How entomopathogenic endophytic fungi modulate plant-insect interactions
(2017-06-07)Tomato plants host multiple microbes able to colonize plant tissues endophytically without causing symptoms of infections. Whether these microorganisms living inside the plants co-exist completely undetected by the plant ... -
Exploitation of synergistic effects between semiochemicals and Metarhizium brunneum against soil pests
(2016-08-23)Root-feeding insects, such as the larvae of the western corn rootworm (WCR), Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) and wireworms Agriotes spp. Eschscholtz (Coleoptera: Elateridae), the larvae ... -
Exploring the interactions of bacterial secondary symbionts (BSS) in wheat aphids, Sitobion avenae F. with parasitoids
(2015-11-20)Bacterial secondary symbionts (BSS) are renowned for their capacity to protect their hosts against natural enemies. Sitobion avenae (F.) is recently reported for Hamiltonella defensa and Regiella insecticola infections. ... -
Colonization pattern of crop plants by endophytic fungi
(2015-06-16)Endophytes are fungi or bacteria occurring inside plant tissues without causing any apparent symptoms in the host plants. Fungal endophytes are quite common in nature; some of them are able to work as bio-control agents ... -
Effect of climate change on population dynamics and damage potential of insect pests on oilseed rape
(2015-05-21)Biotic stress such as pests can cause high yield losses in agricultural crop systems. It has been estimated that global warming will increase these rates. Thus, the impact of global warming on the distribution and abundance ... -
New Strategies for the Detection of <i>Fusarium</i> Infection and Mycotoxin Contamination of Cereals and Maize
(2013-08-13)Fusarium diseases occur worldwide in important agricultural crops and lead to the reduction of yield, seed quality and contamination of food commodities with toxic secondary metabolites, so called mycotoxins. The ... -
Development of an „Attract & Kill“ strategy for the control of western corn rootworm larvae
(2013-07-31)The western corn rootworm (WCR - Diabrotica virgifera virgifera Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) is an important maize pest worldwide and the most damaging part of the beetle’s life cycle is the below ground feeding of the larvae ... -
Lethal and sublethal effects of insecticides on mortality, migration and host searching behaviour of tersilochine parasitoids on winter oilseed rape
(2011-06-30)Oilseed rape crops are attacked by various economically important insect pests that require frequent treatments of broad spectrum insecticides. The extensive usage of insecticides might ... -
Developing and testing plant health management options against the maize cob borer Mussidia nigrivenella Ragonot (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) in West Africa
(2010-02-12)The present research project aimed at developing and testing different IPM components focusing on i) habitat management particularly maize-legume intercropping and trap crops, ii) botanical formulations with special ... -
Molecular characterisation of Sitobion avenae F. clones and their interaction with different host plants
(2009-02-10)The English grain aphid, Sitobion avenae (F.), is an important pest in agricultural ecosystems, especially in temperate climates on the northern and southern hemisphere. We studied the ...
