Design of a Bacteriophage‐Based Product for Biocontrol of Fire Blight and Black Rot

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 9, September 2026.
Phytopathogenic bacteria threaten crops, and while chemical pesticides are effective, they harm ecosystems. Bacteriophages like ɸEF1, ɸEF2 and ɸXF1 show promise as biocontrol agents. They remain stable at 4°C and 20°C under neutral conditions, with stability enhanced by additives like CaCO3, improving field effectiveness for ecological and sustainable ...

A Non‐Destructive Method for Sex Identification in a Tubuliferan Thrips

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 9, Page 1135-1140, September 2026.
Accurate sex identification of the biological control agent Pseudophilothrips ichini Hood (Thysanoptera: Phlaeothripidae) is a useful tool for colony management and experimental applications in biological control. Destructive methods of sex identification limit specimen usage, prompting the need for a sex identification method for live thrips.
