Biological Control of the cotton leafworm, Spodoptera littoralis with new isolates of Bacillus thuringiensis. Funded by the Cotton Board and the Ministry of Agriculture, Israel. 1. Collaboration
with, and work at "EcoScience" (Massachusetts)
included the development of biocontrol preparations
for plant diseases control. From this work, a commercial
microbial preparation "BiosaveTM10" is on
the market (see patent #1) for the control of postharvest
diseases (Penicillium expansum, P. digitatum, P. italicum,
Botrytis cinerea, Mucor piriformis) on apple, pear
and citrus fruit). 2. Collaboration
with Dr. Aviah Zilberstein (Plant Sciences, Tel-Aviv
University), the group of Prof. Jeff. Schell (Max
Planck Inst. Cologne, Germany) and "Vitality
Biotechnologies, Israel" on the development of
transgenic crop plants expressing Bacillus thuringiensis
Cry toxins for insect resistance (see patent # 2) |
