Biological control of plant diseases – What has been achieved and what is the direction?
Biological control is coming of age and many products are commercially available. This review emphasizes the biology of the three‐way interactions involved and the long route to commercialization. Abstract The global sustainability agenda is increasing the demand for reduction in inputs into agricultural production while maintaining profitable yield of

Studies highlight how application timing of triazine or glyphosate in relation to pathogen infection is critical to rapeseed susceptibility to white leaf spot, Alternaria leaf spot, and downy mildew. Abstract Rapeseed (Brassica napus) production in Australia relies heavily on triazine‐or glyphosate‐tolerant cultivars. For 14 triazine‐tolerant cultivars,

Different Aspects of Weed Management in Maize (Zea mays L.): A Brief Review
Maize yield and weed concentration have a long history of reciprocal correspondence. The maize crop plant and weed species compete ruinously for nutrients, space, light, and water essential for their progress and advancement. The losses due to weed and methodologies of weed management have been discussed in this review.

Host-range dynamics of Cochliobolus lunatus: from a biocontrol agent to a severe environmental threat. [PDF]
We undertook an investigation to advance understanding of the host‐range dynamics and biocontrol implications of Cochliobolus lunatus in the past decade. Potato (Solanum tuberosum L) farms were routinely surveyed for brown‐to‐black leaf spot disease caused by C. lunatus. A biphasic gene data set was assembled and databases were mined for reported hosts
