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 ...

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.

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.

Uncoupling virulence and biocontrol
Nature Microbiology, 2019The secondary metabolite cepacin A is the essential compound made by Burkholderia ambifaria needed for biocontrol of plant pathogens. In this organism, genes responsible for virulence and for cepacin A biosynthesis reside on different replicons, allowing for the engineering of avirulent mutants that retain their biocontrol properties.

Today, in terms of food safety and biocontrol, sales professionals promote phages as 'natural born killers'. This is mainly because bacteriophages feature unique and efficient mechanisms to specifically target and eliminate bacteria. According to the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses, tailed phages are further separated into three distinct
