Mechanism Analysis of Biological Control for Plant Nematodes

Plant nematodes represent a major threat to the agricultural production of different crops worldwide. Due to the high toxicity of chemical nematicides, it is necessary to develop new control strategies against nematodes. Strategies associated with biocontrol are proposed as a much safer alternative and highly practicable for plant-parasitic nematode management. The term biological control (or biocontrol) applies to the use of living organisms to suppress the population density or impact on a specific pest organism, making it less abundant or less damaging than it would otherwise be.

Lifeasible is a leading provider of comprehensive, high-quality services for the biological control of plant nematodes. We hope to partner with you to explore new frontiers in plant science and accelerate your discovery.

Analysis of Fungi Control for Plant Nematodes

• The nematophagous fungi have a peculiar in-built feature to antagonize against plant nematodes. The mode of infection is similar to that is nematode's cuticle penetration, decomposition, absorption of organic soil matter, invasion, and digestion. Egg walls and cuticles of nematodes play a significant role in fungal infestation.
• Nematophagous fungi were classified on the basis of the mode of their inhibitory action against plant-parasitic nematodes. Lifeasible provides analysis services for fungi control of plant nematodes, including predatory fungi, parasitic fungi, and toxin-producing fungi.

Analysis of Bacteria Control for Plant Nematodes

• Bacteria are microscopic, single-celled organisms that grow in various environments, ranging from spheres to rods and spirals, and inhabit soil, water, acidic hot springs, and radioactive waste.
• Several commercial products have been made by bacteria to control the plant nematodes; however, represent an important group of biological agents. Among the bacteria, Bacillus covers the largest group to control the plant nematode.
• We provide analysis of bacterial control for plant nematodes, including parasitic bacteria, opportunistic parasitic bacterial, and plant endophytic bacteria.

Analysis of Actinomyces Control for Plant Nematodes

Streptomyces is an important class of microbial resources for controlling plant pathogenic nematodes, which act mainly in an antagonistic or virulent manner against nematodes. Many fermentations of actinomycetes have been found to have nematocidal activity. We also provide analysis services for actinomyces control of plant nematodes.

Analysis of Secondary Metabolites Control for Plant Nematodes

• Naturally occurring phytochemicals antagonistic toward plant-parasitic and other nematodes. However, the agricultural utilization of phytochemicals, although currently uneconomic in many situations, offers tremendous potential.
• We also provide analysis services for secondary metabolites control of plant nematodes, including polyimide, isothiocyanate, thioglucoside, alkaloids, phenolic resins, fatty acids and their derivatives, terpenoids, and several other classes.

Analysis of Integrated Control for Plant Nematodes

• Fungal and bacterial nematicides rank high among other biocontrol agents. To maximize their benefits, such bio-nematicides can be included in integrated nematode management programs, and ways that make them complementary or superior to chemical nematode management methods were highlighted.
• We provide analysis services for integrated control of plant nematodes, mainly including compounding biological strategies from plants, microorganisms, and chemical agents.
