DESC:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present disclosure generally relates to the field of agrochemicals. Specifically, the present disclosure discloses a composition for enhancing the health of plants. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a composition for improving plant health comprising an insecticide, a mycorrhizal fungus and a plant health additive. The disclosure also relates to a method of improving plant health with the composition.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the present invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] Plants are a source of food and oxygen to humans and animals and thereby play a vital role in our lives. They are also essential to protect biodiversity and the ecosystem of nature. The need to maintain plant health is thus an absolute necessity. The term "health of a plant" or "plant health" is defined as a condition of the plant and/or its products. It is an umbrella term that includes a wide variety of components such as plant yield, height, shoot length/growth, fruit quality etc. Plant health may be impacted by elements including climate, soil, nutrients, surrounding environment, pests and/or diseases.
[0004] Maintenance of plant health is therefore challenging. Some of the strategies and practices explored by scientists for improving plant health include genetic modification. Plant varieties are developed that are resistant to abiotic stresses like draught, water salinity; or biotic stresses like attacks by pests and insects. Crop rotation is an alternative method wherein the soil nutrients and composition is optimized by growing different crops in a sequential manner over different seasons on the same plot of land. These methods may be challenging as well as time consuming. Some methods involve supplicating the plants with compositions capable of improving its health.
[0005] EP2561755 discloses nematicidal combination of flupyram and Mycorrhiza for controlling animal pests, such as insects and/or unwanted acarids and/or nematodes, in foliar and soil application and/or in seed treatment.
[0006] Despite the above methods, there is a continuous need to develop new and potent compositions that are capable of improving plant health to boost productivity and reduce damages in agriculture.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION
[0007] An object of the present disclosure is to provide a composition for improving the overall health of the plant.
[0008] An object of the present disclosure is to provide a composition for improving plant health by increasing the crop yield and resistance to biotic and/or abiotic stresses.
[0009] An object of the present disclosure is to provide a composition for improving plant health even in absence of pest pressure.

[00105] In an embodiment, the present disclosure relates to a process of preparing the composition comprising an insecticide, a mycorrhizal fungus and a plant health additive.
[00106] In an embodiment, the process may comprise the steps of mixing, blending, drying, packaging, inoculating, incubating, heating, combinations thereof and the like.
[00107] In an embodiment, the present disclosure relates to a method of improving plant health, wherein the method comprises treating the plant with an effective amount of a composition for improving plant health comprising an insecticide, a mycorrhizal fungus and a plant health additive.
[00108] Based on the formulation or composition the treatment may be performed by spraying, dusting, scattering, soaking and the like. It may be applied on the locus of the plant, including all plant parts, or plant propagules, or on the soil or turf of growth. It may be applied before or after the seeds are planted. In an embodiment, the plant may be treated at the seeds, stems, tubers, roots, bulbs, rhizomes, shoots or sprouts. The treatment may be done on the plant before transplant or before emergence from soil; or on seeds before germination. In an embodiment, the composition may be prophylactic in nature.
[00109] In an embodiment, the composition or formulation may be applied via tank mix method or sequential application.
[00110] In an especially preferred embodiment of the method according to the present disclosure, the health of a plant is increased both in the presence and absence of biotic or abiotic stress factors. The indicators-yield, plant vigor, quality and tolerance to abiotic or biotic stress-for the health condition of a plant may be interdependent or they may result from each other. An increase in plant vigor may for example result in an increased yield and/or tolerance to abiotic or biotic stress.
[00111] One indicator of the condition of the plant is the yield. "Yield" is to be understood as any plant product of economic value that is produced by the plant such as grains, fruits in the proper sense, vegetables, nuts, grains, seeds, wood (as in the case of silviculture plants) or even flowers (as in the case of gardening plants, or ornamentals). The plant products may in addition be further utilized and/or processed after harvesting.
[00112] In an especially preferred embodiment of the disclosure, the yield of the treated plant is increased.
[00113] In another preferred embodiment of the disclosure, the yield of the plants treated according to the method of the present disclosure, is increased synergistically.
[00114] According to the present disclosure, "increased yield" of a plant, in particular of an agricultural, silvicultural and/or horticultural plant means that the yield of a product of the respective plant is increased by a measurable amount over the yield of the same product of the plant produced under the same conditions, but without the application of the composition or formulation according to the disclosure.
[00115] Increased yield can be characterized, among others, by the following improved properties of the plant: increased plant weight, increased plant height, increased biomass such as higher overall fresh weight (FW), increased number of flowers per plant, higher grain yield, more tillers or side shoots (branches), larger leaves, increased shoot growth, increased protein content, increased oil content, increased starch content, increased pigment content, and/or increased leaf index.
[00116] According to the present disclosure, the yield is increased by at least 5%, preferable by 5 to 10 %, more preferable by 10 to 20 %, or even 20 to 30 % compared to the untreated control plants or plants treated with pesticides in a way different from the method according to the present disclosure. In general, the yield increase may even be higher.
[00117] A further indicator for the condition of the plant is the plant vigor. The plant vigor manifests in several aspects such as the general visual appearance. In another especially preferred embodiment of the disclosure, the plant vigor of the treated plant is increased. In another preferred embodiment of the disclosure, the plant vigor of the plants treated according to the method of the disclosure, is increased synergistically.
[00118] Improved plant vigor can be characterized, among others, by the following improved properties of the plant: improved vitality of the plant, improved plant growth, improved plant development, improved visual appearance, improved plant stand (less plant verse/lodging), improved emergence, enhanced root growth and/or more developed root system, enhanced nodulation, in particular rhizobial nodulation, bigger leaf blade, bigger size, increased plant weight, increased plant height, increased tiller number, increased number of side shoots, increased number of flowers per plant, increased shoot growth, increased root growth (extensive root system), increased yield when grown on poor soils or unfavourable climate, enhanced photosynthetic activity including based on increased stomatal conductance and/or increased CO2 assimilation rate, increased stomatal conductance, increased CO2 assimilation rate, enhanced pigment content including chlorophyll content, earlier flowering, earlier fruiting, earlier and improved germination, earlier grain maturity, improved self-defense mechanisms, improved stress tolerance and resistance of the plants against biotic and abiotic stress factors such as fungi, bacteria, viruses, insects, heat stress, cold stress, drought stress, UV stress and/or salt stress, less non-productive tillers, less dead basal leaves, less input needed including fertilizers or water, greener leaves, complete maturation under shortened vegetation periods, less fertilizers needed, less seeds needed, easier harvesting, faster and more uniform ripening, longer shelf-life, longer panicles, delay of senescence, stronger and/or more productive tillers, better extractability of ingredients, improved quality of seeds including for being seeded in the following seasons for seed production, better nitrogen uptake, improved reproduction, reduced production of ethylene and/or the inhibition of its reception by the plant.
[00119] The improvement of the plant vigor according to the present disclosure particularly means that the improvement of any one or several or all of the above mentioned plant characteristics are improved independently of the pesticidal action of the composition or active ingredients (components).
[00120] Another indicator for the condition of the plant is the "quality" of a plant and/or its products.
[00121] In an especially preferred embodiment of the disclosure, the quality of the treated plant is increased.
[00122] In another preferred embodiment of the disclosure, the quality of the plants treated according to the method of the invention, is increased synergistically.
[00123] According to the present disclosure, enhanced quality means that certain plant characteristics such as the content or composition of certain ingredients are increased or improved by a measurable or noticeable amount over the same factor of the plant produced under the same conditions, but without the application of the composition or formulation of the present disclosure.
[00124] Enhanced quality can be characterized, among others, by following improved properties of the plant or its product: increased nutrient content, increased protein content, increased content of fatty acids, increased metabolite content, increased carotenoid content, increased sugar content, increased amount of essential amino acids, improved nutrient composition, improved protein composition, improved composition of fatty acids, improved metabolite composition, improved carotenoid composition, improved sugar composition, improved amino acids composition, improved or optimal fruit color, improved leaf color, higher storage capacity, or higher processability of the harvested products.
[00125] Another indicator for the condition of the plant is the plant's tolerance or resistance to biotic and/or abiotic stress factors. Biotic and abiotic stress, especially over longer terms, can have harmful effects on plants. Biotic stress is caused by living organisms while abiotic stress is caused for example by environmental extremes. According to the present disclosure, "enhanced tolerance or resistance to biotic and/or abiotic stress factors" means (1.) that certain negative factors caused by biotic and/or abiotic stress are diminished in a measurable or noticeable amount as compared to plants exposed to the same conditions, but without being treated with the composition or formulation according to the present disclosure and (2.) that the negative effects are not diminished by a direct action of the composition according to the disclosure on the stress factors, including by its insecticidal action which directly destroys the microorganisms or pests, but rather by a stimulation of the plants' own defensive reactions against said stress factors.
[00126] The improvement in plant health, among others, may include one of the following:
• Synergistic control of insect and pests;
• Improved crop growth and vigour;
• Early plant establishment;
• Increase in crop yield and biomass;
• Increase in yield of treated plants;
• Increase in yield due to protection against insects and pests;
• Increase in yield due to plant growth regulation, and increase in reproductive parts of plant;
• Increase in yield due to more number of tillers, branches, sub branches, flowers, and fruits;
• Increase in tolerance to biotic stress including insects/pests damage, fungal, bacterial and viral diseases;
• Increase in tolerance to abiotic stress including weather stress, and moisture stress;
• Reduced lodging in susceptible plants including lodging due to biotic and abiotic factors;
• Improvement in quality which includes visual appearance, color, size, and shape of grains, fruits, fiber, flowers, tuber, bulb, rhizomes, straw, leaves and other plant parts and plant products;
• Improvement in keeping quality of produce and post-harvest life; and
• Uniform sizing in tuber, bulb, rhizome and root crops
[00127] In another embodiment, the present disclosure relates to a use of a composition for improving plant health comprising an insecticide, a mycorrhizal fungus and a plant health additive.
