Bacillus thuringiensis and its pest control potential as endophyte
Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) systemically colonizes tomato plants as endophyte, inducing midgut damage, fitness reduction and immune suppression in Spodoptera littoralis larvae feeding on Bt‐colonized leaves. The immune suppression enhances the susceptibility to Bt treatments, allowing a synergistic dual use of Bt commercial formulations, by combined ...

Fungal disease management in cotton using plant protection products: An Australian perspective
Cotton disease management requires evidence‐driven use of plant protection products. Progress hinges on integrating chemistry, diagnostics, stewardship and sustainability to build resilient production systems. Abstract Cotton production faces persistent challenges from pathogens that compromise plant establishment, yield, and fibre quality.

As little as 1–10% of the population is needed to be resistant for demethylation inhibitor fungicides to be rendered ineffective. Following a single round of selection, the frequency increases by more than 15% with limited fitness penalty detected when no selection is present.

Rhizobacterial inoculation of barley reduced Sitobion avenae populations by inducing plant resistance and modifying volatiles that attracted parasitoid wasps earlier, enhancing both bottom‐up and top‐down pest control. Abstract BACKGROUND Soil rhizobacteria can enhance crop resistance to insect herbivores and influence higher trophic interactions ...
