strains or insect isolates, mixtures of different active components are nowadays conventionally employed for controlling harmful fungi or insects or other pests. By combining active compounds and/or biopesticides having different mechanisms of action, it is possible to ensure successful control over a relatively long period of time.
It is an object of the present invention overcome the abovementioned disadvantages and to provide, with a view to effective resistance management and effective control of phytopathogenic harmful fungi, insects or other pests or to effective plant growth regulation, at application rates which are as low as possible, compositions which, at a reduced total amount of active compounds applied, have improved activity against the harmful fungi or pests or improved plant growth regulating activity (synergistic mixtures) and a broadened activity spectrum, in particular for certain indications.
We have accordingly found that this object is achieved by the mixtures and compositions defined herein, comprising a water-based Quillay extract and a biopesticide.

Humates are humic and fulvic acids extracted from a form of lignite coal and clay, known as leonardite. Humic acids are organic acids that occur in humus and other organically derived materials such as peat and certain soft coal. They have been shown to increase fertilizer efficiency in phosphate and micro-nutrient uptake by plants as well as aiding in the development of plant root systems.
Moreover, the invention also relates to a method for controlling phytopathogenic harmful fungi, insects or other pests or to a method for regulating plant growth or to a method for improving the health of the plants using mixtures of a Quillay extract and a biopesticide and to the use of the components 1 ) and 2) as defined herein for preparing such mixtures, and to compositions and seed comprising these mixtures.
In a specific embodiment of the invention, the method of the invention does not include a treatment of a human or animal body.
Moreover, we have found that simultaneous, that is joint or separate, application of a Quillay extract and a biopesticide II or successive application of a Quillay extract and a biopesticide II allows better control of harmful fungi than is possible with the individual compounds alone
(synergistic mixtures). Furthermore, synergistic effects in relation with the insecticidal, pesticidal, herbicidal, plant growth regulating and/or plant health improving action have been found with the inventive mixtures. Thus, the invention also relates to the use of a mixture of the invention as defined above or below or of an agricultural composition as defined below or of a Quillay extract in combination with at least one biopesticide II as defined above or below and optionally also in combination with at least one active component 3) as defined below for controlling phytopathogenic harmful insects and/or for controlling phytopathogenic fungi and/or for improving plant health and/or regulating plant growth.
The use of the Quillay extract "in combination with" the at least one biopesticide II on the one hand can be understood as using a physical mixture of Quillay extract and at least one biopesticide II. On the other hand, the combined use may also consist in using the Quillay extract and the at least one biopesticide II separately, but locus- and time-related (i.e. both components are applied to the same "substrate" (plant, part thereof, seed, insect, fungus, habitat of the insect or of the fungus, soil etc.) within a sufficiently short time of one another), so that the desired effect can take place. More detailed illustrations of the combined use can be found in the specifications below.
According to one embodiment, the mixtures comprise component 1 ) and component 2) in a synergistically effective amount.
The active component 1 ) of the mixture can be found on the basis of the soap bark tree (Quillaja saponaria), from wood, branches and the bark of the tree, which are milled. Quillaja can as well be used as an extract of flakes from branches and the bark from the soap bark tree. The extract can be based on pure water extraction or a blend of water and alcohol as a means of extraction. The extract can be used as a liquid product or it can be spray dried. The abovementioned commercially available extracts are also suitable.
According to one embodiment, the mixtures comprise as component 1 ) a water-based Quillay extract. The term "water-based Quillay extract" is to be understood that the extract of the material of the Quillay tree is obtained by solid-liquid extraction wherein the liquid is water or a water-based solution comprising water-soluble solvents (such as alcohols, e.g. ethanol, propanol, butanol, benzylalcohol, cyclohexanol; glycols; DMSO; ketones, e.g. cyclohexanone; esters) and/or other auxiliaries (such as liquid carriers, solid carriers or fillers, surfactants, dispersants, emulsifiers, wetters, adjuvants, solubilizers, penetration enhancers, protective colloids, adhesion agents, thickeners, humectants, bactericides, anti-freezing agents, anti- foaming agents, tackifiers and binders).
In some embodiments of the invention, the Quillay extract is obtained by extraction from the Quillay tree by employing water, alcohol or a water/alcohol solution. In some embodiments, the alcohol is ethanol or methanol.
In some embodiments, the extraction is achieved by employing a water/alcohol solution. In some embodiments, the water/alcohol solution has a water/alcohol ratio of from 80:20 to 20:80. In further embodiments, the water/alcohol solution has a water/alcohol ratio of from 60:40 to 40:60. In further embodiments, the water/alcohol solution is 80:20 water/alcohol, 60:40 water/alcohol, 50:50 water/alcohol, 40:60 water/ alcohol ratio or 20:80 water/alcohol. The water/alcohol ratios given are volume/volume. Specifically, the extractant is water.
The extraction time may vary without limitation from 1 to 8 hours, at or above room temperature (20°C-30°C), e.g., above 30°C, 40°C, 50°C or 60°C. In some embodiments, the extraction is carried out at a temperature between 30°C and 70°C.
In some embodiments, the extraction process comprising: treating the Quillay material in a water or water/alcohol solution.
Optionally, the so-extracted material may subsequently be purified by any means known in the art, including: filtration, centrifugation, re-crystallization, distillation, adsorption, chromatographic methods, fractionation, etc.
In some embodiments, the Quillay material is first dried and ground before being treated in the water or water/alcohol solution.
Optionally, the Quillay extract may be concentrated e.g. by evaporating or drying the extract- containing solution to obtain a concentrated liquid extract or a dried extract.
According to a further embodiment, the Quillay extract contains a minimum of 2 % of saponins and 5 % polyphenols and at least 15 °Brix; more preferably a minimum of 4 % of saponins and 10 % polyphenols and at least 25 °Brix. The percentages are weight percentages and relative to the volume of the extract. In an alternative embodiment, the Quillay extract contains a minimum of 5 % by weight of saponins and at least 10 % by weight of polyphenols, relative to the dry mass of the extract, and at least 15 °Brix; e.g. at least 9 % by weight of saponins and at least 20 % by weight of polyphenols, relative to the dry mass of the extract, and at least 15 °Brix; more preferably a minimum of 4 % by weight of saponins and at least 10 % by weight of polyphenols, relative to the dry mass of the extract, and at least 25 °Brix; e.g. at least 10 % by weight of saponins and at least 25 % by weight of polyphenols, relative to the dry mass of the extract, and at least 25 °Brix. The dry mass contains at most 5% by weight, preferably at most 2% by weight of residual liquid components, such as extractants (in general water, possibly also alcohol; mostly however residual moisture), based on the total weight of the dry mass.
In a specific embodiment, the Quillay extract is obtained by a process as described for example in CL 2573-2002. Chipped or milled wood, branches and/or the bark or flakes from branches and/or the bark of Quillaja saponaria are submitted to a solid/liquid extraction process using water as extractant. The extraction temperature may vary between 20 and 95°C (i.e. is of from 20 to 95°C), e.g. 40 to 90°C, but is specifically ca. 60°C (+/- 10°C, preferably +/- 5°C). The extraction time is in inverse proportion to the extraction temperature and is in general of from 0.5 to 5 h. For an extraction temperature of ca. 60°C, it is specifically ca. 2 to 3 h. After extraction, undesired products are generally removed. To this purpose, clarifying (precipitation- inducing) additives, such as albumen, bovine or fish gelatin, polyvinyl pyrrolidone (OVP), polyvinyl polypyrrolidone (PVPP), silica or, in particular, bentonite are added. Filtration of the mixture over suitable means, e.g. over diatomaceous earth or silica pads, is followed by concentration and pasteurization. For preservation purposes, the concentrate is brought to a pH of 3-4, especially 3.5 to 4.5, very especially ca. 3.9 (+/- 0.2). Very specifically, the Quillay extract used is QL Agri® 35. Further details of this product are given above and in the examples (minimum of 6 % of saponins, ca. 15 % polyphenols, about 35 °Brix, ca. 350 g/l of solids content).
According to a further embodiment, the present invention relates to mixtures comprising, as active components
1 ) a Quillay extract;
and
2) at least one biopesticide II selected from the groups A) to F'):

The inverntive mixtures comprising a Quillay extract and microbial pesticide from groups A'), C) and E') may be formulated as an inoculant for a plant. The term "inoculant" means a preparation that includes an isolated culture of a microbial pesticide and optionally a carrier, which may include a biologically acceptable medium.
The abovementioned microbial pesticides may be isolated or substantially purified. The terms "isolated" or "substantially purified" refers to microbial pesticides that have been removed from a natural environment and have been isolated or separated, and are at least 60% free, preferably at least 75% free, and more preferably at least 90% free, even more preferably at least 95% free, and most preferably at least 100% free from other components with which they were naturally associated. An "isolated culture" refers to a culture of the microbial pesticides that does not include significant amounts of other materials such as other materials which normally are found in natural habitat in which the microbial pesticides grows and/or from which the microbial pesticides normally may be obtained. An "isolated culture" may be a culture that does not include any other biological, microorganism, and/or bacterial species in quantities sufficient to interfere with the replication of the "isolated culture." Isolated cultures of microbial pesticides may be combined to prepare a mixed culture of microbial pesticides.
Herein, microbial pesticides may be supplied in any physiological state such as active or dormant. Dormant microbial pesticides may be supplied for example frozen, dried, or lyophilized or partly desiccated (procedures to produce these partly desiccated organisms are given in WO2008/002371 ) or in form of spores.
The invention also relates to a method for controlling phytopathogenic harmful fungi and/or harmful insects using mixtures of a water-based Quillay extract and a water-based Acacia negra extract and to the use of a water-based Quillay extract and a water-based Acacia negra extract for preparing such mixtures, and to compositions comprising these mixtures and seed comprising these mixtures or coated with this this mixture.
The mixtures and compositions thereof according to the invention can, in the use form as fungicides and/or insecticides, also be present together with other active substances, e. g. with herbicides, insecticides, growth regulators, fungicides or else with fertilizers, as pre-mix or, if appropriate, not until immeadiately prior to use (tank mix).
Mixing a water-based Quillay extract and a water-based Acacia negra extract and the compositions comprising them, respectively, in the use form as fungicide with other fungicides results in many cases in an expansion of the fungicidal spectrum of activity or in a prevention of fungicide resistance development. Furthermore, in many cases, synergistic effects are obtained.
Mixing a water-based Quillay extract and a water-based Acacia negra extract and the compositions comprising them, respectively, in the use form as insecticide with other

The term "plant propagation material" is to be understood to denote all the generative parts of the plant such as seeds and vegetative plant material such as cuttings and tubers (e. g.
potatoes), which can be used for the multiplication of the plant. This includes seeds, roots, fruits, tubers, bulbs, rhizomes, shoots, sprouts and other parts of plants, including seedlings and young plants, which are to be transplanted after germination or after emergence from soil.
These young plants may also be protected before transplantation by a total or partial treatment by immersion or pouring.
Preferably, treatment of plant propagation materials with the inventive combination of the Quillay extract and compounds II and compositions thereof, respectively, is used for controlling a multitude of fungi on cereals, such as wheat, rye, barley and oats; rice, corn, cotton and soybeans.
The term "cultivated plants" is to be understood as including plants which have been modified by breeding, mutagenesis or genetic engineering including but not limiting to agricultural biotech products on the market or in development (cf. http://cera-gmc.org/, see GM crop database therein). Genetically modified plants are plants, which genetic material has been so modified by the use of recombinant DNA techniques that under natural circumstances cannot readily be obtained by cross breeding, mutations or natural recombination. Typically, one or more genes have been integrated into the genetic material of a genetically modified plant in order to improve certain properties of the plant. Such genetic modifications also include but are not limited to targeted post-transtional modification of protein(s), oligo- or polypeptides e. g. by glycosylation or polymer additions such as prenylated, acetylated or farnesylated moieties or PEG moieties.

In an equally preferred embodiment, the present invention relates to a method for controlling animal pests (insects, acarids or nematodes), wherein the animal pests (insects, acarids or nematodes), their habitat, breeding grounds, their locus or the plants to be protected against animal pest (insects, acarids or nematodes) attack are treated with an effective amount of an inventive mixture comprising the Quillay extract and biopesticide II.
In an equally preferred embodiment, the present invention relates to a method for improving the health of plants, wherein the plants are treated with an effective amount of an inventive mixture.
In general, "pesticidally effective amount" means the amount of the inventive mixtures or of compositions comprising the mixtures needed to achieve an observable effect on growth, including the effects of necrosis, death, retardation, prevention, and removal, destruction, or otherwise diminishing the occurrence and activity of the target organism. The pesticidally effective amount can vary for the various mixtures / compositions used in the invention. A pesticidally effective amount of the mixtures / compositions will also vary according to the prevailing conditions such as desired pesticidal effect and duration, weather, target species, locus, mode of application, and the like.
The term "plant health effective amount" denotes an amount of the inventive mixtures, which is sufficient for achieving plant health effects as defined herein below. More exemplary information about amounts, ways of application and suitable ratios to be used is given below. Anyway, the skilled artisan is well aware of the fact that such an amount can vary in a broad range and is dependent on various factors, e.g. the treated cultivated plant or material and the climatic conditions.
Healthier plants are desirable since they result among others in better yields and/or a better quality of the plants or crops, specifically better quality of the harvested plant parts. Healthier plants also better resist to biotic and/or abiotic stress. A high resistance against biotic stresses in turn allows the person skilled in the art to reduce the quantity of pesticides applied and consequently to slow down the development of resistances against the respective pesticides.
It was therefore an object of the present invention to provide a pesticidal composition which solves the problems outlined above, and which should, in particular, improve the health of plants, in particular the yield of plants.
The term "health of a plant" or "plant health" is defined as a condition of the plant and/or its products which is determined by several aspects alone or in combination with each other such as increased yield, plant vigor, quality of harvested plant parts and tolerance to abiotic and/or biotic stress. It has to be emphasized that the above mentioned effects of the inventive mixtures, i.e. enhanced health of the plant, are also present when the plant is not under biotic stress and in particular when the plant is not under pest pressure.
For seed treatment e.g. as inoculant and/or foliar application forms, it is evident that a plant suffering from fungal or insecticidal attack produces a smaller biomass and leads to a reduced yield as compared to a plant which has been subjected to curative or preventive treatment against the pathogenic fungus or any other relevant pest and which can grow without the damage caused by the biotic stress factor. However, the methods according to the invention lead to an enhanced plant health even in the absence of any biotic stress. This means that the positive effects of the mixtures of the invention cannot be explained just by the pesticidal activities of the compounds (I) and (II), but are based on further activity profiles. Accordingly, the application of the inventive mixtures can also be carried out in the absence of pest pressure.
Each plant health indicator listed below, which is selected from the groups consisting of yield, plant vigor, quality and tolerance of the plant to abiotic and/or biotic stress, is to be understood as a preferred embodiment of the present invention either each on its own or preferably in combination with each other.
According to the present invention, "increased yield" of a plant means that the yield of a product of the respective plant is increased by a measurable amount over the yield of the same product of the plant produced under the same conditions, but without the application of the inventive mixture.
For seed treatment e.g. as inoculant and/or foliar application forms, increased yield can be characterized, among others, by the following improved properties of the plant: increased plant weight; and/or increased plant height; and/or increased biomass such as higher overall fresh weight (FW); and/or increased number of flowers per plant; and/or higher grain and/or fruit yield ; and/or more tillers or side shoots (branches); and/or larger leaves; and/or increased shoot growth; and/or increased protein content; and/or increased oil content; and/or increased starch content; and/or increased pigment content; and/or increased chlorophyll content (chlorophyll content has a positive correlation with the plant' s photosynthesis rate and accordingly, the higher the chlorophyll content the higher the yield of a plant) and/or increased quality of a plant.
"Grain" and "fruit" are to be understood as any plant product which is further utilized after harvesting, e.g. fruits in the proper sense, vegetables, nuts, grains, seeds, wood (e.g. in the case of silviculture plants), flowers (e.g. in the case of gardening plants, ornamentals) etc., that is anything of economic value that is produced by the plant.
According to the present invention, the yield is increased by at least 4%. In general, the yield increase may even be higher, for example 5 to 10 %, more preferable by 10 to 20 %, or even 20 to 30 %
According to the present invention, the yield - if measured in the absence of pest pressure - is increased by at least 2 % In general, the yield increase may even be higher, for example until 4% to 5% or even more.
Another indicator for the condition of the plant is the plant vigor. The plant vigor becomes manifest in several aspects such as the general visual appearance.
For foliar applications, improved plant vigor can be characterized, among others, by the following improved properties of the plant: improved vitality of the plant; and/or improved plant growth; and/or improved plant development; and/or improved visual appearance; and/or improved plant stand (less plant verse/lodging and/or bigger leaf blade; and/or bigger size; and/or increased plant height; and/or increased tiller number; and/or increased number of side shoots; and/or increased number of flowers per plant; and/or increased shoot growth; and/or enhanced photosynthetic activity (e.g. based on increased stomatal conductance and/or increased CO2 assimilation rate)); and/or earlier flowering; and/or earlier fruiting; and/or earlier grain maturity; and/or less non-productive tillers; and/or less dead basal leaves; and/or less input needed (such as fertilizers or water); and/or greener leaves; and/or complete maturation under shortened vegetation periods; and/or easier harvesting; and/or faster and more uniform ripening; and/or longer shelf-life; and/or longer panicles; and/or delay of senescence ; and/or stronger and/or more productive tillers; and/or better extractability of ingredients; and/or improved quality of seeds (for being seeded in the following seasons for seed production);
and/or reduced production of ethylene and/or the inhibition of its reception by the plant.
Another indicator for the condition of the plant is the "quality" of a plant and/or its products. According to the present invention, enhanced quality means that certain plant characteristics such as the content or composition of certain ingredients are increased or improved by a measurable or noticeable amount over the same factor of the plant produced under the same conditions, but without the application of the mixtures of the present invention. Enhanced quality can be characterized, among others, by following improved properties of the plant or its product: increased nutrient content; and/or increased protein content; and/or increased oil content;
and/or increased starch content; and/or increased content of fatty acids; and/or increased metabolite content; and/or increased carotenoid content; and/or increased sugar content; and/or increased amount of essential amino acids; and/or improved nutrient composition; and/or improved protein composition; and/or improved composition of fatty acids; and/or improved metabolite composition; and/or improved carotenoid composition; and/or improved sugar composition; and/or improved amino acids composition ; and/or improved or optimal fruit color; and/or improved leaf color; and/or higher storage capacity; and/or better processability of the harvested products.
Another indicator for the condition of the plant is the plant's tolerance or resistance to biotic and/or abiotic stress factors. Biotic and abiotic stress, especially over longer terms, can have harmful effects on plants.
Biotic stress is caused by living organisms while abiotic stress is caused for example by environmental extremes. According to the present invention, "enhanced tolerance or resistance to biotic and/or abiotic stress factors" means (1.) that certain negative factors caused by biotic and/or abiotic stress are diminished in a measurable or noticeable amount as compared to plants exposed to the same conditions, but without being treated with an inventive mixture and (2.) that the negative effects are not diminished by a direct action of the inventive mixture on the stress factors, e.g. by its fungicidal or insecticidal action which directly destroys the
microorganisms or pests, but rather by a stimulation of the plants' own defensive reactions against said stress factors.
Negative factors caused by biotic stress such as pathogens and pests are widely known and are caused by living organisms, such as competing plants (for example weeds), microorganisms (such as phythopathogenic fungi and/or bacteria) and/or viruses.
Negative factors caused by abiotic stress are also well-known and can often be observed as reduced plant vigor (see above), for example: less yield and/or less vigor, for both effects examples can be burned leaves, less flowers, pre-mature ripening, later crop maturity, reduced nutritional value amongst others.
Abiotic stress can be caused for example by: extremes in temperature such as heat or cold (heat stress / cold stress); and/or strong variations in temperature; and/or temperatures unusual for the specific season; and/or drought (drought stress); and/or extreme wetness; and/or high salinity (salt stress); and/or radiation (for example by increased UV radiation due to the decreasing ozone layer); and/or increased ozone levels (ozone stress); and/or organic pollution (for example by phythotoxic amounts of pesticides); and/or inorganic pollution (for example by heavy metal contaminants).
As a result of biotic and/or abiotic stress factors, the quantity and the quality of the stressed plants decrease. As far as quality (as defined above) is concerned, reproductive development is usually severely affected with consequences on the crops which are important for fruits or seeds. Synthesis, accumulation and storage of proteins are mostly affected by temperature; growth is slowed by almost all types of stress; polysaccharide synthesis, both structural and storage is reduced or modified: these effects result in a decrease in biomass (yield) and in changes in the nutritional value of the product.
As pointed out above, the above identified indicators for the health condition of a plant may be interdependent and may result from each other. For example, an increased resistance to biotic and/or abiotic stress may lead to a better plant vigor, e.g. to better and bigger crops, and thus to an increased yield. Inversely, a more developed root system may result in an increased resistance to biotic and/or abiotic stress. However, these interdependencies and interactions are neither all known nor fully understood and therefore the different indicators are described separately.
In one embodiment the inventive mixtures effectuate an increased yield of a plant or its product. In another embodiment the inventive mixtures effectuate an increased vigor of a plant or its product. In another embodiment the inventive mixtures effectuate in an increased quality of a plant or its product. In yet another embodiment the inventive mixtures effectuate an increased tolerance and/or resistance of a plant or its product against biotic stress. In yet another embodiment the inventive mixtures effectuate an increased tolerance and/or resistance of a plant or its product against abiotic stress.

In vivo production (culture in live insect hosts) requires a low level of technology, has low startup costs, and resulting nematode quality is generally high, yet cost efficiency is low. The approach can be considered ideal for small markets. In vivo production may be improved through innovations in mechanization and streamlining. A novel alternative approach to in vivo methodology is production and application of nematodes in infected host cadavers; the cadavers (with nematodes developing inside) are distributed directly to the target site and pest suppression is subsequently achieved by the infective juveniles that emerge. In vitro solid culture, i.e., growing the nematodes on crumbled polyurethane foam, offers an intermediate level of technology and costs. In vitro liquid culture is the most cost- efficient production method but requires the largest startup capital. Liquid culture may be improved through progress in media development, nematode recovery, and bioreactor design. A variety of formulations have been developed to facilitate nematode storage and application including activated charcoal, alginate and polyacrylamide gels, baits, clay, paste, peat, polyurethane sponge, vermiculite, and water-dispersible granules. Depending on the formulation and nematode species, successful storage under refrigeration ranges from one to seven months. Optimum storage temperature for formulated nematodes varies according to species; generally, steinernematids tend to store best at 4-8 °C whereas heterorhabditids persist better at 10-15 °C. Nematodes are formulated and applied as infective juveniles, the only free-living and therefore environmentally tolerant stage. Infective juveniles range from 0.4 to 1.5 mm in length and can be observed with a hand lens or microscope after separation from formulation materials. Disturbed nematodes move actively, however sedentary ambusher species (e.g. Steinemema carpocapsae, S. scapterisci) in water soon revert to a characteristic "J"-shaped resting position. Low temperature or oxygen levels will inhibit movement of even active cruiser species (e.g., S. glaseri, Heterorhabditis bacteriophora). In short, lack of movement is not always a sign of mortality; nematodes may have to be stimulated (e.g., probes, acetic acid, gentle heat) to move before assessing viability. Good quality nematodes tend to possess high lipid levels that provide a dense appearance, whereas nearly transparent nematodes are often active but possess low powers of infection. Infective juveniles are compatible with most but not all agricultural chemicals under field conditions. Compatibility has been tested with well over 100 different chemical pesticides. Entomopathogenic nematodes are compatible (e.g., may be tank-mixed) with most chemical herbicides and fungicides as well as many insecticides (such as bacterial or fungal products) (Koppenhofer and Grewal, 2005).
According to the invention, the solid material (dry matter) of the Quillay extract and the biopesticides (with the exception of oils such as Neem oil, Tagetes oil, etc.) are considered as active components (e.g. to be obtained after drying or evaporation of the extraction medium or the suspension medium in case of liquid formulations of the microbial pesticides).
In accordance with the present invention, the weight ratios and percentages used herein for the Quillay extract and/or other biological extracts are based on the total weight of the dry content (solid material) of the respective extract(s). For microbial pesticides II selected from groups A'), C) and E'), weight ratios and/or percentages refer to the total weight of a preparation of the respective biopesticide II with at least 1 x 106 CFU/g ("colony forming units per gram total weight"), preferably with at least 1 x 108 CFU/g, even more preferably from 1 x 108 to 1 x 1012 CFU/g dry matter. Colony forming unit is measure of viable microbial cells, in particular fungal and bacterial cells. In addition, here CFU may also be understood as number of (juvenile) individual nematodes in case of (entomopathogenic) nematode biopesticides, such as Steinemema feltiae.
The total weight ratios of compositions wherein component 2) is selected from groups A), C), or E') can be determined based on the total weight of the solid material (dry matter) of component 1 ) and using the amount of CFU of component 2) to calclulate the total weight of component 2) with the following equation that 1 x 109 CFU equals one gram of total weight of component 2):
The agrochemical compositions generally are characterized in that they contain an effective quantity of the active components as defined above. Generally, they contain between 0.01 and 95%, preferably between 0.1 and 90%, and in particular between 0.5 and 75%, by weight of active components.

According to another embodiment, the compositions, wherein component 2) is selected from groups A'), C) and E'), comprise between 25 and 70% (w/w) of dry matter (solid material) of component 1 ) and from 1 x 107 CFU to 1 x 109 CFU of component 2) per gram total weight of the composition.
Solutions for seed treatment (LS), suspoemulsions (SE), flowable concentrates (FS), powders for dry treatment (DS), water-dispersible powders for slurry treatment (WS), water- soluble powders (SS), emulsions (ES), emulsifiable concentrates (EC) and gels (GF) are usually employed for the purposes of treatment of plant propagation materials, particularly seeds. The compositions in question give, after two-to-tenfold dilution, active components concentrations of from 0.01 to 60% by weight, preferably from 0.1 to 40%, in the ready-to-use preparations.
Application can be carried out before or during sowing. Methods for applying or treating with the Quillay extract and biopesticide II and compositions thereof, respectively, on to plant propagation material, especially seeds include dressing, coating, pelleting, dusting, soaking and in-furrow application methods of the propagation material. Preferably, the Quillay extract and biopesticide II or the compositions thereof, respectively, are applied on to the plant propagation material by a method such that germination is not induced, e. g. by seed dressing, pelleting, coating and dusting.
When employed in plant protection, the total amounts of active components applied are, depending on the kind of effect desired, from 0.001 to 10 kg per ha, preferably from 0.005 to 2 kg per ha, more preferably from 0.05 to 0.9 kg per ha, in particular from 0.1 to 0.75 kg per ha. In the case of microbial pesticides II, the application rates preferably range from about 1 x 106 to 5 x 1015 (or more) CFU/ha.

When used in the protection of materials or stored products, the amount of active
components applied depends on the kind of application area and on the desired effect. Amounts customarily applied in the protection of materials are 0.001 g to 2 kg, preferably 0.005 g to 1 kg, of active components per cubic meter of treated material.
Various types of oils, wetters, adjuvants, fertilizer, or micronutrients, and further pesticides (e.g. herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, growth regulators, safeners) may be added to the active substances or the compositions comprising them as premix or, if appropriate not until immediately prior to use (tank mix).

This means that the relative amount, i.e. the weight ratio of the Quillay extract and the at least one component 2) in the mixture or composition provides for an increased insecticidal efficacy on at least one harmful insect and/or for an increased fungicidal efficacy on at least one harmful fungus and/or an increased efficacy on plant health improvement and/or plant growth regulating effect which exceeds the additive efficacy of the components of the mixture or composition as calculated from the efficacy of the individual components at a given application rate.
The term "synergstic effect" is understood to refer in particular to that defined by Colby's formula (Colby, S. R., "Calculating synergistic and antagonistic responses of herbicide combinations", Weeds, 15, pp. 20-22, 1967).
The term "synergistic effect" is also understood to refer to that defined by application of the Tammes method, (Tammes, P. M. L, "Isoboles, a graphic representation of synergism in pesticides", Netherl. J. Plant Pathol. 70, 1964).
The components can be used individually or already partially or completely mixed with one another to prepare the composition according to the invention. It is also possible for them to be packaged and used as combination such as a kit of parts. Examples
1 . Activity of Quillay extract in combination with Bacillus thuringensis kurstaki against codling moth (Cydia pomonella) in apple
The experiments were carried out in Requinoa VI Region (100 km South to Santiago). For the experiments 12 year old apple trees var. Braueburn in an orchard standing at a distance 3,5 meters over the row and 4 meters between the rows were used. Before application, all plots for every treatment were marked and the fruits with Cydia pomonella damage were recolected. The design was a randomized complete block with an experimental unit (plot) of four trees; repetition with four replications by treatment. In February 2012 the plants were either treated with a Quillay extract alone (used in form of the commercial product QL Agri® 35 from BASF; a soluble concentrate containing 35% by weight of solid matter, relative to the total weight of the concentrate; application rate: 315 g of solid matter per ha), or with Bacillus thuringensis kurstaki alone (used in form of the commercial product BETK-03 WP from Bionativa, Chile, a wettable powder containing 1 .8% by weight of three different Bacillus thuringiensis kurstaki strains; application rate: 16.2 g/ha) or with a combination of Quillay extract and Bacillus thuringensis kurstakis (315 g of solid matter per ha + 16.2 g/ha). A part of the plants remained untreated (control). For application, a 240 liters sprayer with a constant operation pressure and coverage of 1800 liters of water per hectare was used. 7, 15, 21 and 28 days after spraying a
representative sample of 25 fruits by plot was taken and the number of fruit with damage was counted. For determinating the efficacy control of the different treatments the Abbot formula was used.
Efficacy degree % = (infestation in untreated - infestation in treated) x 100
infestation in untreated
