Looking at alternative approaches to pest control
In response to the devastating huanglongbing disease sweeping through California’s citrus orchards, researchers are testing a biological control program. They are using two wasps from Asia that are natural enemies of the Asian citrus psyllid (Diaphorina citri), an invasive species of insect that spreads the bacteria responsible for the disease. The study was supported by the University of California Riverside. […]

Natural fertilizers are better than chemical ones at preventing crop disease
A study led by researchers in Paraguay suggests that treating sesame seeds with natural biocontrol agents can significantly increase their resistance against infections caused by plant pathogens. Their findings, published in the Australian Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences, identified the non-pathogenic fungi Trichoderma and Azospirillum brasilense as potential agents to protect the seeds against infections from Macrophomina phaseolina, […]

Controlling carbonaceous rot in sesame seeds using natural alternatives
Sesame seeds that were inoculated with Trichoderma or in combination with Azospirillum brasilense are more resistant to infections caused by Macrophomina phaseolina, according to researchers from Paraguay. The study, published in the Australian Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences, carried out two experiments that investigated the effects of these biological inoculants in sesame seeds. In the first experiment, researchers used a […]

Natural pest management: Peach farmers are reducing crop loss to stink bugs by planting grains to lure them away
Scientists from Auburn University in the U.S. found a way to manage pest naturally. They discovered that planting different grain crops attract pests away from the fruit, resulting to lesser crop loss. For the study, the research team analyzed six winter host crops and six summer host crops as possible trap crops or attractant crops for […]
