Effects and Management of Parthenium hysterophorus: A Weed of Global Significance

open access: yesInternational Scholarly Research Notices, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Congress grass, Parthenium hysterophorus L., of the family Asteraceae (tribe: Heliantheae), is an erect and much branched annual or ephermeral herb, known for its notorious role as environmental, medical, and agricultural hazards. It is believed to have been introduced into India and Australia from North America and in the last few years the weed has ...

Survey and evaluation of promising mycoherbicides for the control of asyang [Mikania codata (Burm. F.) B. L. Robinson]

open access: yesAnnals of Tropical Research, 2007
The study surveyed and collected diseased specimens of asyang [Mikania cordata (Burm. F.) B. L. Robinson] from various places of Leyte and Sothern Leyte; isolated and identified the promising fungal pathogens (technically known as mycoherbicide) for the ...

Growth inhibition of arable weeds by cerato‐platanin, a plant immune defense activator of fungal origin

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 10, Page 6255-6264, October 2025.
Plants possess an innate immune system able to detect pathogens' molecules such as cerato‐platanin (CP), a protein produced by the fungus Ceratocystis platani. This study shows that the application of this protein elicitor to weeds can be exploited as a novel herbicide mode of action.

Elsinoe species: The rise of scab diseases

open access: yesPlant Pathology, Volume 74, Issue 1, Page 39-58, January 2025.
We critically evaluate research on the taxonomic status, phylogenetic relationships, host range, biology and epidemiology of Elsinoe causing scab diseases—a genus known for over 100 years but which remains poorly understood. Abstract The genus Elsinoe contains many aggressive pathogens of a wide range of plants, many of which are economically important.

Utility Potential of Parthenium hysterophorus for Its Strategic Management

open access: yesAdvances in Agriculture, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Parthenium hysterophorus, one of the world’s most dangerous weeds, is responsible for huge losses to the biodiversity, agriculture, economy, and health of livestock and human beings. High competitive success rate and adaptability of the species enable it to dominate diverse types of habitats.

Exogenous Cellulase Contributes to Mycoherbicidal Activity of Fusarium arthrosporioides on Orobanche aegyptiaca

open access: yesInternational 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.

Fungi beyond limits: The agricultural promise of extremophiles

open access: yesMicrobial 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.

Four pillars are required to support a successful biocontrol fungus

open access: yesPest 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 ...
