Baculoviruses — re-emerging biopesticides [PDF]

Biotechnology Advances, 2006
Biological control of agricultural pests has gained importance in recent years due to increased pressure to reduce the use of agrochemicals and their residues in the environment and food. Viruses of a few families are known to infect insects but only those belonging to the highly specialized family Baculoviridae have been used as biopesticides.

Reducing copper inputs through integration of essential oil‐based formulations: laboratory and 2‐year vineyard evaluation against Plasmopara viticola

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Combining an essential oil (EO)‐based formulation with copper effectively controls Plasmopara viticola. Field trials showed a 92–99% protection with lower copper inputs, achieving a 45% copper reduction without compromising efficacy. This approach supports EO‐based products as sustainable alternatives for grapevine downy mildew management.
