Use of purified Epichloë festucae antifungal protein for dollar spot control on turfgrass
Invention Summary:
The dollar spot disease is a major challenge for turfgrass fields, especially golf courses. The commonly used solution to control this disease is fungicides, which can be hazardous and limited in effectiveness; thus, the need for an alternative solution is imminent.
Rutgers researchers in the department of...

UAV-based Delivery of Solid Insecticide
Invention Summary:
Mosquito borne diseases constitute more than half a billion illnesses and over a million deaths yearly. Wide-scale mosquito pesticide and larvicide dispersion (e.g., aerial dispersion) is no longer a viable option due to 1) posing public health concerns, and 2) urban area expansion into mosquito habitats, making mosquito control...

Autodissemination of an Insect-Growth Regulator for Mosquito Management
Invention Summary:
Container mosquitoes are prime public and veterinary health threats. They are the primary vectors of mosquito-borne viruses such as chikungunya, dengue, and zika which can cause illness among the humans. Stagnant water collected in small, squalid spaces form the habitat of these container mosquitoes. Conventional control...
