Beauveria and paenibacillus microbial consortia: BASFRecent Research Landscape

Pathogen resistance and chemical toxicity risks necessitate lower synthetic fungicide loads. These formulations engineer specific molecular ratios between Paenibacillus-derived lipopeptides and synthetic agents to enhance antifungal potency.

What technical problems is BASF addressing in Beauveria and paenibacillus microbial consortia?

Insufficient pest control spectrum

(21)evidences

Uncontrolled proliferation of harmful fungi leads to significant agricultural yield loss and crop degradation. Mitigating these pathogens prevents systemic plant health decline and economic instability.

Crop pathogen resistance

(11)evidences

Individual microbial agents or chemical compounds often fail to control a diverse range of pathogens simultaneously. Combining these specific agents addresses the limitation of narrow efficacy windows and prevents pathogen escape.
