Biological control in Jamaica.
2020Abstract Jamaica has a rich history of successful biological control of more than 25 pests of economic and quarantine importance. Approximately 14 classical, 13 natural and six augmentative biocontrol programmes were recorded, as well as two fortuitous introductions.

Biological control of postharvest fungal decays in citrus: a review
Critical reviews in food science and nutrition, 2020Citrus (Citrus spp.) species produce a variety of fruits that are popular worldwide. Citrus fruits, however, are susceptible to postharvest decays caused by various pathogenic fungi, including Penicillium digitatum, Penicillium italicum, Geotrichum citri-

Chitinases in biological control
1999The public concern over the harmful effects of chemical pesticides on the environment and human health has enhanced the search for safer, environmentally friendly control alternatives. Control of plant pests by the application of biological agents holds great promise as an alternative to the use of chemicals.

Biological control of plant pathogens by Bacillus species.
Journal of Biotechnology, 2018Bacteria from the Bacillus group are microorganisms that inhabit a large number of different habitats. They are well known as producers of a wide array of antagonistic compounds of different structures, having between 5 to 8% of the total genome devoted ...

Engineering natural enemy shelters to enhance conservation biological control in field crops
Biological control (Print), 2019Conserving natural enemies has become the cornerstone for sustainable pest management. Conservation is often attained through habitat manipulation in order to create suitable conditions for supporting the populations of natural enemies.

AbstractVascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF‐A) belongs to a family of heparin binding growth factors that include VEGF‐B, VEGF‐C, VEGF‐D, and placental‐like growth factor (PLGF). First discovered for its ability to regulate vascular endothelial cell permeability, VEGF is a well‐known angiogenic factor that is important for vascular development ...

Abstract Classical biological control attempts from 1921 to 1944 were not effective. During the 1960s, an important success was obtained by controlling the rhodesgrass scale in thousands of hectares of pastures with an introduced parasitoid. Also biocontrol of wheat aphids by introduction of parasitoids and predators appeared effective. Further,

History, current situation and challenges for conservation biological control
Biological control (Print), 2019Meeting the growing global demand for agricultural products requires the development and use of ecologically-based strategies that will allow sustainable intensification based on ecosystem services. An important component of this approach is conservation

Biological control of helminths
International Journal for Parasitology, 1999As a potential component in future integrated parasite-control strategies, biological control by means of predacious fungi seems to be moving from a promising possibility toward becoming a reality, and the netforming nematode-destroying fungus Duddingtonia flagrans appears to be the candidate of choice.

Research into biological control of aphids continues. However, because of the high growth rates of aphid populations, it is unlikely that they can be fully controlled in all cases. Correct cultural practices (e.g. avoiding nitrogen overfertilization) may reduce the rate of increase of aphid populations and enhance the effectiveness of biological ...
