Fungi beyond limits: The agricultural promise of extremophiles
Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 17, Issue 3, March 2024.As the global climate evolves, understanding and harnessing the intricate mechanisms of fungal–plant interactions, especially in extreme environments, is paramount for developing effective and safe plant probiotics and using fungi as biocontrollers against phytopathogens.

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2010, Issue 1, 2010., 2010 The use of enzyme could facilitate pathogen penetration into plant host. Here the combination of cellulase and pectinase was ascertained on the pathogenicity of F. compactum (1.4 × 106 propagules ml−1) on broomrape tubercles. F. compactum alone infected all the inoculated tubercles but did not kill any significant number.

International Journal of Agronomy, 2010 This paper investigates an association between the tubercle size of Orobanche aegyptiaca, tubercle death, and days to tubercle death in relation to cellulase-assisted mycoherbicide.

Four pillars are required to support a successful biocontrol fungus
Pest Management Science, Volume 80, Issue 1, Page 35-39, January 2024.Four criteria (pillars) must be met to have a commercially viable biocontrol fungus: (i) enhanced virulence; (ii) inexpensive inocula; (iii) appropriate formulation; (iv) meet biosafety requirements. Abstract Despite biocontrol conceptually being a useful way to control specific pests, there are very few products that are used beyond the glasshouse ...

Pest Management Science, Volume 80, Issue 1, Page 87-91, January 2024.The leaf‐spot fungus Mycosphaerella polygoni‐cuspidati, associated with Reynoutria japonica in Japan, is considered to have mycoherbicidal potential against the invasive weed in its introduced ranges. Here, we report on our proof‐of‐concept research undertaken with the pathogen and discuss the concept of using non‐indigenous pathogens as mycoherbicides

AgronomyAnthracocystis panici-leucophaei, causal agent of smut on Digitaria insularis (sourgrass), was evaluated as a biological control agent for this weed. Two types of inocula (teliospore and sporidia) were tested to assess its infectivity.

The development and potential role of mycoherbicides for forestry
The Forestry Chronicle, 1992 With increasing intensification of forest management and limited options for control of competing vegetation, there is need for research on alternative vegetation management methods, including biological control. Most forest weeds in Canada are native species with useful as well as detrimental roles, and therefore classical biological control with ...

Evaluation of fungal isolates as possible biocontrol agents against Striga hermonthica
Journal of Crop Protection, 2014 Striga hermonthica is a parasitic weed which largely constrains maize and sorghum production in Western Kenya. The weed mostly invades small scale farms and depending on severity, it may cause damage ranging from 10% to complete crop failure thereby ...
