Investigations on the efficacy of encapsulation of the endoparasitic fungus Hirsutella rhossiliensis for control of plant-parasitic nematodes

Angebote / Angebote:

The endoparasitic fungus >Hirsutella rhossiliensis< infests a multitude of plant-parasitic nematodes and is found in agricultural soils worldwide. However, commercial exploitation of >H. rhossiliensis< as a biocontrol agent and as a component for nematode management requires proper formulation. Until now, a suitable method for controlled release of this fungus has not been found. This book reveals the efficacy of different materials based on polymers of renewable resources for encapsulation of >H. rhossiliensis< as well as the efficacy of alternative liquid and solid formulations applied against the sugar beet cyst nematode >Heterodera schachtii< and the root-knot nematode >Meloidogyne incognita<. The host suitability of >H. rhossiliensis< towards plant-parasitic nematodes as well as non-target, entomopathogenic nematodes is presented. Furthermore, the compatibility of >H. rhossiliensis< towards various pesticides is demonstrated.
