摘要:
Disclosed and claimed are novel Bacillus thuringiensis isolates, pesticidal toxins, and genes. The subject invention also provides novel methods of controlling diamond back moths.
摘要:
The subject invention concerns the discovery of Bacillus thuringiensis isolates with advantageous activity against weevils. In preferred embodiments of the invention, B.t. isolates, or toxins therefrom, are used to control alfalfa weevils, boll weevils, and/or rice water weevils. The toxins can be administered to the pests through a variety of methods including the transformation of bacteria or plants to produce the weevil-active toxins.
摘要:
Noven B.t. genes encoding toxins active against nematode pests have been cloned. The DNA encoding the B.t. toxin can be used to transform various hosts to express the B.t. toxin.
摘要:
Fatty acid herbicides are applied in an oil based formulation without dilution in water. The application volume rate is low, ie., 25 gallons/acre or less, which saves time, energy and other resources. Less fatty acid herbicide is also employed for equivalent control using high volume water based formulations.
摘要:
Methods and compositions for the control of pests of the family Calliphoridae are described. Specifically, Bacillus thuringiensis (B.t.) isolates having anti-calliphorid activity are disclosed. Also described are recombinant hosts which express B.t. genes coding for pesticidal toxins. The B.t. isolates and recombinant proteins are shown to be useful in a method for controlling calliphorids including screw-worms and the sheep blowfly.
摘要:
Described and claimed are methods and compositions for the control of unwanted vegetation. According to the subject invention, a fatty acid or mixture of fatty acids can be combined with one or more chemical herbicides to achieve synergistic control of a broad range of plants.
摘要:
Novel B.t. genes encoding toxins active against nematode pests have been cloned. The DNA encoding the B.t. toxin can be used to transform various hosts to express the B.t. toxin.
摘要:
Certain isolates of Bacillus thuringiensis (B.t.) have been found to have activity against scarab pests. These isolates are designated B.t. PS86B1, B.t. PS43F and B.t. PS50C. These isolates, or transformed hosts containing the gene expressing a scarab-active toxin obtained from the isolates, can be used to control scarab-active pests, e.g., masked chafer, Cyclocephala sp., June beetle, Cotinis sp., northern masked chafer, Cyclocephala borealis, Japanese beetle, Popillia japonica, and Pasadena masked chafer, Cyclocephala pasadenae, in various environments.
摘要:
The subject invention concerns the use of fatty acids in combination with maleic hydrazide to achieve excellent control of tobacco suckers on topped plants. The control of suckers is achieved at low rates of maleic hydrazide, thereby reducing maleic hydrazide residues on harvested tobacco.
