Efficiency of inorganic fungicides against the formation of Erysiphe necator chasmothecia in vineyards

Stefan Moeth et al.

Summary: To control grape powdery mildew, it is important to reduce the primary inoculum source, chasmothecia. This study evaluated the effectiveness of applying different fungicides late in the growing season to reduce chasmothecia formation. The results showed that copper and potassium bicarbonate fungicides significantly reduced chasmothecia on vine leaves. These fungicides are valuable for both organic and conventional wine growers. Rating: 9 out of 10.

Plant based natural products as potential ecofriendly and safer biopesticides: A comprehensive overview of their advantages over conventional pesticides, limitations and regulatory aspects

Aadil Khursheed et al.

Summary: Synthetic pesticides are toxic to humans, animals, non-target plants, and the environment, leading to an increased interest in biopesticides derived from natural sources. Plant-based biopesticides have complex chemical compositions that make it difficult for pests to develop resistance. They have various anti-insecticidal mechanisms and can inhibit oviposition and decrease adult emergence. However, limitations such as cost, production difficulties, and lack of appropriate formulations restrict their widespread use.
