ABSTRACT:
The subject invention concerns a novel bioherbicide and its use to control major weeds found in many fields in the United States. Specifically, Alternaria euphorbiicola Simmons and Engelhard, having the identifying characteristics of culture deposit NRRL 18227, in an agricultural composition, can be used to effectively control wild poinsettia and weedy spurges. Further, Alternaria euphorbiicola Simmons and Engelhard, having the idenfifying characteristics of deposit NRRL 18227, in a mixture with Alternaria cassiae, can be used to control wild poinsettia and weedy spurges and other undesired vegetation, such as sicklepod, showy crotalaria, and coffee senna. Further, the bioherbicide of the invention can be mixed with a chemical herbicide to increase weed control.
