inundative

Similarly, the boundary between inundative and augmentative approaches is not clearly defined.

Inundative biocontrol agents have not yet reached the farm gate, but they have good potential.

Beauveria bassiana and M. flavoviride are being developed for inundative control.

"Because typically this inundative strategy isn't good enough in commercial agriculture, and I'm sure the narcos have been planning ahead.

With inundative release, predators are collected, mass-reared and periodically released in large numbers into the pest area.

Inundative releases: Repeated high rate releases during periods of pressure for quick knock down. e.g.

The two approaches, classical and inundative, which can be used to exploit fungi for weed biocontrol, are described and discussed.

The effectiveness of inundative releases of Trichogramma minutum Ril.

Lady beetles, lacewings, or parasitoids such as those from the genus Trichogramma are frequently released in large numbers (inundative release).

Inundative biological control involves the repeated and controlled application of large numbers of a biological agent to immediately reduce a pest population.

Inundative releases are mass introductions of predators or parasites aimed at eliminating the pests immediately, during the first generation of the control agent.

Measurement and selection of parasitoid quality for mass-reared Trichogramma minutum Riley used in inundative release.

Interactions between large scale inundative releases of Trichogramma minutum and naturally occurring spruce budworm parasitoids.

Augmentation, inoculative release and inundative release are different methods of biological control that affect the target pest in different ways.

Once an inundative biocontrol agent is identified, its propagules (eg. spores, mycelium) can be produced in large quantities through fermentation techniques.

Inundative biological control is generally not selfsustaining, as is classical biological control, and thus is conducive to commercialization.

Relatively few natural enemies may be released at a critical time of the season (inoculative release) or millions may be released (inundative release).

In America and other western countries, inundative releases are predominant, while Asia and the eastern Europe more commonly use inoculation and occasional introductions.

Inundative biocontrol involves applying large quantities of a control agent (such as a fungal pathogen) to weeds in much the same manner as a chemical herbicide.

Biocontrol is often separated into two categories: introducing classical biocontrol agents, often insects, and the increase and inundative use of organisms, often disease agents.

They can be considered the Drosophila of the parasitoid world as they have been used for inundative releases and much of our understanding today comes from experiments with these wasps.

Most tomatoes and cucumbers grown in Canadian greenhouses depend on regular release of parasitic insects (inundative biological control) to control white fly and other pests without insecticides.

Because most registered MPCAs are effective only when used in an inundative fashion, similar to conventional chemical pest control products, the principles of efficacy testing are the same.

Other commercially available predators have failed to provide control of this mite in inundative releases in greenhouses in Europe and North America (Smith 1999, Smith 2000).

Agriculture exploits this finding, and the inundative release of EPNs can effectively control populations of soil insect pests in citrus, cranberries, turfgrass, and tree fruit (Lewis et al. 1998).
