Description of Tested Tactic
The research presented here explores the possibility of using a fungal plant pathogen secondary metabolite as a target-specific bioherbicide for buffelgrass (Cenchrus ciliaris) based on toxic compounds produced by one or more of its fungal pathogens as Cochliobolus australiensis and Pyricularia grisea.
