Parasitoids as biocontrol agents in India
Current Opinion in Insect ScienceAmid concerns over chemical pesticide resistance and its associated environmental hazards, parasitoids offer an alternative long-term solution to manage insect pests in agriculture. India's use of parasitoids in pest management has developed in tandem with the rest of the world, and this review summarizes the history of parasitoid-based biocontrol from

Harnessing Endophytes as Biocontrol Agents
2019Microbial endophytes represent an endosymbiotic group that colonizes internal plant tissues. Endophytes are one of the least studied and unexplored groups of microbes that need attention, so as to provide comprehensive knowledge regarding beneficial plant-microbe interactions.

Nematodes as Biocontrol Agents
2009The high cost of chemical pesticides, its adverse effect on the environment and development of resistance against chemicals in the host demand an alternative approach for crop pests management, which should be ecofriendly and cost-effective. Entomopathogenic nematodes belonging to genera Steinernema and Heterorhabditis together with their symbiotic ...

Satellites as Viral Biocontrol Agents
2017Despite the evidence that certain viral satellites do not encode any functional product, they can either induce specific disease symptoms or alter (exacerbate or attenuate) symptoms that helper viruses induce in some hosts. Viral satellites that attenuate symptoms have the potential to be used as viral biocontrol agents.

Pythium Species as Biocontrol Agents
2020Applying Biological Control Agents (BCAs) appears to be a promising and eco-friendly approach for the management of many plant pathogens. In the Pythium genus, some mycoparasitic species such as P. acanthicum, P. lycopersicum, P. mycoparasitic, P. nunn, P. oligandrum and P. periplocum have been effectively used to control wide range of plant pathogenic

Insect viruses as biocontrol agents
1993Virus diseases of insects and their role in the natural regulation of insect populations have been recognized for many years. When the virulence and insect-specific nature of some viruses was appreciated, research intensified on their potential as biological control agents and numerous field trials were carried out between 1950 and 1960 (Ignoffo, 1973).
