Bacillus pumilus (NRRL Accession No. B- 30087), Bacillus pumilus AQ71 7 (NRRL Accession No. B-21662), Bacillus 10 sp. AQl 75 (ATCC Accession No. 55608), Bacillus sp. AQl 77 (ATCC Accession No, 55609), Bacillus sp. AQI 78 (ATCC Accession No. 53522), Bacillus subtilis AQ743 (NRRL Accession No. B-21665), Bacillus subtilis AQ71 3 (NRRL Accession No. B- 21661), Bacillus subtilis AQI 53 (ATCC Accession No. 55614), Bacillus thuringiensis BD#32 (NRRL Accession No, B-21530), Bacillus thuringiensis AQ52 (NRRL Accession No. B-21 61 9), Muscodor albus 620 (NRRL 15 Accession No. 30547), Muscodor roseus A3-5 (NRRL Accession No. 30548), Rhodococcus globerulus AQ71 9 (NRRL Accession No. B-21663), Streptomyces galbus (NRRL Accession No. 30232), Streptomyces sp. (NRRL Accession No. B-30145), Bacillus thuringiensis subspec. kurstaki BMP 123, Bacillus subtilis AQ30002 (NRRL Accession No, B-50421), and Bacillus subtilis AQ 30004 (NRRL Accession No. B-50455) and/or a mutant of these strains having all 20 the identifying characteristics of the respective strain, and/or a metabolite produced by the respective strain that exhibits activity against insects, mites, nematodes and/or phytopathogens and at least one insecticide in a synergistically effective amount, with the proviso that the biological control agent and the insecticide are not identical. Furthermore, the present invention relates to the use of this composition as well as a method for reducing overall damage of plants 25 and plant parts. 8122856_1 (GHMatters) P98417.AU.1 14/11/16
