Current advances in bioherbicide research (1170 words) |
 | Therefore, the term "mycoherbicide" has often been used interchangeably with "bioherbicide." In addition the term "bioherbicide" is generally restricted to the use of plant pathogens and does not include attempts to augment populations of beneficial insects, nor does it generally include the use of naturally occurring compounds (phytotoxins) produced by microorganisms. |
| A bioherbicide is a preparation of living inoculum of a plant pathogen, formulated, and applied in a manner analogous to that of a chemical herbicide in an effort to control or suppress the growth of weed species. |
| The bioherbicide approach is an attempt to bypass many of these restraints on disease development by periodically dispersing an abundant supply of virulent inoculum uniformly onto a susceptible weed population. |
