Opportunities for the Control of Brassicaceous Weeds of Cropping Systems Using Mycoherbicides

摘要: Mycoherbicides offer another option in controlling weeds, especially light of increasing problems with herbicide resistance. Wild radish is a weed cropping systems for which pathogens found Australia include suite species differing host range that could be developed into mycoherbicides useful against from the Brassicaceae. Potentially fungal are Alternaria alternata, A. brassicae, brassicicola, japonica, Fusarium oxysporum, and Hyaloperonospora parasitica. Mycoherbicide candidates considered terms their specificity, virulence, epidemiological properties, industrial scale inoculum production, suitability liquid or solid formulation. Another critical issue how to avoid nontarget damage crops Brassicaceae such as canola. parasitica has potentially most specific pathovars control wild radish, but not well suited mycoherbicide production. Whereas japonica less than H. parasitica, it probably development mycoherbicide. This review identifies opportunities overcome some limitations associated delivering reliable bioherbicide technology through improved identification Brassicaceae, better understanding epidemiology, possible modifications improve potential.
