“…Pesticides are substances used for eliminating or deterring pests that can cause harm to humans, animals, or the environment ( Boudh and Singh, 2019 , Butu et al, 2020 , Warra and Prasad, 2020 ). Pesticides used on a large scale on crops and forests may contribute to toxic compounds being found in the environment.…”

“…Interest in incorporating biopesticides into organic disease management programs has increased due, in part, to the products' biodegradability, low residual presence in the environment, low resistance risks, ability to specifically target pests and pathogens, little to no off-target effects and durability of disease management programs while protecting yield (Seiber et al ., 2014; Tripathi et al ., 2009; Damalas and Koutroubas, 2018; Marrone, 2019; Kalpana and Anil, 2021). Furthermore, biopesticides can be used to reduce synthetic pesticide use and act as a pest resistance management strategy (Butu et al ., 2020; Essiedu et al ., 2020). We found that most organic growers responding to the survey (five out of six) have used non-copper biopesticides compared to copper products (Table 4).…”

Late blight, caused by the oomycete Phytophthora infestans, poses a significant challenge to organic tomato and potato production systems across the globe. To enhance education and outreach programming pertaining to tomato organic late blight management in Wisconsin, we sought to identify grower strategies and needs through an online survey conducted during spring 2018. Our findings demonstrated that organic growers emphasized crop diversity, crop rotation and soil health in their late blight management decisions. Grower concerns about biopesticides were identified and suggest that the use of input-based products within integrated management programs could be enhanced by further research on effectiveness and modes of actions. Additionally, stronger emphasis on oomycete pathogen biology and the significance of late blight as a community disease were identified as important areas of emphasis in the development of organic disease management education programming and resources that promote more effective cultural and chemical disease management strategies that adhere to the regulation and principles underlying the USDA National Organic Program. The integration of a live polling questionnaire conducted in winter 2019 allowed us to corroborate findings from the online survey and underscored the importance of two-way learning to enhance outreach efforts between Extension and organic growers in Wisconsin and the surrounding upper Midwestern states.

“…Given the increase in resistance to pesticides, at the larval level (44) or in the adult stage (45), of the different disease vector species, several formulations of biopesticides have been developed in recent years (46). The type of formulations and support in these biopesticides is of utmost…”

The bacterial genus and species of Bacillus thuringiensis var israelensis (Bti), is entomotoxic, used in the biological control of mosquito vectors of human diseases, such as malaria and dengue. Following the studies carried out in Mexico and Guatemala with ovillantas, in which the presence of larvae of both species of Anopheles albimanus W and Aedes aegypti L were observed, and with the intention of continuing to develop an ecologically friendly mosquito control, Bti was added to the ovillantas, to improve and already efficient method on the elimination of both types of mosquitoes. The objectives of this work were: to analyze the effectiveness of two commercial formulations of Bti, serovar H-14 (Bactimos) wettable powder, 3,500 ITU, from Biochem prods., and Vectobac, 2,000 ITU wettable powder, (Abbot Lab.) on second and third instars larvae of A. albimanus and Ae. aegypti (Diptera Culicidae). The two formulations were effective against A. albimanus W(higher concentrations), while Ae. aegypti L was very susceptible to Bti, therefore it is proposed for the best control of these genus and vector species of malaria and dengue at adequate concentrations.
