“…78 Owing its virulence on numerous economically important dicot plants, potential for off-target movement and environmental persistence of S. minor were concerns. Pan et al 79 reported that the S. minor isolate IMI 344141 did not persist in the soil following application as a biological control agent. However, trials conducted in North Carolina (USA) demonstrated longer persistence in the fall and inconsistent efficacy.…”

Biological Control of Weeds in turfgrass: opportunities and misconceptions

Turfgrass systems may offer opportunities for overcoming some constraints on the successful implementation of weed biocontrol. Of the roughly 16.4 million ha of turfgrass in the USA, ≈60–75% are in residential lawns and 3% are golf turf. Annual expenditures for a standard herbicide treatment regimen for residential turf are estimated to be ≈US$326 ha−1, about 2–3‐fold greater than that for USA corn and soybean growers. Expenditures can be >US$3000 ha−1 for control of certain weeds such as Poa annua in high‐value areas including golf fairways or greens, but those applications are made to far smaller areas. Regulatory actions and consumer preferences are creating market opportunities for alternatives to synthetic herbicides in both commercial and consumer markets, but the size of these markets and willingness‐to‐pay are poorly documented. Turfgrass sites are intensively managed, yet despite the ability to modify site conditions through irrigation, mowing and fertility management, microbial biocontrol agents tested thus far have not provided the consistently high levels of weed control expected in the market. Recent advances in microbial bioherbicide products may offer a path to overcome many of the obstacles to success. No single herbicide will control the diversity of turfgrass weeds, nor will any single biocontrol agent or biopesticide. Successful development of weed biocontrol for turfgrass systems will require numerous, effective biocontrol agents for the many weed species found in turfgrass environments, as well as a deeper understanding of different turfgrass market segments, and weed management expectations for each segment. © 2023 The Author.

“…The number of safety research on the safety of mycoherbicides is limited to Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, S. minor, Colletotrichum coccodes, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. strigae, Phoma macrostoma and Stagonospora convolvuli [7,23,55,[155][156][157][158][159]. The experience of field observations is limited to several years.…”

Despite the urgent need for alternatives to chemicals in plant protection, biological herbicides are not widely used as biofungicides and bioinsecticides. The review is devoted to connections between fungal biology, biochemistry, their ability to survive in extreme environment and development of effective mycoherbicides. Advanced studies on the production and stabilization of mycofungicides and mycoinsecticides were analyzed too in order to obtain ideas for the improvement of efficacy and technology of mycoherbicides in the future. The analysis of research data published within last 20 years showed following trends. First, more attention is paid for production both effective and stress tolerant propagules especially based on the submerged fungal mycelium and its modifications (blastospores, chlamydospores and microsclerotia). Second, the construction of bioreactors, in particular, for solid-state fermentation is continuously being improved that allows producing highly stress tolerant fungal aerial conidia. Third, based on studies of biochemical mechanisms of viability of fungi in extreme environment, the approaches of stabilization and storage of fungal propagules were developed. However, the positive reply to the question, if biopesticides including mycoherbicides, will become a serious alternative to agrochemicals, will be possible when they demonstrate stable efficacy in the field conditions and safety for both environment and end users.

Dr. Ramalingam Radhakrishnan was born in India in 1982. He has received several research awards and fellowships during Doctor of Philosophy and made a significant contribution to the application of magnetic field on improvement of crop plants. His research was honored by the Chinese Academy of Science by giving financial support to present his findings in an international conference held in China. Professionally, he was employed as a post-doctoral researcher, research professor and assistant professor in different South Korean universities and research institutes. His major research finding is the utilization of microbes or elicitors to improve crop plant growth under environmental stress conditions and biological weed control. He has published several research and review papers as the main author in reputed journals, books and conferences.
