Full-text available
Earthworms’ coelomic fluid (CF) has been discovered to possess properties that promote plant development. In particular, the earthworm’s coelomic fluid-associated bacteria (CFB) are the primary factor influencing the plants’ response. To investigate this, we used bacteria isolated from the CF and selected based on different plant growth-promoting t...

Detection and Treatment of Emerging Contaminants in Wastewater addresses the critical and pressing need for effective strategies to detect and treat emerging contaminants, thereby mitigating risks associated with their presence in wastewater. This comprehensive book features contributions from prominent experts in the field of wastewater, providing...
Chapter
Earthworm Technology in Organic Waste Management: Recent Trends and Advances is a suitable contribution to the Waste and The Environment: Underlying Burdens And Management Strategies series that will be helpful in classifying and broadly addressing assessments, mitigation strategies, and the management of organic wastes using earthworms. In additio...
Chapter
Tremendous population growth and an increase in industrial, agricultural, and healthcare products have resulted in an uncontrollable rise in the emission of new contaminants. These emerging contaminants (ECs) are present in the environment at low concentrations, but they have the potential to cause significant environmental harm. Earthworms, with f...

Earthworms influence soil ecosystem functions such as decomposition and regulation of nutrient cycles by burrowing, feeding, or secreting their cutaneous excreta. Earthworms can also modulate soil biodiversity and their interactions. Recent research has revealed that earthworm feeding activity or excretions can alter the performance of entomopathog...

Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) are excellent biocontrol agents against various insect pests. Novel biotechnological approaches can enhance their utility against insects above-ground, opening a new venue for selecting superior EPN against certain insects. We hypothesize that different populations of the same species but from different origins (hab...

The European grapevine moth (EGVM) Lobesia botrana (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) is a relevant pest in the Palearctic region vineyards and is present in the Americas. Their management using biological control agents and environmentally friendly biotechnical tools would reduce intensive pesticide use. The entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) in the famili...
Article
Full-text available
Vineyards face several biotic threats that compromise the grape quality and quantity. Among those that cause relevant economic impact and have worldwide distribution are the oomycete Plasmopara vitícola, the fungi Erysiphe necator and Botrytis cinerea, and the arthropods Lobesia botrana, Tetranychus urticae, and Phylaenus spumarius (principal vecto...

Unravelling the effect of the presence of earthworms or their cutaneous excreta and entomopathogenic nematodes in the soil bacterial community, biocontrol capacity, and plant traits
Article
Full-text available
Earthworms are ecological engineers that can contribute to the displacement of biological control agents such as the entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) and fungi (EPF). However, a previous study showed that the presence of cutaneous excreta (CEx) and feeding behavior of the earthworm species Eisenia fetida (Haplotaxida: Lumbricidae) compromise the b...

Earthworms are beneficial to soil organisms that promote soil structure and enhance the decomposition of organic matter, but also contribute to the passive displacement in soils of biological control agents (BCAs) such as the entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) in the families Sterneinematidae and Heterorhabditidae. However, a recent study showed tha...

En un contexto agroecológico y de manejo integrado de los cultivos, estrategias de protección y preservación de la biodiversidad en los suelos agrícolas, como son la aplicación de técnicas de enriquecimiento del suelo con lombrices o de enmiendas ecológicas como el vermicompost (Real Decreto 506/2013, de 28 de junio, sobre productos fertilizantes),...

Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) and entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) are excellent biological control agents of insects. However, many extrinsic factors, such as the presence of other soil inhabitants, modulate their efficiency. Earthworms are considered soil eco-engineers because their activities enhance soil properties. Earthworms’ movement promote...

Earthworms can promote the dissemination of beneficial soil organisms, including entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs)(Shapiro-Ilan and Brown, 2013). It is known that EPN displacement along the soil profile can be favored by the presence of earthworm. However, the impact of other earthworm activities such as feeding behavior or mucus production is stil...
