Abstract
This invention pertains to a composition, which is a natural and organic pesticide, specifically for mitigating, controlling and treating fungicidal, virucidal and bactericidal pathogenic microorganisms in agricultural products such as root crops, fruits and vegetables. Examples of such disease-causing microorganisms are Mycosphaerella fijensis causing black Sigatoka disease in Cavendish (banana), Ralstonia solanacearum causing Moko disease in Cavendish (banana), Lasiodiplodia theobromae causing soft rot or fruit rot in crops and fruits, Fusarium oxysporum causing Panama wilt in fruits and crops, and many others. The composition is a fermented product of tropical plants, carbon source, protein (nitrogen) source, and a carrier agent. The fermented product may help strengthen the plant's immune system to fight pathogenic diseases. Since all the major constituents of the composition are generally regarded as safe, this natural pesticide is found to be non-toxic and safe to humans and animals, and environmentally benign.
Description
2 TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
BE IT KNOWN THAT I, Jose Alejandro Rodriguez Quintero, a resident of Palmira, Valle del Cauca, Colombia and a citizen of Colombia, have invented certain new and useful improvements in BIO-DERIVED COMPOSITIONS FOR USE IN AGRICULTURE
of which the following is a specification.
BIO-DERIVED COMPOSITIONS FOR USE IN AGRICULTURE
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to compositions and method for controlling plant diseases. More particularly, the invention relates to a composition prepared via microbiological fermentation and a method of use thereof for application to crop plants and soils for controlling plant diseases caused by pathogenic microorganisms.
This invention also relates generally to the field of compositions and methods for controlling of pests and pest populations which are known to be having a detrimental effect on human life and human activities. The invention also focuses on the isolation of these biopesticide compositions and formulations that are known to possess pesticidal properties and are derived from natural sources having biological origin which have been fermented with microroganisms.
The invention more particularly describes the isolation and characterization, including but not confined to, novel biopesticide compositions possessing pesticidal attributes along with other pharmaceutically important attributes so as to also function as effective biocontrol agents.
The instant invention also relates to bio-pesticidal compositions or agents which exhibit excellent effects and in which there is no risk of pollution being caused thereby; and to a method for the use thereof. More particularly, the present invention relates to bio-pesticidal compositions for agricultural and horticultural use which comprise or consist of fermented products and a carrier for agricultural and horticultural formulation.
The present invention also concerns a novel method to treat, prevent and protect plants and agricultural plants from pathogenic attack and pest attacks. The present invention more particularly concerns a method of applying selected fermented products and compositions to a agricultural crops and its locus to treat, prevent and immunize, vis. induce local and systemic resistance of the crop against pesticidal and fungal diseases, wherein such action is referred to in this application as "induced plant defense". Such fermented compositions are applied directly to the plant or soil treat or prevent pesticidal diseases in plants and enhance its own immunization capacity via altering their metabolism.
This invention also pertains to products to treat rice diseases such as sheath blight, bacterial panicle blight, the tarsonemid mite and other diseases.
The invention also relates to fungicidal compositions and their applications in agriculture, and more particularly to fungicidal compositions that are particularly effective for the prevention of fungal damage and for the treatment of fungal diseases in plants and plant propagation material.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Farming is the oldest wealth-creating business known to man. Current scientific strategies to maintain and improve yields in support of high-input agriculture place great emphasis on 'fail-safe' techniques for each component of the production sequence with little consideration of the integration of these components in a holistic, systems approach. Research for sustainable agricultural practices requires a far greater emphasis on such an approach than now is fashionable, despite all the rhetoric given politically to sustainability.
The populations of the world's poorest countries have been growing rapidly, increasing the demand for food. At the same time environmental degradation--both natural and man made--has reduced the ability of farmers to grow food in many areas. A lot has been written about the significant contribution due to "Green Revolution" and correctly so, especially considering our failure to control unsustainable population growth. Hardly any one argues that modern

3 agriculture is sustainable. Besides, high input agriculture is increasingly recognized as an environment degrading and not profitable. We now recognize that technical progress may have social and environmental costs we cannot pay. People are now seriously concerned with the protection of the environment and even more about safeguarding their health.
As now people realize that by consuming the standard agriculture based food products they are constantly taking in small quantities of poison of various kinds and much of this comes from the chemical pesticides that are used to produce food crops.
Modern farming requires large inputs of chemical fertilizer and stimulants to increase yields from hybrids. However for poor rural marginal farmers the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides have made agriculture very expensive and to maintain yields in deteriorating soils increasing doses of modern chemical inputs have had to be used. The time has now come to consider alternative means of sustaining our agriculture and to protect the farmer from low prices, high indebtedness and to ensure that production incentives remain. For small farmers, organic farming is most suitable as considerable vertical integration is possible and appreciable cost savings could be achieved through the recycling of waste and other materials that are available within the system.
A considerable amount of literature is available on the practice of organic farming.
Where organic farming is practiced, the farmer will use natural processes to enhance productivity, maintain the nutritive status of the soil to be less dependent on external resources and to keep his costs down. This will strengthen his social and financial position in the society.
Organic farming uses natural materials which are the by products of the farm and are environmentally safe, it enhances the nutritive qualities of the soil and it nurtures the organisms in the soils, which are generally destroyed by the use of chemical manures and pesticides, and

4 significantly reduces cost. Therefore, at this juncture further work on the development of agricultural biotechnology products based on natural products offers immense potential as viable alternative for sustainable agriculture.
Plants have remained central to every civilization as the primary source of life, due to their numerous applications in daily life. Plants are composed of chemical substances of which some are not directly beneficial for the growth and development of the organism. These secondary compounds have usually been regarded as a part of the plants' defense against plant-feeding insects and other herbivores. The pesticidal properties of many plants have been known for a long time and natural pesticides based on plant extracts such as rotenone, nicotine and pyrethrum have been commonly used in pest control.
Disease caused by various microorganisms such as fungi, bacteria, and viruses not only damage the plant as a whole but also severely affect quality of the crop. A
number of physiological and biochemical alterations in the plants have been reported due to infection by fungi, bacteria, and viruses.
Improving soil fertility is one of the most common tactics to increase agricultural and forest production. Soil organisms, especially bacteria have a key role in determining the rate of organic matter decomposition and thereby nutrient mineralization. These processes determine the rate of nutrient supply to primary producers, largely determining the rate of biomass production and other fundamental ecosystem processes like interactions among different functional groups of organisms that constitute ecosystems. Therefore, elucidation of the mechanisms that determine species composition in plant communities is important.
Rhizobacteria, once considered passive bystanders of the root environment, are now known to affect plant health, development, and environmental adaptation, both beneficially and detrimentally, and the

Rhizobacteria, once considered passive bystanders of the root environment, are now known to affect plant health, development, and environmental adaptation, both beneficially and detrimentally, and the
5 importance of these bacteria in agriculture is expected to grow. A variety of mechanisms have been identified as being responsible for such plant growth promoting activity.
For example, certain microorganisms indirectly promote plant growth by inhibiting the growth of deleterious microorganisms; or directly enhance plant growth by producing growth hormones;
and/or by assisting in the uptake of nutrients by the crops, e.g., phosphorus.
Over the years, the demand for agricultural fruits, vegetables, and crops such as banana, mango, sweetpotato, cassava, and yam in the world market increased due to rising population and the influx of more novel applications in the food industry. Meanwhile, environment-friendly sustainable agricultural practices are getting more attractive to farmers since they have more benefits in doing such than the usual chemical control. The use of chemical agents for pests and diseases is disadvantageous because of high power consumption, soil and environment pollution, and the presence of pesticide residues, which are usually harsh chemicals, in fruits, vegetables, and crops harmful to humans and animals. The discovery of natural products that are beneficial to agriculture is highly important in addressing the concerns of farmers such as in increasing fruit, vegetable, and root crop yield and productivity.
Plant pests are a major factor in the loss of the world's commercially important agricultural crops resulting both in economic hardship to farmers and nutritional deprivation for local populations in many parts of the world. Broad spectrum chemical pesticides have been used extensively to control or eradicate pests of agricultural importance. There is, however, substantial interest in developing effective altenative pesticides.
Control of various pests through the use of biological molecules has been possible in only a limited number of cases. The best known examples of biological molecules with pesticidal uses are the 6-endotoxins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), which is a gram-positive spore forming

Control of various pests through the use of biological molecules has been possible in only a limited number of cases. The best known examples of biological molecules with pesticidal uses are the 6-endotoxins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), which is a gram-positive spore forming
6 microorganism. Varieties of Bt are known that produce more than 25 different but related 6-endotoxins. Bt strains produce 6-endotoxins during sporulation the use of which is limited because they are active against only a very few of the many insect pests.
The limited specificity of the Bt endotoxins is dependent, at least in part, on both the activation of the toxin in the insect gut and its ability to bind to specific receptors present on the insects midgut epithelial cells. Therefore, the ability to control a specific insect pest using 6-endotoxins at present depends on the ability to find an appropriate 6-endotoxin with the desired range of activity. In many cases, no such 6-endotoxin is known, and it is not certain that one even exists.
Plants also routinely become infected by viruses, fungi and bacteria, and many microbial species have evolved to utilize the different niches provided by the growing plant. In addition to infection by fungi and bacteria, many plant diseases are caused by nematodes which are soil-borne and infect roots, typically causing serious damage when the same crop species is cultivated for successive years on the same area of ground.
The severity of the destructive process of disease depends on the aggressiveness of the phytopathogen and the response of the host, and one aim of most plant breeding programs is to increase the resistance of host plants to disease. Novel gene sources and combinations developed for resistance to disease have typically only had a limited period of successful use in many crop-pathogen systems due to the rapid evolution of phytopathogens to overcome resistance genes.
It is apparent, therefore, that scientists must constantly be in search of new methods with which to protect crops against plant pests. It has been found in the present invention a novel class of fermented products which can be used to control plant pests.

Programmed cell death is a process whereby developmental or environmental stimuli
7 activate a genetic program that culminate in the death of the cell. This genetic potential exists in most, if not all, multicellular organisms. In the case of invertebrates, programmed cell death appears to play a dual role by being an integral part of both the insect development process and a response mechanism to infections particularly of viral nature. Programmed cell death appears to be executed in several different manners leading to either apoptosis, atrophy or differentiation.
Apoptosis is one of the best characterized types of programmed cell death encompassing cytological changes including membrane-bound apoptotic bodies and cytoplasmic blebbing as well as molecular changes such as endonucleolysis typified by the generation of oligosomal length fragments. Although the overall apoptotic phenomenology is rather conserved among the different organisms, it is interesting to point out that, for many insect cells, cytoplasmic vacuolization and swelling rather than condensation seem to be the cytological features associated with apoptotic processes. The novel class of products disclosed within the present invention may also induce programmed cell death and exert a pesticidal effect.
Additionally, since crop yield decreases by as much as 30% to 100% in case of cultivating crops without pesticides, it is essential to use the pesticides for improving crop yield.
However, improper use of synthetic chemical pesticides in crop production causes several problems such as nonselective toxicity, accumulation of toxic compounds and outbreak of pathogens resistant to the pesticides. One way to handle these problems is to develop biopesticides using fermented products incorporating certain microorganisms.
Biopesticides are roughly classified into plant extracts, microorganisms, natural enemies, natural bioactive substances, fermentation products of certain plant materials and genetically modified organisms (GMO). Bio-pesticides can be safer, more biodegradable, and less expensive to develop than synthetic chemical pesticides.

8 The study on the development of biopesticides, especially microbial fungicides, has been a major interest in the field of plant pathology, and there is active interest in development of more effective products for different crops.
Plants are exposed to many microbes, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and nematodes.
Although many of the interactions between these microbes and plants are beneficial or innocuous, many of the interactions are harmful to the plants. Diseases of agricultural crops, ornamental plants, forests, and other plants caused by such plant pathogens, particularly bacterial pathogens, are a worldwide problem with enormous economic impact.
There are many pathogenic species of bacteria, fungi, and nematodes. Diseases caused by fungal species include pre- and post-emergence seedling damping off, hypocotyl rots, root rots, crown rots, and the like. Pathogenic nematodes cause diseases such as root galls, root rot, stunting, and various other rots. Some nematodes also function as vectors of plant viruses.
Bacterial pathogens have a significant impact on worldwide agriculture. Such plant pathogenic bacteria include species of Pseudomonas, Erwinia, Agrobacterium, Xanthomonas, and Clavibacter. Pseudomonas and Xanthomonas species affect a large number of different crops. For example, Pseudomonas syringae causes bacterial speck of tomato;
Xanthomonas campestris pv. malvacearum causes angular leaf spot of cotton; Pseudomonas solanacearum causes bacterial wilt of potato; and Pseudomonas tolaasii causes brown blotch disease of cultivated mushrooms. Potatoes and many other crops, such as celery, head lettuce, carrot, Japanese radish, wasabi, tobacco, tomato, cyclamen, Chinese cabbage, and cabbage, are susceptible to the so-called bacterial soft rots.
Erwinia carotovora is a soft rot bacterium that softens and rots storage tissues of many plants and is reported to be ubiquitous in soil. The bacterium typically enters plant tissues

Erwinia carotovora is a soft rot bacterium that softens and rots storage tissues of many plants and is reported to be ubiquitous in soil. The bacterium typically enters plant tissues
9 through injuries caused by insects, wind, tools, and the like. The bacterium invades the site of injury, and if temperature and moisture conditions are suitable, the bacteria rapidly multiply and macerate the tissue. For example, Erwinia bacteria are latent in potato plants, and will preferentially attack the stem and the tubers only after wounding. Potato seed pieces are also susceptible to infection through the cut surfaces. Erwinia carotovora has a substantial impact on the potato industry.
Agricultural production of major crops has always been impeded by plant pathogens.
Diseases caused by plant pathogens often limit the growth of certain crops to certain geographic locations and can destroy entire crops. Crop losses resulting from the deleterious effects of plant pathogens are, thus, a serious worldwide agricultural problem, particularly since there are no known treatments for many of the diseases caused by plant pathogens. Even in instances where agrichemicals and pesticides are effective against plant pathogens, their use is increasingly under attack because of injurious effects on the environment and human health.
Because pesticides are often ineffective, unavailable, and/or environmentally unacceptable, there is a need to develop alternative means for effectively eradicating or reducing the harmful effects of plant pathogens. In recent years, much research has focused on the development of means for biocontrol of such pathogens and on the development of pathogen-resistant plants by breeding or by genetic engineering. There are few examples, however, of successful production of effective biocontrol methods or disease-resistant plants.
Application of antibiotics, such as streptomycin, and metal compounds, such as copper-containing Bordeaux mixture, has been the conventional method of control for many bacterial diseases. For example, Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato, which causes bacterial speck of tomato, is presently controlled by frequent application of copper-containing sprays, which, in addition to their unfavorable environmental impact, select for copper-resistant strains. Treatment of apple and pear orchards with streptomycin to control the fireblight pathogen, Erwinia amylovora, has resulted in the appearance of streptomycin-resistant strains.
Xanthomonas campestris pv. malvacearum, which causes angular leaf spot of cotton, presently is controlled by treating seeds with mercury-containing compounds and copper sprays. Other Xanthomonas campestris species, such as X campestris pv. vesicatoria and X campestris pv.
campestris, can be seedborne, and there are no effective means for treating the seeds without injury thereto.
These chemicals give unsatisfactory control, however, and also kill useful bacteria, contaminate the environment, and cause chemical injuries. Antibiotic-resistant bacteria have also appeared, and the ability of bacteria to transfer multiple drug resistance genes between genera potentially threatens antibiotic treatment of diseases of humans and/or animals.
Since there are few means for controlling plant bacterial pathogens, and those that are available, such as the heavy metal-containing sprays and antibiotics, are not highly effective and are environmentally unacceptable, and since there are relatively few bacterial pathogen-resistant vegetable or fruit plants available, there is a need for the development of effective, non-toxic, biodegradable and environmentally acceptable means for the control of plant pathogens. There is also a need to develop means for treating plants to eradicate or control plant diseases of numerous origins.
Additionally, the biological treatment or bioremediation of waste water, soil, oil spills, refinery waste, refinery and waste water treatment sludge contaminated with hydrocarbonaceous contaminants, and the like, is desirable. These processes depend on natural bacteria or fungi to biodegrade the typically hydrocarbon hydrocarbonaceous contaminants, into more environmentally friendly materials (bioremediation) and include, in addition to the well known aerobic and/or anaerobic processes for waste water treatment, processes used for the treatment of oil spills on water, land and the other contaminated substrates mentioned above. Cellulosic and lignin containing materials, along with bacteria and, if needed, nitrogen and phosphorous bacteria nutrients, are often used in the bioremediation of soil and other particulate solid or semi-solid substrates, such as sludges. Oil spills, especially on water, are particularly troublesome to treat, as are oil producing well sites contaminated with crude oil. Waste water processes, in addition to producing bioremediated wastewater, also produce contaminated sludge. This sludge must also be treated, to biodegrade the hydro carbonaceous contaminants remaining in it. One or more cellulosic materials, such as wood chips and straw, are typically added to the sludge, as what is referred to as an amendment material, and mixed therewith to provide porosity and sites for the bio active bacteria When treating land contaminated with hydro carbonaceous material, such materials are mixed in with the land or soil, to form a composted mass in which the hydrocarbons biodegrade into carbon dioxide and water.
There is also a strong environmental and economic demand for accelerated activity bacteria capable of breaking down unwanted solids suspended or partially dissolved in aqueous media. Such solids have been classified in several ways including: total suspended solids (TSS), total volatile solids (TVS), sludge, and collectively, fats, oils and greases (FOG). Such solids have also been classified in their ability to enhance the life-bearing capabilities of the liquid in which they are suspended. Normal classifications include chemical oxygen demand (COD) and biological oxygen demand (BOD). Accelerated activity bacteria (i.e. highly active bacteria) have also been used to breakdown certain toxic wastes such as phenolic compounds and chromium by-products.
In a typical application, active bacteria, after acclimation, are used to treat toxic wastes to produce harmless, easily disposed non-toxic end products. Highly active bacteria have also been used to control or eliminate malodorous aqueous effluents. Malodorous substances such as hydrogen sulfide, ammonia or butyric acid, if broken down or denatured, are essentially odorless.
An example of a material which falls in both the classifications of toxic material and malodorous material is hydrogen sulfide which, in its gaseous form or an aqueous solution is both toxic and malodorous.
Several strains of bacteria, normally found in soil, have been found to significantly shorten the breakdown cycle of solid wastes generally found in sewage.
Examples of such soil bacteria include the genera of Arthrobacter, Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Flavobacterium and Acinetobacter, to mention a few. Certain bacteria found in animal intestines have been found to produce enzymes which, in turn, preferrably breakdown fats, oils and greases.
Examples of such enzymes are found in many ruminant animals. Especially of note are the lipase producers found in sheep. Lastly, bacteria including varieties of Rhodospirillum and Chromatium are commonly found in salt water and have been found to rapidly and efficiently breakdown aqueous solutions of hydrogen sulfide. These are but a few examples of the many circumstances in which bacteria found in one environment can be usefully employed to remove unwanted species and solutes in other environments.
There is also a need for a bioremediation process in contaminated areas, such as crude oil production sites, that will provide reasonably rapid biodegradation of the contaminant, with minimal effect on soil reuse (e.g., minimal or no reduction in compressive strength or load bearing capacity). Additionally, since large amounts of organic waste are generated annually from agricultural plantations, animal farms, mills, food processing plants and industrial plants there is a need to find ways to dispose of these wastes in an environementally friendly way.
There is a long felt need to provide environmentally acceptable compositions and methods that provide soltuions ot all the aforementioned problems.

As used herein, the term "environmental material" refers to material to be bioremediated, and is used synonymously with the terms "matrix", "waste", "debris", and "spoils". Once a bioremediation composition is provided, the material is referred to herein as "treated material" or "bioremediated material", notwithstanding that complete bioremediation may require subsequent treatment, subsequent treatment time, etc. Any level of contaminant reduction from untreated material is encompassed by the disclosed bioremediation method;
bioremediation to an extent that no contaminant(s) are detected (e.g., 100%
bioremediation) may but need not occur.
Culturing: The term "culturing", as used herein, refers to the propagation of organisms on or in media of various kinds.
Composition: A "composition" is intended to mean a combination of active agents and another compound, carrier or composition, inert (for example, a detectable agent or label or liquid carrier) or active, such as a pesticide.

Agricultural production of major crops has always been impeded by plant pathogens.
Diseases caused by plant pathogens often limit the growth of certain crops to certain geographic locations and can destroy entire crops. Crop losses resulting from the deleterious effects of plant pathogens are, thus, a serious worldwide agricultural problem, particularly since there are no known treatments for many of the diseases caused by plant pathogens. Even in instances where agrichemicals and pesticides are effective against plant pathogens, their use is increasingly under attack because of injurious effects on the environment and human health.
Because pesticides are often ineffective, unavailable, and/or environmentally unacceptable, there is a need to develop alternative means for effectively eradicating or reducing the harmful effects of plant pathogens. In recent years, much research has focused on the development of means for biocontrol of such pathogens and on the development of pathogen-resistant plants by breeding or by genetic engineering. There are few examples, however, of successful production of effective biocontrol methods or disease-resistant plants.
Application of antibiotics, such as streptomycin, and metal compounds, such as copper-containing Bordeaux mixture, has been the conventional method of control for many bacterial diseases. For example, Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato, which causes bacterial speck of tomato, is presently controlled by frequent application of copper-containing sprays, which, in addition to their unfavorable environmental impact, select for copper-resistant strains. Treatment of apple and pear orchards with streptomycin to control the fireblight pathogen, Erwinia amylovora, has resulted in the appearance of streptomycin-resistant strains.
Xanthomonas campestris pv. malvacearum, which causes angular leaf spot of cotton, presently is controlled by treating seeds with mercury-containing compounds and copper sprays. Other Xanthomonas campestris species, such as X campestris pv. vesicatoria and X campestris pv.
campestris, can be seedborne, and there are no effective means for treating the seeds without injury thereto.
These chemicals give unsatisfactory control, however, and also kill useful bacteria, contaminate the environment, and cause chemical injuries. Antibiotic-resistant bacteria have also appeared, and the ability of bacteria to transfer multiple drug resistance genes between genera potentially threatens antibiotic treatment of diseases of humans and/or animals.
Since there are few means for controlling plant bacterial pathogens, and those that are available, such as the heavy metal-containing sprays and antibiotics, are not highly effective and are environmentally unacceptable, and since there are relatively few bacterial pathogen-resistant vegetable or fruit plants available, there is a need for the development of effective, non-toxic, biodegradable and environmentally acceptable means for the control of plant pathogens. There is also a need to develop means for treating plants to eradicate or control plant diseases of numerous origins.
Additionally, the biological treatment or bioremediation of waste water, soil, oil spills, refinery waste, refinery and waste water treatment sludge contaminated with hydrocarbonaceous contaminants, and the like, is desirable. These processes depend on natural bacteria or fungi to biodegrade the typically hydrocarbon hydrocarbonaceous contaminants, into more environmentally friendly materials (bioremediation) and include, in addition to the well known aerobic and/or anaerobic processes for waste water treatment, processes used for the treatment of oil spills on water, land and the other contaminated substrates mentioned above. Cellulosic and lignin containing materials, along with bacteria and, if needed, nitrogen and phosphorous bacteria nutrients, are often used in the bioremediation of soil and other particulate solid or semi-solid substrates, such as sludges. Oil spills, especially on water, are particularly troublesome to treat, as are oil producing well sites contaminated with crude oil. Waste water processes, in addition to producing bioremediated wastewater, also produce contaminated sludge. This sludge must also be treated, to biodegrade the hydro carbonaceous contaminants remaining in it. One or more cellulosic materials, such as wood chips and straw, are typically added to the sludge, as what is referred to as an amendment material, and mixed therewith to provide porosity and sites for the bio active bacteria When treating land contaminated with hydro carbonaceous material, such materials are mixed in with the land or soil, to form a composted mass in which the hydrocarbons biodegrade into carbon dioxide and water.
There is also a strong environmental and economic demand for accelerated activity bacteria capable of breaking down unwanted solids suspended or partially dissolved in aqueous media. Such solids have been classified in several ways including: total suspended solids (TSS), total volatile solids (TVS), sludge, and collectively, fats, oils and greases (FOG). Such solids have also been classified in their ability to enhance the life-bearing capabilities of the liquid in which they are suspended. Normal classifications include chemical oxygen demand (COD) and biological oxygen demand (BOD). Accelerated activity bacteria (i.e. highly active bacteria) have also been used to breakdown certain toxic wastes such as phenolic compounds and chromium by-products.
In a typical application, active bacteria, after acclimation, are used to treat toxic wastes to produce harmless, easily disposed non-toxic end products. Highly active bacteria have also been used to control or eliminate malodorous aqueous effluents. Malodorous substances such as hydrogen sulfide, ammonia or butyric acid, if broken down or denatured, are essentially odorless.
An example of a material which falls in both the classifications of toxic material and malodorous material is hydrogen sulfide which, in its gaseous form or an aqueous solution is both toxic and malodorous.
Several strains of bacteria, normally found in soil, have been found to significantly shorten the breakdown cycle of solid wastes generally found in sewage.
Examples of such soil bacteria include the genera of Arthrobacter, Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Flavobacterium and Acinetobacter, to mention a few. Certain bacteria found in animal intestines have been found to produce enzymes which, in turn, preferrably breakdown fats, oils and greases.
Examples of such enzymes are found in many ruminant animals. Especially of note are the lipase producers found in sheep. Lastly, bacteria including varieties of Rhodospirillum and Chromatium are commonly found in salt water and have been found to rapidly and efficiently breakdown aqueous solutions of hydrogen sulfide. These are but a few examples of the many circumstances in which bacteria found in one environment can be usefully employed to remove unwanted species and solutes in other environments.
There is also a need for a bioremediation process in contaminated areas, such as crude oil production sites, that will provide reasonably rapid biodegradation of the contaminant, with minimal effect on soil reuse (e.g., minimal or no reduction in compressive strength or load bearing capacity). Additionally, since large amounts of organic waste are generated annually from agricultural plantations, animal farms, mills, food processing plants and industrial plants there is a need to find ways to dispose of these wastes in an environementally friendly way.
There is a long felt need to provide environmentally acceptable compositions and methods that provide soltuions ot all the aforementioned problems.

The products of the invention are made by the following process:
1. The natural ingredients are cut or reduced to size and mixed with water.
2. The resulting mixture from the previous step is then heated to a boil.
3. The mixture is then allowed to cool to room temperature.
4. A sample is taken from top of the mixture obtained in step (3) above, and checked so that the sample does not contain any solid.
5. Then the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Fleischman brand) is added to the 500 ml sample taken in the previous step (4), mixed slowly and manually to the full incorporation of yeast.
6. The mixture from the previous step is added to the rest of the product referenced in step (3) and mixed in gently for about 5 minutes 7. Store product in a cool dry place, for eight days leaving enough space so the gases from the fermentation process can escape. In the presence of the yeast the solids ferment anaerobically, the water also ferments and the top surface is fermented aerobically as well, 8. After the eight days of fermentative storage the product is filtered using a 40 micron mesh filter and using a recirculating pump in order to make sure bio film that may be present in excess biomass is removed. The product is filtered several times.
9. Recirculate the product with the help of a diaphragm pump through a pipe provided with electromagnetic fields (2-10,000 gauss) and stored in a tank for applying light stimuli. The electromagnetic field is adjusted so all the products from the fermentation are captured by the water molecules in the resulting product. Once everything is complexed with the water then the product is ready for the next step. A typical end point for this step is a reduction in the volatile content of the complex mixture. In the case of dry products, the application would be a different method of application i.e., passed through a tray and exposed to the electromagnetic field.
10. The product is then treated with ultraviolet light of a frequency 240-280nm to provide an aseptic product. Other frequencies may be used as long as an aseptic product is obtained.

The specific palm trees that may be treated are listed in Table 1 below:

Some of the common causes are Phytophthora palmivora, Thielaviopsis paradoxa and bacteria.
Regardless of the pathogen causing the disease, the symptoms and treatment are the same.
When a palm tree initially gets infected with bud rot, the first symptoms that become visible are: discoloration and wilting of the spear (new main) leaf and wilting and discoloration of the newer fronds (leaves). The yellowing and wilting is normally from the inner part of the leaf, outwards. In severe cases of disease the main frond or spear leaf can be easily pulled from the bud. In tall palms, where the terminal bud (top point where new growth emerges) cannot be seen from the ground, the early symptoms of palm bud rot are often missed.
Often the disease onset is not noticed until new frond growth has stopped and the crown begins to appear to be shrinking or loses its top and appears flat. In cases such as this, often the terminal bud has died, and no new fronds are produced. Existing fronds will remain green for a few months as the tree slowly dies.
Palm bud rot caused by bacterial infections is often associated with cold damage and stress placed on the tree by exposure to cold temperatures. When a palm tree is exposed to cold damage, to prevent the possible onset of palm bud rot the tree should be treated with the product of Examples 1, 5, 6 or 8. . Immediately after cold damage or damage from other bud rot causing agents such as from phytoptora palmivora the terminal bud should be sprayed, and then repeated every 10 to 14 days for a series of 4 treatments. It is best not to wait until palm bud rot symptoms emerge. Avoid pruning or removing damaged fronds, as this will place more stress on the tree and increase the potential for other bacterial or fungal infections to enter the tree.
When treating and preventing palm bud rot it is important to realize that palm trees have only one terminal bud from which all new growth emerges. Unlike most trees, such as maple and apple trees which have many points where new growth emerges, palms rely exclusively on their single terminal bud. If the terminal bud or heart becomes diseased or freezes during cold periods and dies, the tree will not be able to put out any new leaf growth and will die. That is why regular monitoring of the terminal bud and preventative care are vital to maintaining a healthy palm tree.
Recommended Steps to Treat Palm Bud Rot It is always best to take steps to prevent the onset of Palm Bud Rot.
Preventative steps should be taken if a palm tree has experienced cold damage or palm bud rot has been identified in the local area. As a preventative treatment, spay the tree's terminal bud with the products of the invention exemplified in Examples 5, 6 or 8 and repeat the treatment every 10 to 14 days, for 3 to 4 treatments, or as necessary.
If a palm tree is already showing symptoms of palm bud rot, immediately treat the tree with the products of Examples 5, 6 or 8, focusing most attention towards the terminal bud.
Repeat the spraying every 7 days as necessary. Once a tree is infected with bud rot, it usually dies, but its chances of survival can increase the earlier it is treated with the formulations of the invention. The products of Examples 5, 6 and 8 can also reverse bud rot, and also induce the natural resistance of the palm to the complex disease.
In a further aspect of the invention, the compositions of the invention are useful for treating the rice tarsonemid mite, Steneotarsonemus spinki which was first recorded in Baton Rouge, LA., USA in 1960. It has been recognized as an important rice pest in several Asian countries such as China, India, Taiwan, Korea, Philippines, and Thailand. The mite was detected in Cuba in 1997 causing severe yield losses, and subsequently was reported in the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama causing 30 to 90% yield reduction. The mite was detected in Colombia in 2005 but in low populations with no significant yield reductions.
Larvae and adults of S. spinki feed on the rice plant tissue causing browning of leaf sheaths and grain hulls. The main damage is caused in association with the bacterial panicle blight pathogen (Burkholderia glumae) and detected during panicle emergence resulting in symptoms known as empty head or grain sterility. The products of examples 1, 5, 6, 7 and 8 are particularly useful in combating this disease encountered in rice.
The rice tarsonemid mite is normally found associated with the fungus Sarocladium oryzae and recently was found in association with the bacterium Burkholderia glumae, the causal agent of bacterial panicle blight in Panama (2005 and 2006) and Colombia (2007), where the incidence of affected plants (grain sterility and discoloration) reached 100%
causing yield losses above 80%. In the U.S., the mite has recently (August 2007) been identified in Alvin, TX at the RiceTec research facility, the Texas A&M/ USDA ARS facility in Beaumont, TX, and at the winter nursery research facilities in Lajas, Puerto Rico. The locations where the mite has been found are under strict quarantine restriction. The restriction limits access and the infected plants are being sprayed with a series of products of the invention (Examples 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8) over a 6 week period. Areas were inspected for the mite following treatment.
The life cycle (egg to adult) of the mite takes 3-10 days depending on the temperature and relative humidity. An adult female lays about 60-75 eggs in10-15 days and 48 to 55 generations can be completed in a year. The main host of the mite is the rice plant. The optimal conditions for the growth and reproduction of the mite are 25-27C and relative humidity above 80%. Periods of sunny days and low rain favor mite development but low relative humidity and heavy rains increase mortality reducing the mite population. The mite can be disseminated on seeds, by wind, water, insects, agricultural machinery, and survives on plant debris after harvesting. It can be detected on young plants when infested seed is planted or if neighboring fields were heavily infested. The milky stage is preferred by the mite for feeding and its reproduction. The mite is mainly detected in the inner part of the leaf sheath where high populations of nymphs and adults can be found. It is mainly found in the upper part of the sheath close to the leaf, but can also be found in the middle or lower part of the sheath. Small brown spots on the sheath are indications of mite presence. The mite can also be found on the endosperm and the inner part of the hulls. It is sometimes difficult to detect in the field because of its transparent appearance, small size (195-265[Lm x 92-109[Lm), and preferred location in the inner part of the sheaths. However, a 20X magnifier can be used for detecting individual mites or detecting colonies which can reach populations of 300 mites/cm2.
Heavy infestations of the mite occur during the rice reproductive stage helping to disseminate the bacterium B. glumae causing erect or deformed panicles and turning the surface of grain brown to dark black. Affected panicles contain a mixture of green, tan, and brown kernels. The mite apparently injects a toxin that can cause grain deformation.
Grain quality and milling can be affected. Leaf sheaths exhibit browning symptoms. All symptoms observed are similar to those caused by the bacteria panicle blight and sheath rot pathogen, which are normally found in association with the mite.
The products of the invention exemplified in examples 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 are particularly effective in the control the rice tarsonemid mite avoiding broad dissemination of the bacterium B. glumae. To prevent the introduction of the mite into a new crop, it is necessary to destroy plant debris after harvesting infested fields, and disinfect the rice seed before planting. In the tropics, planting dates should be modified to avoid favorable conditions for mite development during the most susceptible plant development stage of panicle formation and emergence.
Differences in resistance to S. spinki have been observed among rice varieties, however results are not conclusive. Cultural practices favoring a healthy crop development such as proper nitrogen fertilization, low seeding rates, destruction of plant residues, good land preparation and leveling and adequate water management help to reduce the problem.
The invention further provides bioremediation processes that are targeted and include the deliberate use of the biological, or respiratory, processes to degrade, consume, break down, transform, metabolize, and/or remove contaminants from a treatment zone that is associated with a contaminated region and may be performed both in situ and/or ex situ. In situ bioremediation includes treating the contaminated material without removal from its current, existing, or natural location, while ex situ bioremediation includes removal of the contaminated material from its current, existing, or natural location for treatment at a different site. The bioremediation processes of the invention include the introduction of reactants, such as oxidants and/or nutrients, into the treatment zone to enhance, assist, augment, stimulate, and/or promote the growth of native microorganisms that are already present within the contaminated region and are termed bio-stimulation processes, while bioremediation processes that include the introduction of non-native microorganisms into the treatment zone, with or without the introduction of oxidants and/or nutrients, are termed bio-augmentation processes.
For bioremediation to occur, the contaminated region must include a microbial population that is adapted to metabolize a contaminant, as well as an energy source, a carbon source, an electron acceptor (or oxidant), nutrients, and suitable environmental conditions. The microbial population may include native microbes and/or may include specialized microbes that may be added to the treatment zone during a bio-augmentation process. The contaminant is typically utilized by the microbial population as both the energy source and the carbon source, providing the mechanism by which the bioremediation processes may decrease a contaminant concentration within the treatment zone.
The bioremediation formulations of the invention may include both active and inactive components. The active components may refer to components of the bioremediation formulation that are actively utilized during microbial respiration and/or components of the bioremediation formulation that actively participate in the delivery of the bioremediation formulation to the microorganisms, contaminant, treatment zone, and/or contaminated region. In contrast, inactive components of the bioremediation formulations of the invention are not actively utilized during microbial respiration and/or components of the bioremediation formulation that do not actively participate in the delivery of the bioremediation formulation to the microorganisms, contaminant, treatment zone, and/or contaminated region.
The invention further provides a method for treating an organic industrial waste to degrade the waste, which comprises: (a) providing a fermented product according to Example 1 and (b) adding the fermented product of Example 1 along with a diluent liquid to the industrial waste in a treatment plant, a lagoon, a tank or a soil, wherein the waste is degraded.
Organic waste that may be treated using the disclosed processes and composition include, but are not limited to agricultural waste, food waste, organic refuse, mill effluent, municipal waste, sewage, sludge, animal waste, and industrial waste. Exemplary agricultural wastes include, but are not limited to, oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB), palm decanter cake slurry, olive husk, corn cob, coffee bean husk, rice husk, rice straw, spent mushroom compost, palm foliage, palm trunk, palm kernel shells, palm fiber, farm effluent, slaughterhouse waste, flower cuttings, spent flower compost, wheat straw, fruit waste, vegetable waste, and the like.
Exemplary animal wastes include, but are not limited to, dead animals, animal feather, animal parts (such as animal intestines), and animal manure such as poultry manure, cow manure, goat manure, horse manure, sheep manure, and swine manure. Mill effluent may be, for example, palm oil mill effluent (POME) and POME sludge.
The organic waste to be treated in the disclosed process may be selected based on criteria such as availability due to for example geographical or seasonal variability, cost, suitability, desired product and product properties, and the like. For example, in palm oil producing regions, about 8 million tons of empty fruit bunch (EFB) are generated annually, and hence provides an abundant source of organic waste that can be treated using the disclosed process to at least partly convert the EFB into useful organic fertilizer. Similarly, a typical food processing plant can generate between about 1.5 to about 2 tons of sludge per day while a poultry slaughterhouse can generate about 300 m3/day of wastewater, which result in abundant sources of organic waste for use in the disclosed process.
A single type of organic waste may be used in the disclosed process, or any combination of more than one type of organic waste may be used. For example, EFB may be used together with chicken manure, or food waste may be used together with POME sludge.
Other exemplary combinations of organic wastes include, but are not limited to, a combination of chicken manure with dead chickens, a combination of chicken manure with chicken feathers, a combination of EFB with chicken manure, a combination of EFB with chicken manure and POME, and a combination of EFB and POME sludge.
Once a product of the invention has been prepared (i.e., Example 1), it is ready to be applied to the organic waste. For example, if the organic wastes are contained in a lagoon, the product can be sprayed onto the surface of the lagoon or otherwise mixed with the contents of the lagoon for obtaining good coverage of the lagoon. The amount of product that should be added to the lagoon is easily determined by a person of ordinary skill in the art without the need for undue experimentation. Addition of an appropriate amount of product will result in vigorous production of gas as the bacteria metabolize the wastes. Further, the bacteria will substantially control the odors associated with the lagoon within two to four weeks or less time. Addition of an excess of the product of the invention will result in solids from the floor of the lagoon being raised to the surface of the lagoon due to the large amount of gas being produced by the bacteria.
This condition is sometimes termed being "upside down." Remedies for an upside down lagoon include (1) doing nothing, wherein the production of gas by the bacteria will gradually diminish and permit the solids to sink to the lagoon floor again, and (2) adding even more product to the lagoon, wherein the solids will be further metabolized by the bacteria and will sink to the floor of the lagoon. The production of gas by the bacteria added to the lagoon results in mixing of the contents of the lagoon, which aids in mixing of the bacteria with the wastes.
Since wastes will generally continue to be added to the lagoon, it is necessary to periodically add fresh product to the lagoon.
The fermentation products of the invention can also be used as ripeners and growth stimulants. A pearticular composition that provides this effects includes by weight percent 10%
Horse Tail Fern (Equisetaceae), 10.0% Plantain leaves, 2.0% White Onion, 2.0%
Nettle leaves, 2.0% Eucaliptus leaves and flowers, 2.0% Composition of Example 3, 71.49% Potable Water and the composition also includes 0.10% Saccharomyces Cerevisiae.

The specific palm trees that may be treated are listed in Table 1 below:

Some of the common causes are Phytophthora palmivora, Thielaviopsis paradoxa and bacteria.
Regardless of the pathogen causing the disease, the symptoms and treatment are the same.
When a palm tree initially gets infected with bud rot, the first symptoms that become visible are: discoloration and wilting of the spear (new main) leaf and wilting and discoloration of the newer fronds (leaves). The yellowing and wilting is normally from the inner part of the leaf, outwards. In severe cases of disease the main frond or spear leaf can be easily pulled from the bud. In tall palms, where the terminal bud (top point where new growth emerges) cannot be seen from the ground, the early symptoms of palm bud rot are often missed.
Often the disease onset is not noticed until new frond growth has stopped and the crown begins to appear to be shrinking or loses its top and appears flat. In cases such as this, often the terminal bud has died, and no new fronds are produced. Existing fronds will remain green for a few months as the tree slowly dies.
Palm bud rot caused by bacterial infections is often associated with cold damage and stress placed on the tree by exposure to cold temperatures. When a palm tree is exposed to cold damage, to prevent the possible onset of palm bud rot the tree should be treated with the product of Examples 1, 5, 6 or 8. . Immediately after cold damage or damage from other bud rot causing agents such as from phytoptora palmivora the terminal bud should be sprayed, and then repeated every 10 to 14 days for a series of 4 treatments. It is best not to wait until palm bud rot symptoms emerge. Avoid pruning or removing damaged fronds, as this will place more stress on the tree and increase the potential for other bacterial or fungal infections to enter the tree.
When treating and preventing palm bud rot it is important to realize that palm trees have only one terminal bud from which all new growth emerges. Unlike most trees, such as maple and apple trees which have many points where new growth emerges, palms rely exclusively on their single terminal bud. If the terminal bud or heart becomes diseased or freezes during cold periods and dies, the tree will not be able to put out any new leaf growth and will die. That is why regular monitoring of the terminal bud and preventative care are vital to maintaining a healthy palm tree.
Recommended Steps to Treat Palm Bud Rot It is always best to take steps to prevent the onset of Palm Bud Rot.
Preventative steps should be taken if a palm tree has experienced cold damage or palm bud rot has been identified in the local area. As a preventative treatment, spay the tree's terminal bud with the products of the invention exemplified in Examples 5, 6 or 8 and repeat the treatment every 10 to 14 days, for 3 to 4 treatments, or as necessary.
If a palm tree is already showing symptoms of palm bud rot, immediately treat the tree with the products of Examples 5, 6 or 8, focusing most attention towards the terminal bud.
Repeat the spraying every 7 days as necessary. Once a tree is infected with bud rot, it usually dies, but its chances of survival can increase the earlier it is treated with the formulations of the invention. The products of Examples 5, 6 and 8 can also reverse bud rot, and also induce the natural resistance of the palm to the complex disease.
In a further aspect of the invention, the compositions of the invention are useful for treating the rice tarsonemid mite, Steneotarsonemus spinki which was first recorded in Baton Rouge, LA., USA in 1960. It has been recognized as an important rice pest in several Asian countries such as China, India, Taiwan, Korea, Philippines, and Thailand. The mite was detected in Cuba in 1997 causing severe yield losses, and subsequently was reported in the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama causing 30 to 90% yield reduction. The mite was detected in Colombia in 2005 but in low populations with no significant yield reductions.
Larvae and adults of S. spinki feed on the rice plant tissue causing browning of leaf sheaths and grain hulls. The main damage is caused in association with the bacterial panicle blight pathogen (Burkholderia glumae) and detected during panicle emergence resulting in symptoms known as empty head or grain sterility. The products of examples 1, 5, 6, 7 and 8 are particularly useful in combating this disease encountered in rice.
The rice tarsonemid mite is normally found associated with the fungus Sarocladium oryzae and recently was found in association with the bacterium Burkholderia glumae, the causal agent of bacterial panicle blight in Panama (2005 and 2006) and Colombia (2007), where the incidence of affected plants (grain sterility and discoloration) reached 100%
causing yield losses above 80%. In the U.S., the mite has recently (August 2007) been identified in Alvin, TX at the RiceTec research facility, the Texas A&M/ USDA ARS facility in Beaumont, TX, and at the winter nursery research facilities in Lajas, Puerto Rico. The locations where the mite has been found are under strict quarantine restriction. The restriction limits access and the infected plants are being sprayed with a series of products of the invention (Examples 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8) over a 6 week period. Areas were inspected for the mite following treatment.
The life cycle (egg to adult) of the mite takes 3-10 days depending on the temperature and relative humidity. An adult female lays about 60-75 eggs in10-15 days and 48 to 55 generations can be completed in a year. The main host of the mite is the rice plant. The optimal conditions for the growth and reproduction of the mite are 25-27C and relative humidity above 80%. Periods of sunny days and low rain favor mite development but low relative humidity and heavy rains increase mortality reducing the mite population. The mite can be disseminated on seeds, by wind, water, insects, agricultural machinery, and survives on plant debris after harvesting. It can be detected on young plants when infested seed is planted or if neighboring fields were heavily infested. The milky stage is preferred by the mite for feeding and its reproduction. The mite is mainly detected in the inner part of the leaf sheath where high populations of nymphs and adults can be found. It is mainly found in the upper part of the sheath close to the leaf, but can also be found in the middle or lower part of the sheath. Small brown spots on the sheath are indications of mite presence. The mite can also be found on the endosperm and the inner part of the hulls. It is sometimes difficult to detect in the field because of its transparent appearance, small size (195-265[Lm x 92-109[Lm), and preferred location in the inner part of the sheaths. However, a 20X magnifier can be used for detecting individual mites or detecting colonies which can reach populations of 300 mites/cm2.
Heavy infestations of the mite occur during the rice reproductive stage helping to disseminate the bacterium B. glumae causing erect or deformed panicles and turning the surface of grain brown to dark black. Affected panicles contain a mixture of green, tan, and brown kernels. The mite apparently injects a toxin that can cause grain deformation.
Grain quality and milling can be affected. Leaf sheaths exhibit browning symptoms. All symptoms observed are similar to those caused by the bacteria panicle blight and sheath rot pathogen, which are normally found in association with the mite.
The products of the invention exemplified in examples 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 are particularly effective in the control the rice tarsonemid mite avoiding broad dissemination of the bacterium B. glumae. To prevent the introduction of the mite into a new crop, it is necessary to destroy plant debris after harvesting infested fields, and disinfect the rice seed before planting. In the tropics, planting dates should be modified to avoid favorable conditions for mite development during the most susceptible plant development stage of panicle formation and emergence.
Differences in resistance to S. spinki have been observed among rice varieties, however results are not conclusive. Cultural practices favoring a healthy crop development such as proper nitrogen fertilization, low seeding rates, destruction of plant residues, good land preparation and leveling and adequate water management help to reduce the problem.
The invention further provides bioremediation processes that are targeted and include the deliberate use of the biological, or respiratory, processes to degrade, consume, break down, transform, metabolize, and/or remove contaminants from a treatment zone that is associated with a contaminated region and may be performed both in situ and/or ex situ. In situ bioremediation includes treating the contaminated material without removal from its current, existing, or natural location, while ex situ bioremediation includes removal of the contaminated material from its current, existing, or natural location for treatment at a different site. The bioremediation processes of the invention include the introduction of reactants, such as oxidants and/or nutrients, into the treatment zone to enhance, assist, augment, stimulate, and/or promote the growth of native microorganisms that are already present within the contaminated region and are termed bio-stimulation processes, while bioremediation processes that include the introduction of non-native microorganisms into the treatment zone, with or without the introduction of oxidants and/or nutrients, are termed bio-augmentation processes.
For bioremediation to occur, the contaminated region must include a microbial population that is adapted to metabolize a contaminant, as well as an energy source, a carbon source, an electron acceptor (or oxidant), nutrients, and suitable environmental conditions. The microbial population may include native microbes and/or may include specialized microbes that may be added to the treatment zone during a bio-augmentation process. The contaminant is typically utilized by the microbial population as both the energy source and the carbon source, providing the mechanism by which the bioremediation processes may decrease a contaminant concentration within the treatment zone.
The bioremediation formulations of the invention may include both active and inactive components. The active components may refer to components of the bioremediation formulation that are actively utilized during microbial respiration and/or components of the bioremediation formulation that actively participate in the delivery of the bioremediation formulation to the microorganisms, contaminant, treatment zone, and/or contaminated region. In contrast, inactive components of the bioremediation formulations of the invention are not actively utilized during microbial respiration and/or components of the bioremediation formulation that do not actively participate in the delivery of the bioremediation formulation to the microorganisms, contaminant, treatment zone, and/or contaminated region.
The invention further provides a method for treating an organic industrial waste to degrade the waste, which comprises: (a) providing a fermented product according to Example 1 and (b) adding the fermented product of Example 1 along with a diluent liquid to the industrial waste in a treatment plant, a lagoon, a tank or a soil, wherein the waste is degraded.
Organic waste that may be treated using the disclosed processes and composition include, but are not limited to agricultural waste, food waste, organic refuse, mill effluent, municipal waste, sewage, sludge, animal waste, and industrial waste. Exemplary agricultural wastes include, but are not limited to, oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB), palm decanter cake slurry, olive husk, corn cob, coffee bean husk, rice husk, rice straw, spent mushroom compost, palm foliage, palm trunk, palm kernel shells, palm fiber, farm effluent, slaughterhouse waste, flower cuttings, spent flower compost, wheat straw, fruit waste, vegetable waste, and the like.
Exemplary animal wastes include, but are not limited to, dead animals, animal feather, animal parts (such as animal intestines), and animal manure such as poultry manure, cow manure, goat manure, horse manure, sheep manure, and swine manure. Mill effluent may be, for example, palm oil mill effluent (POME) and POME sludge.
The organic waste to be treated in the disclosed process may be selected based on criteria such as availability due to for example geographical or seasonal variability, cost, suitability, desired product and product properties, and the like. For example, in palm oil producing regions, about 8 million tons of empty fruit bunch (EFB) are generated annually, and hence provides an abundant source of organic waste that can be treated using the disclosed process to at least partly convert the EFB into useful organic fertilizer. Similarly, a typical food processing plant can generate between about 1.5 to about 2 tons of sludge per day while a poultry slaughterhouse can generate about 300 m3/day of wastewater, which result in abundant sources of organic waste for use in the disclosed process.
A single type of organic waste may be used in the disclosed process, or any combination of more than one type of organic waste may be used. For example, EFB may be used together with chicken manure, or food waste may be used together with POME sludge.
Other exemplary combinations of organic wastes include, but are not limited to, a combination of chicken manure with dead chickens, a combination of chicken manure with chicken feathers, a combination of EFB with chicken manure, a combination of EFB with chicken manure and POME, and a combination of EFB and POME sludge.
Once a product of the invention has been prepared (i.e., Example 1), it is ready to be applied to the organic waste. For example, if the organic wastes are contained in a lagoon, the product can be sprayed onto the surface of the lagoon or otherwise mixed with the contents of the lagoon for obtaining good coverage of the lagoon. The amount of product that should be added to the lagoon is easily determined by a person of ordinary skill in the art without the need for undue experimentation. Addition of an appropriate amount of product will result in vigorous production of gas as the bacteria metabolize the wastes. Further, the bacteria will substantially control the odors associated with the lagoon within two to four weeks or less time. Addition of an excess of the product of the invention will result in solids from the floor of the lagoon being raised to the surface of the lagoon due to the large amount of gas being produced by the bacteria.
This condition is sometimes termed being "upside down." Remedies for an upside down lagoon include (1) doing nothing, wherein the production of gas by the bacteria will gradually diminish and permit the solids to sink to the lagoon floor again, and (2) adding even more product to the lagoon, wherein the solids will be further metabolized by the bacteria and will sink to the floor of the lagoon. The production of gas by the bacteria added to the lagoon results in mixing of the contents of the lagoon, which aids in mixing of the bacteria with the wastes.
Since wastes will generally continue to be added to the lagoon, it is necessary to periodically add fresh product to the lagoon.
The fermentation products of the invention can also be used as ripeners and growth stimulants. A pearticular composition that provides this effects includes by weight percent 10%
Horse Tail Fern (Equisetaceae), 10.0% Plantain leaves, 2.0% White Onion, 2.0%
Nettle leaves, 2.0% Eucaliptus leaves and flowers, 2.0% Composition of Example 3, 71.49% Potable Water and the composition also includes 0.10% Saccharomyces Cerevisiae.
The following examples are intended to demonstrate the usefulness of preferred embodiments of the present invention and should not be considered to limit its scope or applicability in any way.
In all of the examples below where microorganisms are used i.e., Bacillus or others, the typical starting colony forming units (CFU) per gram islx101 CFU/gram and when the process is finished the CFU per gram is 1x108 CFU/gram.

Use of the Product of Example 1 to treat Stable Flies (Stomoxys calcitrans) Costa Rica has had a very significant increase in the areas dedicated to the production of pineapple for export. The risks in production and plant protection becomes a priority as the level of safety of the fruit also becomes important as international customers impose new regulations and/or certifications to ensure that the Permitted Maximum Residue Limits are met by the country Farming Practice and Processes. This trend will not change and therefore good farming practices must venture into the pest control products different from those based on chemicals and replace them with organic products that do not generate environmental problems and are safe for use from the point of view of human health.
Application to Plant Parts The composition of the present invention can be applied to plant parts as a dry material or as a wet formulation. As a dry material, the composition can be applied directly to the plant parts to be protected, for example leaves. The dry material can also be applied to the whole plant, fruits, and the like by dusting. The wet formulation can be applied by spraying onto the plant parts to be protected, or the plant parts can be dipped in the wet formulation, for example by dipping them.
Of course the soil where the pineapple plant is grown can also be treated with the product of Example 1.
Procedure For Spraying Product Of Example 1 1. The water used for activation of the microorganisms present in the Example 1 product must be conditioned to a pH between 5 and 6, by using lemon juice was and monitored with a pH
meter to adjust the pH to the required value.
2. The microorganisms in the product of Example 1 were activated in a mixture with non-chlorinated water in a ratio of 1:5 , i.e., one liter product of Example 1 with 5 liters unchlorinated water. Stir and let stand for 15 minutes.
3. Once the activation is completed the product is placed in a Spray Boom tank and additional water was added to have product for application to an acre .
4. The product was applied at the rate of a dose of 13 liters/acre. Prior to application a calibration was done. The second application was done at a dose of 7 liters/acre.
5. Sample populations per square meter were chosen randomly in the experimental acreage.
6. The first sampling took place five days after the first application. The second sampling occurred four days after the second application.
The results of the treatment are summarized in the tables below:
After 5 days Population per square meter Eggs larvae Pupae Product of Example 1 0 0.5 0.5 Control 0 7.5 0 After 4 days Population per square meter Eggs larvae Pupae Product of Example 1 0 0.25 0 Control 0 1.50 0 1. Odors in the treated plot with Example Bioblast when the samples were being made were not perceived i.e., fermentation or putrefaction, while with the control the odor was very perceptible.
2. As you can see in the table of results above, treatment with the formulation of Example 1 results in striking reduction of the larvae and pupae when compared to the control.
3. Within five days after the first application, the plot treated with the product of Example 1 had 1500% less larvae when compared with the control.
4. Four days after the second application, the plot treated with product of Example 1 had 600% less larvae when compared to the control.
Therefore, it is clear that the product of Example 1 is very effective for controlling stable flies, Stomoxys calcitrans.
Use of the Product of Example 1 to treat Moko (Ralstonia solanacearum) Ralstonia solanacearum is a pathogen of worldwide distribution, infecting about 200 species of plants, including Musa and gingiberaceas and resposnsible for causing the disease Moko". The organism is a Gram -negative bacterium. It has been studied by extensively by plant pathologists and used by molecular biologists as a model to explain the genetic mechanisms that govern pathogenicity in plants. The bacteria can survive in the soil, water and plant debris, plus it spreads rapidly and the established controls have proved inefficient in its eradication because of the versatility of the pathogen. The product of Example 1 is particularly useful in reducing the aggressiveness of Ralstonia solanacearum.
Moko on Heliconias caused by R. solanacearum is a very versatile free-living organism.
The classification system of the bacteria makeup is governed by host range, pathogenicity, geographic distribution and genetic differences.
The bacteria can be revived even after a sleep state and persist in the infection of many plant species. In water the bacteria can survive in unfavorable conditions, achieves low latency can withstand temperatures critically and recover in a short time interval between 18 C and 25 C. Light is an important factor in the distribution of colonies, soils with R.
solanacearum can coexist with other species of bacteria, fungi and higher organisms and in some regions the presence of agricultural activity causes an imbalance in favor of harmful organisms such as Erwinia sp, Fusarium sp, Phytohpthora Rizotocnia sp and even nematodes.
The bacteria can spread from plant wounds, runoff, splash, infected seeds, insects and tools. For this disease nothing in the prior art is efficacious, although biological control and organic leachate extract in cultivated areas has provided interesting results in decreasing the incidence of R. solanacearum.
For application of the product of Example 1, we used two cans of 200 liters each. In a 200 liter container there were added 4 liters of Example 1 product to 20 liters of water, then allowed to stand for 15 minutes and then diluted further with 176 liters of water.
The other container is made the same way. To the sprayer was added 10 liters of water and 10 liters of the product of Example. The dosage per plant is 300 ml per plant.
For the bio - activation the product of Example 1 is in a pre mix ratio of 1 liter of product with 5 liters of water, stir and let stand for 15 minutes. These products are applied without any mixing with others.
The field trial was conducted over a three month period on four lots of heliconias with different numbers of plants and different ages. The products can be applied to the soil or the application can be made by foliar application. The first two applications were made at an interval of two weeks, the other three applications were made at ten day intervals.
At 8 days after the first application was made, visual observations were made in the field to determine the behavior of plants such products. Samples from each batch of plants with or without symptoms of moko (Ralstonia solanacearum) were taken to the local Plant Health Diagnostic Laboratory to check for the presence of this bacterium in plants.
In the samples collected from each batch we performed a cross-sectional analysis to see if they had symptoms of bacteria in the rhizome or pseudostem.
One batch had 198 plants, 1 months crop age, growing area 1485.37 m2. Of the plants 185 were healthy plants, and 13 were diseased plants (7%). This batch was the most tolerant to this bacteria.

Use of the products of Examples 9 and 16 in fish ponds.
Four fish each were collected from two fish ponds. One pond was treated with the products of Examples 9 and 16 and the other pond was the control. The fish were carried in plastic bags to the laboratory to examine their health status .
The fish were placed in separate buckets and then proceeded to the analysis of their health . The fish were first externally evaluated to determine the presence or absence of lesions in the skin, eyes and fins. Subsequently the fish were killed and opened to inspect the internal organs. The organs were removed for analysis individually. In the case of the gills, the stomach and intestine, they were dissected to determine differences between the control and treated ponds.
Of the total inspections, only differences in stomach contents were detected.
The fish from the treated pond along with newly ingested pellets, had lots of greenish color stuff similar to micro algae. In the case of the control, two of the fish only had a tiny presence of micro algae while tow of them had none.
For the gills no differences were observed, they all had the same color and just as with feces, no visual differences were found.

Use of the Product of Example 1 to treat Stable Flies (Stomoxys calcitrans) Costa Rica has had a very significant increase in the areas dedicated to the production of pineapple for export. The risks in production and plant protection becomes a priority as the level of safety of the fruit also becomes important as international customers impose new regulations and/or certifications to ensure that the Permitted Maximum Residue Limits are met by the country Farming Practice and Processes. This trend will not change and therefore good farming practices must venture into the pest control products different from those based on chemicals and replace them with organic products that do not generate environmental problems and are safe for use from the point of view of human health.
Application to Plant Parts The composition of the present invention can be applied to plant parts as a dry material or as a wet formulation. As a dry material, the composition can be applied directly to the plant parts to be protected, for example leaves. The dry material can also be applied to the whole plant, fruits, and the like by dusting. The wet formulation can be applied by spraying onto the plant parts to be protected, or the plant parts can be dipped in the wet formulation, for example by dipping them.
Of course the soil where the pineapple plant is grown can also be treated with the product of Example 1.
Procedure For Spraying Product Of Example 1 1. The water used for activation of the microorganisms present in the Example 1 product must be conditioned to a pH between 5 and 6, by using lemon juice was and monitored with a pH
meter to adjust the pH to the required value.
2. The microorganisms in the product of Example 1 were activated in a mixture with non-chlorinated water in a ratio of 1:5 , i.e., one liter product of Example 1 with 5 liters unchlorinated water. Stir and let stand for 15 minutes.
3. Once the activation is completed the product is placed in a Spray Boom tank and additional water was added to have product for application to an acre .
4. The product was applied at the rate of a dose of 13 liters/acre. Prior to application a calibration was done. The second application was done at a dose of 7 liters/acre.
5. Sample populations per square meter were chosen randomly in the experimental acreage.
6. The first sampling took place five days after the first application. The second sampling occurred four days after the second application.
The results of the treatment are summarized in the tables below:
After 5 days Population per square meter Eggs larvae Pupae Product of Example 1 0 0.5 0.5 Control 0 7.5 0 After 4 days Population per square meter Eggs larvae Pupae Product of Example 1 0 0.25 0 Control 0 1.50 0 1. Odors in the treated plot with Example Bioblast when the samples were being made were not perceived i.e., fermentation or putrefaction, while with the control the odor was very perceptible.
2. As you can see in the table of results above, treatment with the formulation of Example 1 results in striking reduction of the larvae and pupae when compared to the control.
3. Within five days after the first application, the plot treated with the product of Example 1 had 1500% less larvae when compared with the control.
4. Four days after the second application, the plot treated with product of Example 1 had 600% less larvae when compared to the control.
Therefore, it is clear that the product of Example 1 is very effective for controlling stable flies, Stomoxys calcitrans.
Use of the Product of Example 1 to treat Moko (Ralstonia solanacearum) Ralstonia solanacearum is a pathogen of worldwide distribution, infecting about 200 species of plants, including Musa and gingiberaceas and resposnsible for causing the disease Moko". The organism is a Gram -negative bacterium. It has been studied by extensively by plant pathologists and used by molecular biologists as a model to explain the genetic mechanisms that govern pathogenicity in plants. The bacteria can survive in the soil, water and plant debris, plus it spreads rapidly and the established controls have proved inefficient in its eradication because of the versatility of the pathogen. The product of Example 1 is particularly useful in reducing the aggressiveness of Ralstonia solanacearum.
Moko on Heliconias caused by R. solanacearum is a very versatile free-living organism.
The classification system of the bacteria makeup is governed by host range, pathogenicity, geographic distribution and genetic differences.
The bacteria can be revived even after a sleep state and persist in the infection of many plant species. In water the bacteria can survive in unfavorable conditions, achieves low latency can withstand temperatures critically and recover in a short time interval between 18 C and 25 C. Light is an important factor in the distribution of colonies, soils with R.
solanacearum can coexist with other species of bacteria, fungi and higher organisms and in some regions the presence of agricultural activity causes an imbalance in favor of harmful organisms such as Erwinia sp, Fusarium sp, Phytohpthora Rizotocnia sp and even nematodes.
The bacteria can spread from plant wounds, runoff, splash, infected seeds, insects and tools. For this disease nothing in the prior art is efficacious, although biological control and organic leachate extract in cultivated areas has provided interesting results in decreasing the incidence of R. solanacearum.
For application of the product of Example 1, we used two cans of 200 liters each. In a 200 liter container there were added 4 liters of Example 1 product to 20 liters of water, then allowed to stand for 15 minutes and then diluted further with 176 liters of water.
The other container is made the same way. To the sprayer was added 10 liters of water and 10 liters of the product of Example. The dosage per plant is 300 ml per plant.
For the bio - activation the product of Example 1 is in a pre mix ratio of 1 liter of product with 5 liters of water, stir and let stand for 15 minutes. These products are applied without any mixing with others.
The field trial was conducted over a three month period on four lots of heliconias with different numbers of plants and different ages. The products can be applied to the soil or the application can be made by foliar application. The first two applications were made at an interval of two weeks, the other three applications were made at ten day intervals.
At 8 days after the first application was made, visual observations were made in the field to determine the behavior of plants such products. Samples from each batch of plants with or without symptoms of moko (Ralstonia solanacearum) were taken to the local Plant Health Diagnostic Laboratory to check for the presence of this bacterium in plants.
In the samples collected from each batch we performed a cross-sectional analysis to see if they had symptoms of bacteria in the rhizome or pseudostem.
One batch had 198 plants, 1 months crop age, growing area 1485.37 m2. Of the plants 185 were healthy plants, and 13 were diseased plants (7%). This batch was the most tolerant to this bacteria.

Use of the products of Examples 9 and 16 in fish ponds.
Four fish each were collected from two fish ponds. One pond was treated with the products of Examples 9 and 16 and the other pond was the control. The fish were carried in plastic bags to the laboratory to examine their health status .
The fish were placed in separate buckets and then proceeded to the analysis of their health . The fish were first externally evaluated to determine the presence or absence of lesions in the skin, eyes and fins. Subsequently the fish were killed and opened to inspect the internal organs. The organs were removed for analysis individually. In the case of the gills, the stomach and intestine, they were dissected to determine differences between the control and treated ponds.
Of the total inspections, only differences in stomach contents were detected.
The fish from the treated pond along with newly ingested pellets, had lots of greenish color stuff similar to micro algae. In the case of the control, two of the fish only had a tiny presence of micro algae while tow of them had none.
For the gills no differences were observed, they all had the same color and just as with feces, no visual differences were found.
