“…Eight ILs, namely, N-butyl-methylpyrrolidinium bromide (1), N-butyl-3-methyl-pyridinium bromide (2), N-butylpyridinium chloride (3), N-butyl-pyridinium bromide (4), N-butyl-4-methylpyridinium bromide (5), N-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (6), N-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (7), and N-butyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluorosulfonate (8), were purchased from Shanghai Chenjie Chemical Co. Ltd. without further purification (purity > 99%). Difenoconazole was purchased from Shanghai Qinlong Chemical Co. Ltd. (purity > 97%), and 10% difenoconazole wettable powder (WP) was purchased from Swiss Syngenta Crop Science Co., Ltd.…”

Among eight ionic liquids (ILs) examined, 1-n-butyl-4-methyl-pyridinium bromide (BMPyBr, 5) was used in this study as an appropriate alternative to benzene homologs and derivatives to be used in 10 wt% water-insoluble difenoconazole emulsifiable concentrate (EC). Moreover, 10 wt% difenoconazole EC with BMPyBr (5) exhibited the same efficacy as 10 wt% difenoconazole wettable powder (WP) against powdery mildew on cucumbers under field conditions. The results revealed that difenoconazole EC with BMPyBr (5) had excellent stability at 268 K and 327 K after 14 days through high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Therefore, ILs can be considered as promising environment-friendly adjuvants for pesticides that are commercially processed as EC formulation.

“…Also, the use of synthetic chemicals has been restricted due to the occurrence of pathogen resistance and the prolonged contaminations in the environments (Diehl and Fehrmann 1999). Therefore, several trials have applied the bioformulations for solving these problems and resulted in effective protections in many crop plants (Elad et al 1996). In addition, the microorganism-based bioformulation, either in the form of individual application or part of the integrated pest management (IPM), may represent an alternative strategy for crop protection because of their safety to humans and non-target organisms (Gašić and Tanović 2013).…”

Background: Bioformulations are the preparations that contain beneficial microorganisms as active ingredients and they may represent a novel alternative to be used in crop protection because of their safety to humans and nontarget organisms. Xenorhabdus sp. is an entomopathogenic bacterium that symbiotically associates with nematodes of the family Steinernematidae and has potential to be used in bioformulations due to its pesticide activities. The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy of bioformulations containing Xenorhabdus stockiae PB09 for controlling mushroom mites. Results:The results showed that different Xenorhabdus bioformulations, including wettable powder (WP), liquid cell pellet (LC), and liquid supernatant (LS) were shown to cause very high miticidal activities at 90.25, 86.50, and 92.78 %, respectively. When X. stockiae PB09 bioformulations were stored at room temperature (28 ± 2 °C) and 4 °C for up to 60 days, their viable cells and efficacy were found to decrease. However, storing at 4 °C could relatively maintain both viable cells and efficacy of the bioformulations, especially after 45 days of storage, whereby all the formulations that were kept at 4 °C had 5-10 % and 2-15 times higher miticidal activities and viable cells than that kept at room temperature, respectively. Storing at 4 °C was more appropriate than room temperature for maintaining both viable cells and miticidal activities of all X. stockiae PB09 bioformulations. Conclusions:In conclusion, this study showed that WP and LC formulations were found to be effective and have potentials to be further developed as commercial products for controlling mushroom mites.

“…In addition, in the last few years, it has caused a serious rotting problem in cuttings associated with high relative humidity and temperature which are conditions required in this plant production system. Numerous research studies in Canada, the United States, Israel, and Brazil have shown the potential and effectiveness of microorganisms to control B. cinerea, mainly Clonostachys and Trichoderma strains, both in greenhouse and field tests, and obtaining better results in some cases than for recommended fungicides (Sutton and Peng, 1993;Zhang et al, 1994;Elad et al, 1996;Sutton et al, 1997;Sanfuentes and Ferreira, 1997;Wilson, 1997;Yu and Sutton, 1997;Gerlagh et al, 2001;Nobre et al, 2005;Elmer and Reglinski, 2006;Cota et al, 2008).…”

Botrytis cinerea Pers. ex Fr. causes the disease known as gray mold in more than 200 hosts. It is one of the most important pathogens in Chilean forest nurseries and Eucalyptus globulus Labill. is one of the most susceptible species, especially in vegetative reproduction systems. Clonostachys and Trichoderma strains were selected as potential biocontrol agents of gray mold in previous research by the authors. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of antagonistic fungi to control B. cinerea in E. globulus mini-cuttings. Five fungi strains were tested and applied weekly, two Clonostachys and three Trichoderma (5 x 10 6 conidia mL -1 ). In addition, comparison treatments were also used: absolute control (water) and fungicide application. The experiment was carried out under operational conditions to produce E. globulus mini-cuttings. The Clonostachys UDC-A10 and UDC-A11 strains reduce mini-cutting mortality caused by B. cinerea in 54 and 71%, respectively, and with effects similar to those achieved by fungicides. Clonostachys UDC-A11 reduces the disease progression rate with the same statistical results as fungicides. A negative effect of applying fungicides on rooting of the surviving mini-cuttings was also confirmed. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of Clonostachys as a control agent against gray mold disease in E. globulus mini-cuttings.
