Bacteria as Biological Control Agents of Plant Diseases

Microorganisms, 2022
Biological control is an effective and sustainable alternative or complement to conventional pesticides for fungal and bacterial plant disease management. Some of the most intensively studied biological control agents are bacteria that can use multiple mechanisms implicated in the limitation of plant disease development, and several bacterial-based ...

An Introduced Insect Biological Control Agent Preys on an Introduced Weed Biological Control Agent

Florida Entomologist, 2009
Biotic interference, especially by generalist predators, has been implicated in preventing establishment or limiting the impact of introduced weed biological control agents (Goeden & Louda 1976). Boreioglycaspis melaleucae Moore (Homoptera: Psyllidae) was released into Florida in 2002 as part of a classical biological control program targeting the ...

Probiotic Bacteria as Biological Control Agents in Aquaculture [PDF]

Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews, 2000
SUMMARY There is an urgent need in aquaculture to develop microbial control strategies, since disease outbreaks are recognized as important constraints to aquaculture production and trade and since the development of antibiotic resistance has become a matter of growing concern.
