Biological control of soil-dwelling insect pests in cocoa agroforests using CO₂-emitting capsules co-formulated with entomopathogenic fungi
(North-West University (South Africa), 2020)Termites have recently gained importance as major pests in cocoa agroforests (AF) because of a loss in overall biodiversity at the transition from shaded agroforestry system to intensively managed unshaded monocultures ... -
Comparison of wheat growth-response to endophytic Beauveria bassiana (hypocreales: Cordycipitaceae) derived from an insect versus plant host
(Southern Cross Publishing, 2019)Beauveria bassiana (Hypocreales) is a cosmopolitan entomopathogen, infecting >700 insect species. Although traditionally associated with insects, endophytic colonisation of plants is also known. Endophytism may protect ... -
Endophytic establishment of Beauveria bassiana in wheat (Triticum aestivum) and its impact on Diuraphis noxia
(North-West University (South Africa). Potchefstroom Campus, 2019)The entomopathogenic fungus (EPF) Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo-Crivelli) Vuillemin (Hypocreales: Cordycipitaceae) is globally known to infect a wide range of insect hosts, including aphids. The current study investigated ... -
Morphological and molecular characterization of Vicia faba and Phaseolus vulgaris seed-born fungal endophytes
(Academic Journals, 2017)Background: Fungal endophytes are heterotrophic microorganisms that occur inside plant tissues, with some showing adverse effects against insects, nematodes and plant pathogens. Initiatives are underway at the International ... -
