ABSTRACT:
A novel pesticidal metabolite-producing Bacillus pumilus strain is provided. In addition, a supernatant of the novel strain with pesticidal activity is provided. A solvent-extractable, small molecular weight (<10,000 daltons) metabolite produced by the novel strain of Bacillus pumilus with pesticidal activity against corn rootworm, beet armyworm and nematodes is provided. Also included are methods for protecting or treating plants from corn rootworm, nematode and beet armyworm infestations comprising the step of applying to the plant an effective amount of the novel Bacillus pumilus strain, the metabolite produced by the novel strain or a combination thereof, optionally, further comprising applying another pesticidal metabolite-producing bacterial strain and/or a chemical pesticide.
