Biological Control in the Phyllosphere
Annual Review of Phytopathology, 1992This article considers biological control in the leaf-surface habitat within a broad ecological context, with emphasis on plant-microbe interactions. The form of biocontrol discussed is microbial antagonism by epiphytes or en dophytes. Thus, for the sake of some focus, I do not consider mechanisms such as induced resistance, cross protection, and ...

Abstract Parthenium weed (Parthenium hysterophorus) is susceptible to herbivory, but there are no herbivores or pathogens in the introduced ranges that are known to exert any critical impact on parthenium weed. Classical biological control, using host-specific (highly selective) natural enemies introduced from the native range of the plant, to ...

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 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.

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 ...

Ecological problems created by chemical insect control methods and their relevance to human health are receiving serious attention everywhere. There are two types of economic problems caused by insects. One concerns the loss of production that results from damage to crops and the effect on the health of human beings and also the health of domestic ...

Abstract Parasitoids were first introduced into Belize in 1969 for control of Anastrepha spp. fruit flies, but although this and other classical biocontrol attempts sometimes resulted in establishment, control was insufficient. During the same period, natural control of the West Indian cane fly was documented.

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.

Abstract Biocontrol on Haiti is mainly in the form of classical biological control. Successful early projects are control of citrus blackfly by a hymenopteran parasitoid since the 1930s and control of the sugarcane borer by an introduced tachinid parasitoid since 1953. After 1970 three hymenopteran parasitoids were introduced for control of the

▪ Abstract Classical biological control, i.e. the introduction and release of exotic insects, mites, or pathogens to give permanent control, is the predominant method in weed biocontrol. Inundative releases of predators and integrated pest management are less widely used.
