In the agricultural sector, a revolutionary biopesticide harnesses the specificity of enzymes to target pests while safeguarding beneficial insects, boosting crop yields in an ecologically responsible manner. ...
In the realm of insect pest management, the utilization of pheromones has proven to be a game-changer. One such pheromone that has garnered significant attention in recent years is Japonilure. Japonilure has shown great promise in effectively attracting insects and aiding in agricultural pest management. In this article, we delve into the effectiveness of Japonilure in attracting insects, its ...
Through rigorous testing and advanced analytical techniques, we assess the potential risks associated with pesticide residues and provide valuable data to help our clients meet their traditional and biopesticide registration and environmental monitoring needs. Our pesticide analyses include herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, spermicides, rodenticides, and other categories, and ...
Enzymes like chitinase, protease, and lipase are used as biopesticides to control pests and diseases in crops. Applications of Agriculture Enzymes Agriculture enzymes have various applications in modern farming practices. ...
Introduction to Insecticides Insecticides are a class of chemicals mainly used to control agricultural pests and urban sanitation pests. The use of insecticides has a long history, a large amount and a variety of varieties, which have played an extremely important role in increasing agricultural production. 1. Classification of Insecticides 1.1 Source According to the source classification, ...
Spiral Plating is a two-in-one method that enables dilution and plating at the same time. This is an official method of the APHA, the AOAC, and recognized by the FDA BAM (Chapter 3), which main benefit is the incredible gain of time and reduction of Petri plates waste compared to traditional plating methods such as spread plate, pour plate and drop plate.

At Vineland Research and Innovation Centre in Ontario, Plant Pathology Research Technician Travis Cranmer is working to analyze the efficacy of biopesticides against root diseases in hydroponic tomato production. The study’s findings were released at the Canadian Greenhouse Conference in Niagara Falls in October 2016. ...
Paul Roberts, co-founder and partner of Ashdown Nursery, established nearly 30 years ago, grows approximately 160,000 strawberry plants for co-operative, Berry Gardens, in greenhouses covering 1.6 hectares. “This year, we’ve had to deal with a significant increase in the number of spidermite, thrips and whitefly,” explains Mr Roberts. “Over the years, I have used a ...
The first part of the workshop agenda included a number of short presentations from research and technology organizations to highlight general scientific developments in the major areas of 1) labour and automation; 2) crop protection products; 3) biopesticides and systems approaches; and 4) plant breeding and genomics. ...
Biopesticides deserve respect. Once derided as snake oil, today’s products have proven benefits in suppressing pest organisms. ...
Environmental presence and retention of commonly used neonicotinoid insecticides such as dinotefuran (DNT), imidacloprid (IMD), and thiamethoxam (THM) is a cause for concern and prevention due to their potential toxicity to non‐target species. In the present study the kinetics of the photodegradation of these insecticides were investigated in water and soil compartments under natural light ...
EPA’s regulatory program for registration under FIFRA of biopesticides and natural and genetically modified microbial materials is comprehensive and well defined. ...
The insecticides represented different chemical classes (organophosphates, pyrethroids, benzoylureas, insect growth regulators, biopesticides, carbamates, neonicotinoids and miscellaneous). Chronic Tier‐1 RACs derived using toxicity data for the standard species Daphnia magna, Chironomus spp. and/or Americamysis bahia, were compared with Tier‐3 RACs derived from micro‐/mesocosm ...
Thereafter, the categories within main sections of the table are further organized according to the type of application being submitted, including new active ingredients, new uses, new products, and registration amendments There are 189 categories of activities spread across the three OPP divisions: Registration Division (63 categories), Antimicrobial Division (39 categories), and ...
Mixed with a sugar solution, the synthetic PBAN is placed in a trap as food for female moths, inducing them to produce pheromones, which in turn attracts male moths into the trap. The use of a biopesticide in a trap for purposes of mitigating a pest typically requires registration under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), despite a FIFRA exemption for ...
Due to their natural origin, biopesticides are assumed to be less harmful to beneficial insects, including bees, and therefore their use has been widely encouraged for crop protection. However, there is little evidence to support this ingrained notion of the biopesticide safety to pollinators. As larval exposure is still largely unexplored in ecotoxicology and ...
(B&C®) is pleased to announce the launch of the Pesticide Law and Policy Blog to report on federal, state, and international regulatory, legal, and policy developments involving conventional pesticides, biopesticides, antimicrobials, and other pesticide products.
