ABSTRACT:
A novel pesticidal metabolite-producing Rhodococcus globerulus strain is provided. In addition, a supernatant of the novel strains with pesticidal activity is provided. A solvent-extractable metabolite produced by the novel strain of Rhodococcus globerulus with pesticidal activity against corn rootworms is provided. Also included are methods for protecting or treating plants from corn rootworm infestations comprising the step of applying to the plant an effective amount of the novel Rhodococcus globerulus 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.
