This review describes the current research status regarding implementation of predatory fungi in biological control approach bird gastrointestinal (GI) parasitosis. The main GI parasites Galliformes (e.g., broilers, layers, peacocks, pheasants) and Ratites ostriches, emus, rheas) are addressed, as well their impact on farms, zoos, private collections. characteristics biocontrol with briefly des...

In South Asian countries, the lucrative production of peaches has been seriously threatened by an assortment biotic stresses especially nematodes. This situation compromises achievement sustainable development goals (SDGs) related to food security and zero hunger. Recently under changing climate, root-knot nematodes genus Meloidogyne have emerged as most damaging phytopathogenic nematodes, whil...

Resorcylic acid lactones are fungal polyketides that display diverse biological activities, with the potent Hsp90 inhibitor radicicol being an important representative member. Two fungal iterative polyketide synthases (IPKSs), Rdc5, the highly reducing IPKS, and Rdc1, the nonreducing IPKS, are required for the biosynthesis of radicicol in Pochonia chlamydosporia. In this study, the complete rec...

Chitin was used as soil amendment in fiberglass field microplots, alone or with one or a combination of two to three species of Hirsutella rhossiliensis, Paecilomyces marquandii, Verticillium chlamydosporium, Bacillus thuringiensis, and Streptomyces costaricanus. Sudangrass and rapeseed were planted as cover crops and incorporated into soil as green manure amendments. Chitin amendment alone inc...
