results significant differences were observed in the results of co-culture of nematodes larva and fungi after seven days. the most effective fungi against the nematodes larvae were cladosporium sp., trichoderma sp., fusarium equisetti, after seven days of incubation. materials and methods sheep feces were employed to provide the required third stage larvae source for the experiments. the nemato...

Bacillus velezensis L-1 is an effective biocontrol agent against pear diseases. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of B. velezensis L-1 in which clusters related to the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites were predicted. This genome provides insights into the possible biocontrol mechanisms and furthers application of this specific bacterium.

Chryseobacterium sp. strain GSE06 is a biocontrol endophytic bacterium against the destructive soilborne oomycete Phytophthora capsici, which causes Phytophthora blight of pepper. Here, we present its draft genome sequence, which contains genes related to biocontrol traits, such as colonization, antimicrobial activity, plant growth promotion, and abiotic or biotic stress adaptation.

Strain KJ1R5 of the rhizobacterium ITALIC! Chryseobacterium kwangjuenseis an effective biocontrol agent against Phytophthora blight of pepper caused by a destructive soilborne oomycete, ITALIC! Phytophthora capsici Here, we present the draft genome sequence of strain KJ1R5, which contains genes related to biocontrol, plant growth promotion, and environmental stress adaptation.

Plant derived volatiles are cues used widely that guide the behavior of plant associated insects, influencing both ability insects to locate host plants, as well tritrophic interactions with predators or parasitoids. Therefore, an understanding how impact a specific ecological system may aid development plants less attractive pests more amenable biocontrol. Because each plant-insect interaction...

Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) can be highly effective biocontrol agents, but their efficacy can be reduced due to exposure to environmental stress such as from ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Our objectives were to 1) compare UV tolerance among a broad array of EPN species, and 2) investigate the relationship between reduced nematode viability (after exposure to UV) and virulence. Nematodes exp...

Organic agriculture as well as good agricultural practices (GAPs) intrigues the concern of both consumers and producers of agricultural commodities. Bio-preparates of various rhizospheric microorganisms (RMOs) are potential sources of biological inputs supporting plant nutrition and health. The response of open-field potatoes to the application of RMO bio-preparates, the biofertilizer "Bioferti...

Sustainability of modern food production requires the ability to confidently monitor, identify and distinguish a wide variety of insect and plant species. Virtually all industries are susceptible to direct damage from insect pests and weeds, and also from associated diseases transmitted by them. Additionally, in order to limit reliance on pesticide usage, the importation and use of biocontrol a...
