Floral resource subsidies for the enhancement of the biological control of aphids in oilseed rape crops
(Lincoln University, 2015)
Food production is achieved by the interaction of man-made infrastructures with natural ecosystems, the latter providing soil, light, and regulating services, including biological control. However, such natural capital has ...
Managing weta damage to vines through an understanding of their food, habitat preferences, and the policy environment
(Lincoln University, 2015)
Insects cause major crop losses in New Zealand horticulture production, through either direct plant damage or by vectoring disease Pugh (2013). As a result, they are one of the greatest risks to NZ producing high quality ...
Draft genome sequences of three Pectobacterium strains causing blackleg of potato: P. carotovorum subsp. brasiliensis ICMP 19477, P. atrosepticum ICMP 1526, and P. carotovorum subsp. carotovorum UGC32
(American Society for Microbiology, 2015-08-06)
Blackleg is a disease caused by several species of Pectobacterium that results in losses to potato crops worldwide. Here, we report the draft genomes of three taxonomically and geographically distinct blackleg-causing ...
Trichoderma species for biocontrol of soil-borne plant pathogens of pasture species
(Taylor & Francis, 2015)
Soil-borne plant pathogens such as Rhizoctonia solani (Kuhn), Pythium ultimum (Trow) and Sclerotinia trifoliorum (Eriks) can reduce grass and forage legume establishment. The potential for biocontrol of these pathogens by ...
