TL;DR
Brevicoryne-Kill represents the first field evaluation of a formulated microbial control agent against B. brassicae and highlights the strong potential of Bt-5 as a bioinsecticide candidate for further development.
ABSTRACT Entomopathogenic fungi of the genus Beauveria are key biological control agents in agroecosystems; however, their abundance and virulence may vary according to agricultural management practices. This study evaluated the abundance, molecular identity, and virulence potential of Beauveria isolates recovered from...
Entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) are promising biological control agents for the integrated pest management of Scaphoideus titanus Ball, the principal vector of Flavescence dorée phytoplasma in European vineyards. This study assessed the diversity, abundance, pathogenicity, and endophytic colonization ability of native EPF...
The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) is an important pest of corn. It was first reported to have spread into Thailand in late 2018, with significant outbreaks in the provinces of Mae Hong Son, Tak, Kanchanaburi, and Nakhon Sawan. The fall armyworm starts damaging corn from 7 days after planting until t...
Leucinodes orbonalis (Guenee) is a notorious pest of brinjal crop inflicting severe economic losses due to its cryptic feeding behavior and resistance development against chemical insecticides. The current study evaluated the individual efficacy of Beauveria bassiana Balsamo (Vuillemin) and Metarhizium anisopliae (Mets...
Novel Pseudomonas and Pantoea strains are identified that effectively reduce survival and population development of Pemphigus bursarius on witloof chicory plants, highlighting their potential as a sustainable biocontrol strategy against root aphids.
The black vine weevil, Otiorhynchus sulcatus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), is a significant pest causing damage to horticultural crops. Restrictions on the use of synthetic chemical insecticides, due to factors such as resistance and harm to humans and the environment, are increasing the need for sustainable alternative...
