Abstract
Plant propagation material expressing sugar beet cyst nematode resistance can be treated with a nematode-antagonistic biocontrol agent. Use of the nematode-antagonistic biocontrol agent can reduce the rate at which sugar beet cyst nematode (SBN) pests acquire tolerances to pesticidal activity of sugar beet plants expressing SBN resistance and pesticides, and can also increase yield and pesticidal activity.
Claims17
A method of increasing yield of a sugar beet expressing sugar beet cyst nematode (SBN) resistance or tolerance and reducing a rate at which SBN pests acquire tolerances to pesticidal activity of sugar beet plants expressing SBN resistance or tolerance and pesticides, the method comprising:
- treating sugar beet propagation material expressing SBN resistance or tolerance with a composition wherein the only active component is Pasteuria nishizawae.
A method of increasing yield of a sugar beet expressing sugar beet cyst nematode (SBN) resistance or tolerance and reducing a rate at which SBN pests acquire tolerances to pesticidal activity of sugar beet plants expressing SBN resistance or tolerance and pesticides, the method comprising:
- treating sugar beet propagation material expressing SBN resistance or tolerance with a composition consisting essentially of Pasteuria nishizawae.
