Koppert US’ Post

“The commitment to find solutions for growers, that’s the key to success.” Paul Koppert shares how it all started in 1967. How Koppert found and commercialized the first biocontrol solution, the predatory mite Phytoseiulus persimilis, laying the foundation for the biological control methods that are crucial to today’s agricultural practices.    Dive into the full story behind Koppert's predatory mite solutions.  https://lnkd.in/e-MrW-HG #nothingbeatsoriginal #biocontrol #predatorymites

Biocontrol mechanisms of Bacillus: Improving the efficiency of green agriculture Currently, the typical and widely used biocontrol agents mainly include bacterial Bacillus spp., Pseudomonas spp., Streptomyces spp., and Burkholderia spp., and fungal Trichoderma spp. and Penicillium spp. In particular, the genus Bacillus represents a large group of rod-shaped, endospore-forming, and catalase-positive bacteria that can be isolated from a large variety of ecological niches, such as […] https://lnkd.in/eXpMKw95

Dr Brendon Neumann highlights the importance of using various biological solutions to enhance your crops' resilience against a range of stresses during the Winter season.🌿 “AgriSil K50®– Providing both direct protection through silicon based cell strengthening, as well as indirect protection through enhancing the plants' ability to produce its own anti-oxidants, AgriSil K50® is a must in any anti-stress program.” - Dr Brendon Neumann Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/dMAsijqm #biologicalsolutions #sustainableagriculture #andermattmadumbi #Andermatt #healthyfood #Healthyenvironment #agriculture #biologicals #biologicalsinagriculture #ResilientCrops #CropProtection

Paper out in final form (New Phytologist): The potential of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi to enhance metallic micronutrient uptake and mitigate food contamination in agriculture: prospects and challenges A former Humboldt fellow in our lab, Edu led this paper together with other colleagues. In this paper we ponder two roles relatively more rarely considered in AM fungi: metallic micronutrient uptake, and uptake of contaminants from soil leading to food contamination problems. The former should be strengthened, the latter avoided. How can this be done? #mycorrhiza #agriculture #environment https://lnkd.in/eYuQBE8K

🌱Peas are #plant protein powerhouses (phew, that's a lot of P's!), but quality relies on sulfur availability. Bachelet et al., with the help of #SequenceServer, explore how #pea compensates for low-sulfur environments using #sulfate transport systems. Huge congrats to the authors!
