PLANT PATHOGENS AS BIOCONTROL AGENTS INNATn7EHAWAIIANECOSY~S
Several examples, some spectacular, are available of successful applications of weed biocontrol approaches with plant pathogenic agents in agricultural and rangeland situations. The overall percentage rate of success of all such programs attempted cannot yet be documented, however. Both the "mycoherbicide" method, in which large quantities of inoculum are directly applied to target plants, and ...
متن کاملCombinations 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 ...
متن کاملComments on the use of biocontrol agents against plant- parasitic nematodes
Plant-parasitic nematodes (PPN) undoubtedly represent a serious threat to the world economy. Growing dissatisfaction with chemical nematicides due to environmental issues obstructing the use of traditional chemicals has created re-directions in the type and choice of applicable nematicides. The role of different beneficial microorganisms ranks high as environmentally friendly biological alterna...
متن کاملAscogregarine parasites as possible biocontrol agents of mosquitoes.
The seemingly ubiquitous presence of gregarine parasites in numerous mosquito taxa (Table 1; Chen 1999) suggests that consideration of these parasites as biological control agents may be a worthwhile endeavor. However, because most studies prior to 1985 did not demonstrate significant fitness (e.g., mortality, adult size) differences between infected and non-infected mosquitoes, Beier and Craig...
متن کاملAnolis lizards as biocontrol agents in mainland and island agroecosystems
Our knowledge of ecological interactions that bolster ecosystem function and productivity has broad applications to the management of agricultural systems. Studies suggest that the presence of generalist predators in agricultural landscapes leads to a decrease in the abundance of herbivorous pests, but our understanding of how these interactions vary across taxa and along gradients of managemen...
