The state of commercial augmentative biological control: plenty of natural enemies, but a frustrating lack of uptake [PDF]

, 2011
Augmentative biological control concerns the periodical release of natural enemies. In com- mercial augmentative biological control, natural enemies are mass-reared in biofactories for release in large numbers to obtain an immediate control of pests. The

Analysis of Cell Death Induction by the Barley NLR Immune Receptor PBR1

PhytoFrontiers, 2023
The barley (Hordeum vulgare subsp. vulgare) disease-resistance protein AvrPphB Response 1 (PBR1) mediates recognition of the Pseudomonas syringae effector, AvrPphB. PBR1 belongs to the coiled-coil nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat family.

Microorganisms and Biological Pest Control: An Analysis Based on a Bibliometric Review

Agronomy, 2020
The use of microorganisms for biological pest control as biological control agents (BCAs) and biopesticides was developed worldwide in the 1960s. Despite the abundance of reviews published on this topic, no meta-analysis using bibliometric tools has been

Tanggap fungsional predator Menochilus sexmaculatus (Fabricius) dan Micraspis lineata (Thunberg) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) terhadap kutukebul Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) dan kutudaun Myzus persicae (Sulzer) (Hemiptera: Aphididae)

Jurnal Entomologi Indonesia, 2021
The whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) and the aphid, Myzus persicae (Sulzer) are important pests in tomato and chilli pepper. These pests directly attack and as a viral vector can decrease the production of tomato and chili ...

The shape of the predator biomass distribution affects biological pest control services in agricultural landscapes

Functional Ecology, 2020
1. Understanding how community composition of service-providing organisms affects ecosystem functioning is a key challenge in ecology. Although it has been proposed that taxonomic diversity and functional traits mediate this relationship, how several ...

Time to Step Up Conservation: Climate Change Will Further Reduce the Suitable Habitats for the Vulnerable Species Marbled Polecat (Vormela peregusna)

Animals, 2023
Habitat loss and human threats are putting the marbled polecat (Vormela peregusna) on the brink of extinction. Numerous recent studies have found that climate change will further deteriorate the living environment of endangered species, leading to their ...

Key role of environmental competence in successful use of entomopathogenic fungi in microbial pest control

Journal of Pest Science, 2023
One of the main negative effects of climate change on biological pest control is alteration of relationships between insect pests and their natural enemies (both entomophagous and entomopathogenic).

Pareto-efficient biological pest control enable high efficacy at small costs [PDF]

, 2017
Biological pest control is increasingly used in agriculture as a an alternative to traditional chemical pest control. In many cases, this involves a one-off or periodic release of entomopathogens.
