Ebook "Nematode-trapping gungi (Fungal diversity research series, Volume 23)" provide up-to-date information on nematophagous fungi, particularly those of the Orbiliaceae in Ascomycota, whose asexual states produce nematode-trapping devices. The authors consider fungal-nematode interactions, fossil fungi, the biodiversity, ecology and geographical distribution of nematode-trapping fungi, and their potential use in biocontrol of nematodes, all in detail.

Ebook "Trophic and guild interactions in biological control" origins from a symposium we organized in May 2005 at a joint meeting of the Biocontrol Network of Canada and the International Organization for Biological Control in Magog, Québec, Canada. During this symposium, we discussed concepts of direct and indirect interactions among natural enemies of herbivores in natural and agricultural ecosystems — a field of growing interest in ecology and biological control.

Ebook "Bacteriophage applications - Historical perspective and future potential" explores key applications of phage biotechnology and reviews recent advances in phage display technologies. The applications covered were selected on the basis of their significance and representativeness in the field. The small size and enormous diversity of bacteriophages make them ideal candidates for numerous applications across many industries.

Episparis tortuosalis Moore, 1867 is a serious pest of the Chukrasia tabularis A. Juss which is widely planted in plantations in Vietnam. A biocontrol option to manage this pest is a priority for the forest sector. The objective of this study was to evaluate whether there are potential biocontrol candidates within the E. tortuosalis population.

Biocontrol of stem end disease agent, Alternaria alternata YZU, on pitaya is more interested in altering the application of chemical pesticides. This study was conducted to characterize antagonistic phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) from rhizosphere soil for their biocontrol activities against A. alternata YZU under laboratory and greenhouse conditions.

Chitinolytic bacteria and their chitinases have attracted great attention due to potential applications in various fields, including medicine, food processing, agriculture. To develop a novel type of biocontrol agents alternative chemical agents for phytopathogenic controlling, we focus on bacteria possessed high chitinase activity. In this study, a chitinase gene (chiB) from Bacillus velezensis RB.IBE29 was identified, cloned, and analyzed.

The rose sawfly, Arge rosae L. (Hymenoptera: Argidae), is one of the most destructive pests of roses grown both indoors and outdoors in Antalya province (south-western part of Turkey). Especially in greenhouse rose cultivation, growers depend heavily on synthetic pesticides to control this pest along with other arthropod pests in their crops. The aim of this study was to evaluate biocontrol potential of some indigenous soil-borne entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) against the pest. In pathogenicity assays, a total of 17 EPF isolates, belonging to three species [Beauveria bassiana (Bals.) Vuill.

Their management relies primarily on agrochemicals with short persistence; widespread use of these chemicals causes environmental and human health problems. The challenge of sustainable viticulture is to provide ecologically sound alternatives. In this regard, the application of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) and natural products derived from their symbionts can be an alternative. EPNs are well-known biocontrol agents for soil-dwelling insects.

Wireworms are polyphagous soil-dwelling pests that are hard to control. Attract-and-kill strategies, combining attractive semiochemicals with biocontrol agents, have great promise to control insect pests. We hypothesized that the combination of plant semiochemicals and entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) in an attract-and-kill system could greatly enhance the nematodes’ efficiency against wireworms. We evaluated the potential of alginate beads loaded with plant extracts and EPNs to control Agriotes obscurus.
