Characterization and biological activity of Bacillus thuringiensis isolates that are potentially useful in insect pest control
(IntechOpen, 2012)
The current study shows a screening of 490 samples from 40 different agricultural environments in Argentina for B. thuringiensis strains that exhibited toxicity against Lepidoptera. Fourteen strains of B. thuringiensis ...
Biological control of strawberry grey mold disease caused by Botrytis cinerea mediated by Colletotrichum acutatum extracts
(Springer, 2020-02)
Despite the negative impact on human, animal and environmental health, synthetic fungicides are the most common agrochemicals used to control Botrytis cinerea, the causal agent of grey mold disease. Strawberry plants are ...
Survival of the biological control agent Candida sake CPA‐1 on grapes under the influence of abiotic factors
(Wiley, 2014-09)
Aims: As reliability of preharvest applications of biological control agents (BCAs) to control fruit pathogens is highly dependent on the survival of the selected organism, this study aimed to describe the population ...
Biological control of Fusarium graminearum sensu stricto, causal agent of Fusarium head blight of wheat, using formulated antagonists under field conditions in Argentina
(2016-03)
Fusarium head blight (FHB) mainly caused by Fusarium graminearum is a devastating disease that causes extensive yield and quality losses to wheat in humid and semi-humid regions of the world. The biocontrol effect of two ...
Contributions to improve current environmental risk assessment procedures of generalist arthropod biological control agents (GABCAs) in Argentina
(Springer, 2020-11-06)
Argentina has over 100 years of experience in classical biological control, mostly based on the importation of biological control agents (BCAs) against arthropod pests. We present the state-of-the-art of the importation ...
Beneficial effect of Bacillus sp. P12 on soil biological activities and pathogen control in common bean
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2020-02)
Soil is the foundation for agriculture and the medium where almost all food-producing plants are grown. Extensive use of fertilizers and pesticides has affected soil quality, with dangerous ecological effects; therefore, ...
RNAi Expression in Cotton for Control of Herbivorous Insects
(Springer, 2022)
Cultivated cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) is heavily attacked by various species of insects worldwide and breeding of new varieties resistant to pests is still a hard battle to win. RNAi technology is an important reverse ...
Effect of Three Post-Emergence Herbicides on Coffee Growth and Weed ControlTítulo en español
(University of Puerto Rico Mayagüez Campus Agricultural Experiment Station, 1983)
The pest kill rate of thirteen natural enemies as aggregate evaluation criterion of their biological control potential of Tuta absoluta
(Springer, 2021-05-24)
Ecologists study how populations are regulated, while scientists studying biological pest control apply population regulation processes to reduce numbers of harmful organisms: an organism (a natural enemy) is used to reduce ...
