Unlocking agro-ecosystem sustainability: exploring the bottom-up effects of microbes, plants, and insect herbivores. [PDF]

Integr Zool
Microorganism‐released metabolites, proteins, or toxins modulate plant‐based targets to regulate physiological processes such as phytohormone and nutrition balance and stress resistance. Microbes that affect plant physiological processes regulate the visual, olfactory, and gustatory cues associated with plants to attract or repel insect herbivores and ...

Semiochemical applications for managing the grey field slug (Deroceras reticulatum Müller), a major pest of arable crops. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
Trends in semiochemical research highlight promising attractants and repellents for ‘push–pull’ pest control strategies of the grey field slug. Extracts from plants, predators, entomopathogenic fungi, and essential oils demonstrate potential in modifying grey field slug behaviour, inducing avoidance, antifeeding responses, or mortality, offering ...

Management practice and soil properties affect plant productivity and root biomass in endophyte‐symbiotic and endophyte‐free meadow fescue grasses

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 2, Issue 1, Page 16-25, March 2023., 2023
Mowing practices can determine the biomass of grasses above and below ground. Interactions with additional stressors, such as long‐term herbicide use, inhibits plant biomass productivity above and below ground, which counteracts sustainable development goals in agricultural practices.

Review of cool‐season turfgrass water use and requirements: II. Responses to drought stress

Crop Science, Volume 62, Issue 5, Page 1685-1701, September/October 2022., 2022
Abstract Knowledge of drought resistance of cool‐season turfgrasses is important because drought stress can occur wherever they are grown even in humid regions with wet climates. This review is Part II of two companion papers that review water use and requirements in cool‐season turfgrasses.

Moving warm‐season forage bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.) into temperate regions of North America

Grass and Forage Science, Volume 77, Issue 2, Page 141-150, June 2022., 2022
Abstract Georgia, located in the Southeastern USA, has been historically dominated by two perennial forage grass production systems. Tall fescue (Lolium arundinaceum [Schreb.] S.J. Darbyshire) is more prevalent in the northern parts of the state, while bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] is ubiquitous to the southern portion. Climatologists have

Biological control of plant diseases – What has been achieved and what is the direction?

Plant Pathology, Volume 71, Issue 5, Page 1024-1047, June 2022., 2022
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

Exposure to Ergot Alkaloids During Gestation Reduces Fetal Growth in Sheep

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2014
Tall fescue [Lolium arundinaceum (Schreb.) Darbysh; Schedonorus phoenix (Scop.) Holub] is the primary cool season perennial grass in the eastern U.S. Most tall fescue contains an endophyte (Neotyphodium coenophialum), which produces ergot alkaloids that ...

Ergot alkaloids in New Zealand pastures and their impact

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 65, Issue 1, Page 1-41, February 2022., 2022
ABSTRACT In identifying endophytes for use in pastures in New Zealand there have been two strategies used, either exclusion of ergopeptine and lolitrem alkaloids or, retaining some ergopeptine expression to enhance the stability of natural defences against invertebrate pests. Both have their strengths and weaknesses.
