Mycoherbicides and other biocontrol agents for Senecio spp

Pesticide Science, 1993
AbstractClassical biocontrol of Senecio jacobaea (ragwort) has generally utilised herbivorous insects, although the nisi Puccinia expansa has also been considered. Although this rust is specific and damaging in the glasshouse. It has not been used in the field.Research into the ecophysiology of Senecio vulgaris (groundsel) infected by the rust Puccinia

Inoculum production of Phaeoramularia, a potential mycoherbicide for crofton weed

Australasian Plant Pathology, 1997
Factors likely to influence the production of Phaeoramularia sp. as a mycoherbicide to control crofton weed (Ageratina adenophora) were investigated. The fungus grew best on potato-dextrose agar (PDA) and carnation leaf-piece agar and sporulated best on PDA and a decoction agar made from A. adenophora. The fungus grew and sporulated best at 20 and 25°C

Progress in the Production, Formulation, and Application of Mycoherbicides

1991
Chemical herbicides have been the mainstay for weed control practices in the United States since the end of World War II and are responsible for much of the unparalleled increased crop productivity that has occurred during this period (38). The high costs involved in developing and registering chemical herbicides and recent trends in environmental ...

APPROACHES TO AND SUCCESSES IN DEVELOPING TRANSGENICALLY ENHANCED MYCOHERBICIDES

2007
Inundative mycoherbicides have not been successful in weed con- trol in row crops, probably due to evolutionary barriers, and adding virulence factors was considered essential. Exogenous addition of the products of vari- ous genes was used to ascertain synergy as a prelude to adding them transgeni- cally.

Feasibility of Using Mycoherbicides for Controlling Illicit Drug Crops

2011
he control of illicit-drug trafficking and drug use is a difficult and complex process that involves a variety of prevention, control, treatment, and law enforcement strategies. Eradication strategies for controlling illicit-drug crops are used to target the beginning of the drug-supply chain by preventing or reducing crop yields.

Biotechnology for the Production and Enhancement of Mycoherbicide Potential

1999
Pest species cause billions of dollars of damage annually, displace native species of plants and animals, and cause other types of environmental and social damage (Delfosse and Moorhouse, 1992). There is a worldwide effort to move toward the use of ecologically safe ‘environmentally friendly’ methods of protecting crops from pests and pathogens ...

Vegetable oil suspension emulsions reduce dew dependence of a mycoherbicide

Crop Protection, 1993
Abstract The use of vegetable oil suspension emulsions in controlled-environment conditions to reduce dew dependence in the mycoherbicide based on the fungus Colletotrichum orbiculare to control the weed Xanthium spinosum is reported. Spores of C. orbiculare were dried with kaolin to produce a powder containing 1 × 109 spores g−1.
