Biocontrol of three fusarial diseases.
(2004)Over the past one hundred years, research has repeatedly demonstrated that phylogenetically diverse microorganisms can act as natural antagonists of various plant pathogens. Interest in biological control research continues ... -
Biological control and plant growth promotion by selected trichoderma and Bacillus species.
(2005)Various Trichoderma and Bacillus spp. have been documented as being antagonistic to a wide range of soilborne plant pathogens, as well as being plant growth stimulants. Successes in biological control and plant growth ... -
Biological control of Phytophthora root rot of citrus seedlings and cuttings.
(2005)With an increasing realization that many agrochemicals are hazardous to animals and humans, came the desire to replace these chemical agents with biological approaches that are more friendly to the environment and human ... -
Biological control of the common house fly (Musa domestica L.) using Bacillus thuringiensis (Ishiwata) berliner var. Israelensis and Beauveria bassiana (Bals.) vullemin in caged poultry facilities.
(2008)The entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana and the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis (Bti) have been widely studied for their role in biocontrol against many arthropods and extensively exploited for ... -
In vitro and in vivo screening of Bacillus spp. for biological control of Rhizoctonia solani.
(2003)The increasing concerns about chemical pesticides that are environmentally hazardous and the continuous development of resistance by palhogens to chemical pesticides have led to this study. Many studies have shown that ... -
Isolation of entomopathogenic gram positive spore forming bacteria effective against coleoptera.
(2009)Fourteen spore-forming bacterial strains were isolated and screened for entomopathogenic activity. Five displayed toxicity towards the common mealworm, Tenebrio molitor L., (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae). The majority of the ... -
Studies on the biocontrol of seedling diseases caused by Rhizoctonia solani and Pythium sp. on sorghum and tef.
(2003)Rhizoctonia solani and Pythium spp. are aggressive soil-borne fungal pathogens responsible for seed rot and seedling damping-off of many crops. With increased environmental and public concern over the use of ... -
Utilization of Bacillus spp. as plant probiotics.
(2000)Numerous microorganisms produce beneficial effects on plant developmentwhen applied to crop seeds or incorporated into soil. Research efforts worldwide over the past two decades have renewed commercial interest in plant ...
