Genetic Biocontrol for Invasive Species [PDF]

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020
Invasive species are increasingly affecting agriculture, food, fisheries, and forestry resources throughout the world. As a result of global trade, invasive species are often introduced into new environments where they become established and cause harm to human health, agriculture, and the environment. Prevention of new introductions is a high priority

Biocontrol yeasts: mechanisms and applications [PDF]

World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2019
AbstractYeasts occur in all environments and have been described as potent antagonists of various plant pathogens. Due to their antagonistic ability, undemanding cultivation requirements, and limited biosafety concerns, many of these unicellular fungi have been considered for biocontrol applications.

Biocontrol of food contamination [PDF]

Benha Veterinary Medical Journal, 2020
It is first important to understand what the potential hazards are when it comes to food safety. Food contamination refers to food that has been corrupted by another substance – either physical, biological or chemical. Biological contamination refers to food that is contaminated by organisms or substances they produce. This includes biological matter

Biocontrol mechanisms of Trichoderma strains. [PDF]

International microbiology : the official journal of the Spanish Society for Microbiology, 2004
The genus Trichoderma comprises a great number of fungal strains that act as biological control agents, the antagonistic properties of which are based on the activation of multiple mechanisms. Trichoderma strains exert biocontrol against fungal phytopathogens either indirectly, by competing for nutrients and space, modifying the environmental ...

Biocontrol Properties of Basidiomycetes: An Overview [PDF]

Journal of Fungi, 2017
In agriculture, there is an urgent need for alternate ecofriendly products to control plant diseases. These alternate products must possess preferable characteristics such as new modes of action, cost effectiveness, biodegradability, and target specificity.

Biocontrol, new questions for Ecotoxicology? [PDF]

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2018
International audience; Biocontrol strategies are viewed as an environment friendly alternative to the use of conventional synthetic pesticides to control pests or weeds in agrosystems and are expected to supersede the use of pesticides. Nevertheless, biocontrol solutions are not devoid of drawbacks. As encountered with conventional pesticides, one can

TOXORHYNCHITES AS BIOCONTROL AGENTS

Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association, 2007
Toxorhynchites is an unusual and interesting genus of large, non-biting mosquitoes. In spite of their size, they are--like many species of mosquitoes--completely harmless to man. The larvae are predaceous on other mosquitoes and aquatic organisms that inhabit both natural and artificial containers.

Biocontrol of Soilborne Plant Pathogens. [PDF]

The Plant Cell, 1996
Biocontrol involves harnessing disease-suppressive microor? ganisms to improve plant health. Disease suppression by biocontrol agents is the sustained manifestation of interactions among the plant, the pathogen, the biocontrol agent, the microbial community on and around the plant, and the physi? cal environment.
