Yeast-Based Compositions for Enhancing Rhizosphere Properties and Plant Health

摘要

Compositions and methods are provided for enhancing plant immunity, health, growth and yields, as well as enhancing rhizosphere properties, using beneficial microbes and/or their growth by-products. Specifically, the subject invention enhances plant health, growth and/or yields by applying a yeast-based composition to the plant (e.g., the roots) and/or its surrounding environment (e.g., the soil). Specifically, in one embodiment, the subject invention utilizes the killer yeast Wickerhamomyces anomalus and/or a species related closely thereto.
