Environmental control of indoor biologic agents

Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 1994
The indoor environment contains unique pollutants, such as environmental tobacco smoke and indoor allergens. In addition, air pollutants may reach higher levels indoors than outdoors, and in some instances may exceed the national standards for outdoor exposure.

Biological Agents for Controlling Excessive Scarring

American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2010
The potential of various biological agents to reduce or prevent excessive scar formation has now been evaluated in numerous in-vitro studies, experimental animal models and preliminary clinical trials, in some cases with particularly promising results.

Application of Biological Control Agents

2020
This chapter discusses principles believed by the authors to be important to the application of biological control agents, rather than to review the entire body of literature. Because of research interests with the biological control of soil-borne pathogens, most examples presented will be for soil-borne pathogens.

Barriers to adoption of biological control agents and biological pesticides.

CABI Reviews, 2007
Abstract Biological (bio)pesticides represent 2.4% of the global pesticide market, but this share is growing quickly and is projected to double by 2010. In contrast, the market for chemical pesticides is flat to declining as transgenic seeds have reduced sprays and governments have restricted or removed products from the market.

Importation of Biological Control Agents

The Canadian Entomologist, 1964
The introduction of natural enemies of an insect pest from foreign countries is one method of biological control which relies on the addition of missing factors to increase pest mortality. The Research Institute, Belleville is the Canadian agent that obtains and provides biological control information and material required anywhere in Canada from ...

Commercial availability of biological control agents.

2003
The commercial use of biological control has seen a very fast development during the past 30 years. Currently, about 85 companies worldwide produce more than 125 species of natural enemies. The largest variety of commercially produced species of natural enemies is available in Europe, mainly as a result of a much larger greenhouse industry in Europe ...

Trichoderma as a Biological Control Agent

2011
Trichoderma species are free-living fungi that are common in soil and root ecosystems. Some strains establish root colonization and enhance growth and development, crop productivity, resistance to abiotic stresses and uptake and use of nutrients. Trichoderma species can antagonize and control a wide range of economically important plant pathogenic ...

Fungi as Biological Control Agents

2019
Nowadays, use of a fungal biocontrol agent (BCA) is considered to be a rapidly developing natural phenomenon in research area with implications for plant yield and food production. Fungal biocontrol agents (BCAs) do not cause any harm to the environment, and they generally do not develop resistance in various types of insects, pests, weeds, and ...

Need for quality control of massproduced biological control agents.

2003
Mass-rearing of natural enemies often takes place in small companies with little know-how and understanding of conditions influencing performance, which may result in natural enemies of bad quality and failures with biological control. This makes robust quality control programmes a necessity.
