ABSTRACT:
A method is disclosed for enhancing the biocontrol effect of microbial biocontrol agents used to combat fungal plant disease. The microbial biocontrol agent is fermented, formulated, or packaged in the presence of deactivated target pathogen such as a culture lethally heated pathogenic fungus. The treated biocontrol agent is enhanced in its activity by the contact with the inactivated pathogen.
