Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to means and methods comprising Paraburkholderia bacteria for use in preventing and/or controlling plant pests, in particular Erwinia amylovora which constitutes the causative agent of fire blight. The present invention thus relates to novel non- medical uses of Paraburkholderia bacteria for preventing and/or controlling pests on a plant and/or on a temporary part of a plant and/or being located inside of a plant. Furthermore, the present invention relates to methods and compositions comprising Paraburkholderia bacteria for preventing and/or controlling such pests on a plant and/or on a temporary part of a plant and/or being located inside of a plant as well as to the use of Paraburkholderia bacteria for the preparation of such compositions. Further provided are kits comprising components used in the methods and compositions of the invention. The inventive use of Paraburkholderia bacteria for the prevention and/or control of plant pests are, without being limiting, particularly useful in commercial crop protection campaigns, particularly against the causative agent of fire blight, Erwinia amylovora.
