Biological Control of Vertebrate Pests

Optimal Spraying in Biological Control of Pests

Fairly recent researches have highlighted the role that generalist predators, i.e., predators that feed on several species, have on pests in agriculture, so that their presence in agroecosystems should be fostered [26]. For instance, it is well known that toward the end of the nineteenth century, the European vineyards Vitis vinifera suffered from the accidental introduction of the plant louse ...

ACREMONIUM-ENDOPHYTES OF PERENNIAL RYEGRASS (Lolium perenne) IN FRANCE

13-17 ABSTRACT Infection with endophytic fungi (Acremonium spp.) was detected in seeds of wild populations of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) collected in France by private breeding companies and INRA. In total, 262 populations were examined and 70% contained Acremonium. It is worth noticing that most populations are endophyte infected but generally endophyte infection rates per population ...

Bacterial endophytes: Bacillus spp. from annual crops as potential biological control agents of black pod rot of cacao

Diseases are the most important factors limiting production of Theobroma cacao in South America. Because of high disease pressure and environmental concerns, biological control is a pertinent area of research for cacao disease management. In this work, we evaluated the ability of four Bacillus spp. isolated from vegetable crops, for their ability to colonize T. cacao seedlings and reduce the se...
