We report the genome sequence of an alphabaculovirus from the gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar) biopesticide Virin-ENSh. The genome sequence is 161,712 bp, and its structure and sequence similarity indicate that the virus used in Virin-ENSh is a strain of the species Lymantria dispar multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus.

Pseudomonas sp. strain KENGFT3 inhibits the growth of Phytophthora infestans and is a potentially useful biopesticide for plant diseases, including potato late blight. We sequenced the 6.2-Mbp genome of this strain and assembled it into a single scaffold with 9 contigs. KENGFT3 is related to previously sequenced strains of P. fluorescens.

Bacillus thuringiensis serovar israelensis is well known for its mosquitocidal activity and has long been used as a biopesticide. Herein, we present the genome sequence of B. thuringiensis serovar israelensis strain 4Q7, a plasmid-cured derivative with higher transformation efficiency than wild types.

background: the incidence of mosquito-borne diseases and the resistance of mosquitoes to conventional pesticides have recently caused a panic to the authorities in the endemic countries. this study was conducted to identify native larvicidal biopesticides against culex pipiens for utilization in the battle against mosquito-borne diseases. methods: larvicidal activities of new indigenous bacillu...

Abstract United Nations Organization (UNO) has an agenda for 2030 Sustainable Agriculture Development as a part of Goals (SDGs). It gives more attention to food security, regarding not only availability but also healthy and friendly environment. A large amount pesticide usage in the world increased by 36% or 4.2 million tons last two decades 2000-2019. Unfortunately, biopesticides pesticides th...

Introduction Yellow mustard (Sinapis alba L.) is a new multipurpose rotation oilseed crop for Willamette Valley agriculturalists, especially non-irrigated operations. Yellow mustard can also be used to produce condiment mustard, as a green manure crop, and as a biopesticide. Although yellow mustard seed production is relatively new to the Willamette Valley, Oregon’s north-central counties have ...
