Critical Reviews in Biotechnology, 1997
The harmful effects of chemical pesticides on the environment and human health have inspired a search for safer, environmentally-friendly control alternatives. The great advances in biotechnology, supported by basic studies utilizing molecular biology tools, have made biological control (i.e., the use of antagonistic microorganisms, fungi, or bacteria ...

Microorganisms as Biocontrol Products
2022Biocontrol of plant diseases and pests is a very dynamic area of research, and many microbial biocontrol agents have been identified and deployed for plant pest management. However, the available products do not yet cover all plant pests. While examples of microbial biocontrol agents with consistent efficacy have been described, the use of ...

The Challenge of Biocontrol Deployment
2022This chapter explains how deploying biocontrol methods on a large scale and by a large number of stakeholders is a key challenge for research and innovation, and is at least as important as developing new methods. We introduce two types of challenges related to biocontrol deployment.

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2000
Abstract:The increasing resistance of arthropodes to pesticides, their high price, and the growing public demand for safer food and a cleaner environment are obliging animal growers to minimize the use of pesticides by introducing alternative means for tick control.

Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 1975
Techniques of modelling and simulation are discussed as they relate to bioengineering systems. The advantages and disadvantages of different analytical engineering methods utilized to gather information concerning the behavior of complex physiological and neuromuscular control mechanisms are explained.

Trends in Ecology & Evolution
Biocontrol agents can significantly reduce the growth and performance of individual invasive plants but often have limited success in controlling invasions. Here, we suggest that some biocontrol failures may be understood by distinguishing between individual plant performance and the performance of groups growing in monoculture.

Biocontrol—risky but necessary?
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1998There is currently much debate concerning the risks of biological control and the potential harmful effects of nonindigenous species introduced for controlling exotic pests. Biocontrol advocates generally appear reluctant to accept the possibility that there could be side-effects associated with biocontrol, often refuting evidence of harmful effects ...

Exploitation of mycoparasites as biocontrol agents in agriculture is well-documented. A number of them have shown potential to control Rhizoctonia solani in a diversity of crops or sites, alone or integrated with chemical or mechanical techniques. In respect to the pathogen’s behaviour on the plant surface, the biocontrol effect ranges from niche ...

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.
