Rearing under simulated fluctuant winter greenhouse temperatures improved the population parameters of cold-adapted Harmonia axyridis (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) and its predation ability to Aphis gossypii (Hemiptera: Aphididae)
A cold-adapted strain of Harmonia axyridis was previously cultured under constant 15 °C for biological control of aphids in winter greenhouses and found had poor adaptation to fluctuating greenhouse temperatures. In this study, we transferred part eggs from the cold-adapted strain to a simulated…

Melatonin increases the competitive ability of Debaryomyces hansenii in wounded kiwifruit and enhances postharvest decay biocontrol
The ability of a biocontrol agent to survive on or in a host and compete against pathogenic fungi is an important attribute, especially when used on fruit. Enhancing the oxidative stress tolerance of some yeast antagonists increases their fitness in the microenvironment of fruit wounds and improves…

Physicochemical, in vitro, and in vivo compatibilities of fungicides and mycoinsecticides used in maize crops
Given the operational advantages and temporal coincidence of diseases and pests, tank mixtures of fungicides with mycoinsecticides are commonly verified in cornfields practices in Brazil. Thus, we examined the compatibility of Beauveria bassiana isolates IBCB66 and Simbi BB15 and Cordyceps javanica…

Developing native biocontrol agents: Life histories of predatory mirids Dicyphus famelicus and Dicyphus discrepans on common North American greenhouse plants
Greenhouse crop production is an important and growing component of Canada’s horticultural sector, ensuring year-round food availability. Arthropod pest management in these protected environments is a continuous challenge. While biological control is often employed as a first response, new agents…

Suppression of pine pitch canker disease and promotion of seedling growth in Japanese red pine using a newly isolated strain of Bacillus subtilis
Fusarium circinatum, the causal agent of pine pitch canker, can cause large-scale tree mortality in pine forests. Asymptomatic seedlings infected with F. circinatum can spread the disease at planting sites, highlighting the need for nursery-level control and using vigorous seedlings. Accordingly…

Sustainable control of Phytophthora capsici in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) using garden waste compost tea enriched with Streptomyces AC-3
The search for sustainable alternatives to chemical pesticides remains a key priority in crop protection. This study evaluates the suppressive potential of a compost tea (CT) derived from pruning and garden residues, together with a native Streptomyces isolate (AC-3) with strong in vitro antagonism…

Molecular and diagnostic advances for basal stem rot management in oil palm
Basal stem rot (BSR), caused by Ganoderma boninense, is the most destructive disease affecting oil palm (Elaeis guineensis), leading to yield losses of up to 70% in severely affected plantations. This review synthesizes recent advances in understanding the physiological and molecular mechanisms…

Effects of Pseudomonas frederiksbergensis FC-17 on potato bacterial wilt and rhizosphere microbial community
Pseudomonas frederiksbergensis FC-17 shows prominent biological control for potato wilt disease caused by Ralstonia solanacearum. It remains unknown whether the biocontrol strain can effectively colonize rhizosphere soil and how it affects the bacterial community. Therefore, we used qPCR to track…

Geographic origin of a factitious host shapes parasitoid performance in Trichogramma chilonis–Antheraea pernyi systems
Geographical variation can profoundly influence host-parasitoid compatibility and mass-rearing performance in biological control programs. We assessed how the geographical origin of the Chinese oak silkworm (Antheraea pernyi) affects the reproductive performance of the egg parasitoid Trichogramma…

Biocontrol potential of entomopathogenic nematodes and entomopathogenic fungi against the soil-dwelling stages of spotted-wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) (Diptera: Drosophilidae)
Spotted-wing drosophila (SWD), Drosophila suzukii, is an invasive pest of small fruits such as blueberries and raspberries, causing substantial yield losses. This study evaluated the biocontrol potential of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) and entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) against the last instar…
