Microbial biocontrol agents

This interesting webpage goes into details about several microbial control agents. These include Bacillus thuringiensis, a non-infectious Agrobacterium tumefacians as a control for crown gall disease and several fungal biocontrol agents. This site provides a broad definition of microbial biocontrol agents and gives several examples of these agents. This site focuses on the use of B. thuringiensis in agriculture and has nice graphics, some animations and links to further information. This website is put up by the professional trade organization of manufacturers of biocontrol pest management agents. It contains information pertaining to news, events and new research findings. This website is an international association dedicated to the proper use of biocontrol agents for the benefit of industry and society. This site discusses many crop diseases and how they can be controlled biologically. It contains many useful photographs to illustrate the disease-causing agents, the plants they attack, and the fungi that control the diseases. This site contains information, photographs and links relevant to biological control agents commonly used in North America. This site contains information on insect and fungal biocontrol agents approved for usage in New Zealand. This webpage details the history of EPA regulatory actions on Bt crops used in the United States. This site is dedicated to fostering integrated pest management practices that includes the use of microbial biocontrol agents. This site describes a research program focused on developing a biological control, typically via fungi, for locust infestations. This chapter from a course contains information on microbial biocontrols for insects. This site defines biopesticides as living agents, typically bacteria or fungi, or natural product chemicals that control pests. While this Wikipedia page appears similar in name to the one above, it offers a different perspective, dealing with biological pest control from an ecological standpoint.
