Shipping augmentative biocontrol agents

Revue Scientifique et Technique de l'OIE, 2022
The majority of worldwide trading in live arthropods is done by specialised companies that produce and distribute beneficial insects, mites and nematodes for augmentative biological control of pests on crops. These beneficial arthropods, predators or parasitoids of crop pests and some nuisance species, which are harmless to humans, plants and other ...

Biocontrol Agents Against Diseases

2020
Biological control against plant diseases has been extensively studied in recent decades, leading to the identification and development of a significant number of biocontrol agents with various modes of action. Considerable scientific and industrial investments are needed for the development and the commercialization of these protection tools.

Microbial Biocontrol Agents

2022
The negative impact of chemical pesticides on human wellbeing and the environment has encouraged the development of eco-friendly alternatives for the management of plant pathogens. However, only a small number of microbial biocontrol agents (mBCAs) have been developed, registered and used in the management of plant diseases.

Mycorrhizae As Biocontrol Agents

2002
Alterations in the overall rhizosphere community can be borne-out by changes in the mycorrhizal community. It is well established that different crops and management practices can alter the mycorrhizal community assemblage around plant roots. Therefore, it is possible to alter the biotic community of a given rhizosphere for a favorable situation, such ...

Formulating microbial biocontrol agents

Pesticide Science, 1999
Micro-organisms can be used to provide a crop protection effect, but to exploit this it is necessary to deliver viable micro-organisms as a formulated product suitable for agronomic application, which presents a significant challenge to formulation technology.

Antibiotic production by bacterial biocontrol agents

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 2002
Interest in biological control of plant pathogens has been stimulated in recent years by trends in agriculture towards greater sustainability and public concern about the use of hazardous pesticides. There is now unequivocal evidence that antibiotics play a key role in the suppression of various soilborne plant pathogens by antagonistic microorganisms.

Microbes as Biocontrol Agents

2017
Phytopathogens pose a major threat to ecosystem stability and food production, indicating the need for developing methods to control the severe losses caused by these pathogens. To control these pathogens, the use of various chemical pesticides is majorly practiced.

Biocontrol Agents for Controlling Wheat Rust

2017
Bacterial endophytes are potential biocontrol agents of wheat rusts. Apart from disease control, these bacterial endophytes have growth-promoting efficacies which differ significantly from one isolate to another. Here, we describe the procedure for isolation, screening, and identification of endophytic bacterial isolates with high capacities to ...
