The advantages and disadvantages of various positive control agents are discussed for the endpoints in developmental neurotoxicity studies.
Most importantly, perhaps, the end product can be used as a useful soil amendment: fertilizer and/or soil conditioner (Huang et al. 2006; Iqbal et al. 2010), besides other uses such as pellets for fuel (Zajonc et al. 2014), isolating various microbial control agents (Larkin and Tavantzis 2013), and potential heat recovery from the composting process (Al-Widyan et al. 2008).
Trait deterioration under laboratory conditions has been widely documented in various biological control agents including predators, parasitoids and pathogens [ 3].
With the aim of extending the use of the biofungicides, there have been many studies on the application of various combinations of control agents, and on the application integrated with chemical and physical means of protection.
Commercial M. anisopliae formulations have been developed as biological control agents for various beetles, cockroaches, weevils, termites, flies, gnats, thrips and ticks [ 10, 14].
While insecticides are often used to control this pest [ 7], biological control agents, especially various Eretmocerus (parasitoid) species, are being mass-reared and released in vegetable crops throughout the world, including the United States and Europe, to assist in the control [ 8, 9].
Several reports have previously demonstrated the successful use of biological control agents against Fusarium diseases of various crops.
Additionally, the long-term monitoring of biological control agents is most often undertaken by various institutions and agencies that become involved at the third stage of releases.
Their potential as biological control agents has been evaluated in different studies involving various plant pathogens [ 6].
Biological control agents can help.
Trichogramma are important biological control agents.
