Bacillus thuringiensis and its pest control potential as endophyte

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
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 ...

Foliar Fungicide Application Alters the Culturable Foliar Fungal Endophyte Community in Corn

Phytobiomes Journal
Fungicides have been applied to crops for decades with the primary aim of managing fungal pathogens and diseases. However, as interest in the plant microbiome has grown, so too have questions about potential nontarget effects of pest management on native microbiota.

Fungal disease management in cotton using plant protection products: An Australian perspective

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
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.

How do plant growth-promoting bacteria and auxin influence the nutrition and morphophysiology of soybean?

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Co-inoculation of plant growth-promoting bacteria and the application of hormones can be practical for soybeans. We aimed to evaluate the effect of co-inoculation methods of Azospirillum brasilense + Pseudomonas fluorescens and auxin application on the ...

Integrating DynamiCROP model and risk assessment for pesticide residues in spinach: Implications for food safety

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
This study adapted and validated the dynamiCROP model for spinach, a leafy vegetable not previously included in its standard framework. The findings confirm that model‐predicted pesticide concentrations, when integrated into hazard quotient (HQ) calculations, can effectively support dietary risk assessment.

Effects of Foliar Protector Application and Shading Treatments on the Physiology and Development of Common Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)

Plants
High solar radiation, combined with high temperature, causes losses in plant production. The application of foliar protector in plants is associated with improvements in photosynthesis, reduction in leaf temperature and, consequently, improved ...

Mode of Action of Adjuvants for Foliar Application

, 2016
Adjuvantien sind chemische Verbindungen, die einer Pflanzenschutzformulierung hinzugefügt werden, um die Wirkung der Aktivsubstanz oder die physikalisch-chemischen Eigenschaften der Spritzbrühe zu verbessern oder zu modifizieren. Sie können mehr als nur einen einzigen bestimmten Wirkmechanismus während der Blattflächenapplikation aufweisen, sodass sie ...

Amino acid vectorization of salicylic acid enables efficient activation of NPR1‐dependent defense without phytotoxicity

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Amino acid‐vectorized salicylic acid activates PR1/NPR1‐dependent defenses without phytotoxicity, showing an efficient strategy for controlled delivery and enhanced plant immunity. Abstract BACKGROUND Addressing global food security under rapid population growth and climate change requires sustainable strategies to protect crops from pathogens while ...

RNA interference in crop protection: opportunities and challenges during the transition to commercialization

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
RNA interference (RNAi) technologies, host‐induced gene silencing (HIGS) and spray‐induced gene silencing (SIGS), potentially offer sustainable crop protection. However, efficacy, costs, regulatory clarity, and socio‐environmental impacts require further evaluation for broader use.
