Pathogenic post-effect of entomopathogenic fungi on phytophagous pests and entomophagous biocontrol agents

Interactions Between Myxobacteria, Plant Pathogenic Fungi, and Biocontrol Agents

Myxobacteria are gram-negative, unicellular bacteria with rod-shaped vegetative cells. They are unique among prokaryotes for using intercellular communication to engage in cooperative morphogenesis from which they produce fruiting bodies bearing resistant myxospores (5). Thick-walled myxospores are responsible for the survival of myxobacteria under unfavorable conditions such as desiccation, hi...

Phytophagous Mites — Little Known Hosts of Entomopathogenic Fungi

Microbial Control of Pests: Entomopathogenic Fungi as Mycoinsecticides

Within the frame of this ISCB project, a biological approach based on the introduction of specific fungi that are highly pathogenic for Helicoverpa, will be developed to control the dreaded pests. Biological control using insectpathogenic fungi as mycoinsecticides is an appealing alternative to the application of chemicals. Entomophthoralean fungi can easily be massproduced on cheap substrates....

Combinations of biocontrol agents for management of plant-parasitic nematodes and soilborne plant-pathogenic fungi.

Numerous microbes are antagonistic to plant-parasitic nematodes and soilborne plant-pathogenic fungi, but few of these organisms are commercially available for management of these pathogens. Inconsistent performance of applied biocontrol agents has proven to be a primary obstacle to the development of successful commercial products. One of the strategies for overcoming inconsistent performance ...

effect of seed priming and irrigation regimes on yield,yield components and quality of safflowers cultivars

این مطالعه در سال 1386-87 در آزمایشگاه و مزرعه پژوهشی دانشگاه صنعتی اصفهان به منظور تعیین مناسب ترین تیمار بذری و ارزیابی اثر پرایمینگ بر روی سه رقم گلرنگ تحت سه رژیم آبیاری انجام گرفت. برخی از مطالعات اثرات سودمند پرایمینگ بذر را بر روی گیاهان مختلف بررسی کرده اند اما در حال حاضر اطلاعات کمی در مورد خصوصیات مربوط به جوانه زنی، مراحل نموی، عملکرد و خصوصیات کمی و کیفی بذور تیمار شده ژنوتیپ های م...
