FIELD OF INVENTION
[0001] The present invention concerns a compounded aggressin derived from a bioextract mixture for controlling and preventing phytopathogenic xanthomonad infections in agriculture related crops. This invention is based on the principles of inducing resistance against phytopathogenic xanthomonads using a combined mixture of bioextracts from non-phytopathogenic Xanthomonas spp., Trichoderma harzianum, and from the plant Yucca schidigera. The method is environmentally safe and affords plant protection against a variety of Xanthomonas spp. and their pathovariants. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The genus Xanthomonas Dowson 1939 compromises a diverse group of gram-negative, obligate aerobic, non-fermentative, rods which are motile by a single polar flagellum, and can produce a brominated yellow pigment identified as xanthomonadin. All reported strains of this genus have been described as plant associated, and most are reported as being pathogenic to a particular pl...
