Commercialization and Implementation of Biocontrol
Annual Review of Phytopathology, 2005Although the number of biocontrol products is increasing, these products still represent only about 1% of agricultural chemical sales. Yet these are important contributions because biocontrol agents offer disease management alternatives with different mechanisms of action than chemical pesticides.

Biocontrol Science and Technology, 2000
Mites and ticks are susceptible to pathogenic fungi, and there are opportunities to exploit these micro-organisms for biological control. We have collated records of 58 species of fungi infecting at least 73 species of Acari, either naturally or in experiments.

Bacteriophage biocontrol in wastewater treatment
World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2016Waterborne bacterial pathogens in wastewater remains an important public health concern, not only because of the environmental damage, morbidity and mortality that they cause, but also due to the high cost of disinfecting wastewater by using physical and chemical methods in treatment plants.

Biocontrol of Foodborne Bacteria
2011Through the ages humans have used protective cultures in the manufacture of meat (salami) and milk (cheese) products through the serendipitous inclusion of lactic acid bacteria. The early producers of these fermented foods were unwittingly harnessing biocontrol, the use of a biological means to control a “pest” (in this case foodborne pathogens), to ...

Life as a Biocontrol Pseudomonad [PDF]
, 2004 Many Pseudomonas strains can benefit plants directly, by promoting plant growth and health, and/or indirectly through inhibition of, or competition with pathogens, parasites, or plant competitors21, 32, 39, 43,60,79. Not all pseudomonads have biocontrol capacities, and among those that do certain display several different biocontrol mechanisms. Current

Plant pathogens such as fungi, bacteria, viruses, nematodes, etc., which cause various diseases in crop plants, are controlled by plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). The mechanisms of biocontrol may be competition or antagonism; however, the most studied phenomenon is the induction of systemic resistance by these rhizobacteria in the host ...

Biocontrol of Insects and Nematodes
2020The biotic pathogens that inhibit plant growth are not limited to fungi and bacteria but also include many species of insects and nematodes. In this chapter, the biocontrol of insects and nematodes are discussed in detail. By far, the most well-known and well-studied biocontrol bacteria for the prevention of insect predation and damage includes the ...

BioControl, 2007
In autumn 1996 I was made aware of the plans for a complete overhaul of the IOBC scientific journal, and of the creation of ‘‘BioControl’’. The request by the IOBC President to me to become the first Editor-in-Chief of this newborn journal was flattering, and as I am usually not shy of exciting new challenges, an agreement was quickly found.

Biocontrol of Bacteria and Fungi
2020In this chapter the indirect promotion of plant growth is discussed in some detail (i.e., their use as biocontrol bacteria). That is, the many mechanisms that plant growth-promoting bacteria use to prevent the proliferation of bacterial and fungal plant pathogens are considered.
