Plant pathogens as biocontrol agents of Cirsium arvense : an overestimated approach? [PDF]
, 2011 Cirsium arvense is one of the worst weeds in agriculture. As herbicides are not very effective and not accepted by organic farming and special habitats, possible biocontrol agents have been investigated since many decades.

Mycoherbicides: Opportunities for genetic manipulation
Pesticide Science, 1989 AbstractPossibilities of using genetic manipulation to improve the effectiveness of mycoherbicides are discussed. Particular emphasis is given to fungal genes involved in the production of specialised structures essential for colonisation and reproduction in pathogenesis and in regulating pathogen specificity.

Efficacy of granular Pesta mucilage formulation of Fusarium oxysporum for biological control of Egyptian broomrape Phelipanche aegyptiaca (Pers.) Pomel. in tomato fields [PDF]
Journal of Crop ProtectionOne of the employed formulations in the biological control of broomrape is the application of a Pesta granular formulation using semolina, sucrose, and kaolin. In this study, the efficacy of Pseta granular formulation of Fusarium oxysporum by using 3, 5,

International Deployment of Microbial Pest Control Agents: Falling Between the Cracks of the Convention on Biological Diversity and the Cartagena Biosafety Protocol? [PDF]
, 2013 This paper considers one tangled web of conflicting developments. It involves the popular desire to replace chemical pesticides with more “natural” biological control strategies, plus a slowly emerging awareness of a less benign side to microbial pest ...

Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms: Uses, Challenges, Threats, and Prospects
The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020 Water hyacinths pose serious challenges to humanity and the environment. Considering the enormity of the menace associated with the growth and spread of the plant and the difficulty in achieving a single, generally acceptable control method, it is becoming increasingly imperative to explore the potentials of the plant.

International Journal of Agronomy, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020 Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) production in sub‐Saharan Africa is seriously constrained by both biotic and abiotic stresses. Among the biotic stresses is witchweed (Striga spp.), a noxious parasitic weed causing major damage in cereal crops, such as sorghum.

The influence of the carbohydrate levels on viability of Stagonospora cirsii drying mycelium
BIO Web of Conferences, 2020 The Stagonospora cirsii mycelium is considered as the infectious basis of a potential mycoherbicide for the control of Canadian thistle and perennial sow thistle. Successful commercialization of mycoherbicides is often constrained by poor drying survival.
