Effects of savory essential oil on germination parameters of Fusarium infected-seeds of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.).
High use of synthetic pesticides has detrimental effects on the environment. An alternative option is application of natural pesticide compounds. The aim of this study was to evaluate the possibility of replacing Vitavax with savory essential oil to inhibit physiological damages to wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) seeds caused by Fusarium oxysprum. A pot experiment was carried out on wheat seeds as...
متن کاملAntagonistic Activity of Fungi Against Pythium debaryanum (Hesse) Isolated From Chilli Field Soil
Fungal phytopathogens are cause of many plant diseases and much loss of crop yields, especially in tropical and subtropical regions. Chemical fungicides are extensively used in agriculture. However, these products may cause problems such as environmental pollution and affect human health. Microorganisms as biocontrol agents have high potential to control plant pathogens and no effect on the env...
متن کاملFungicides and Essential Oils for Controlling Maize Seed-Borne Fusarium moniliforme and its Transmission into Seedlings
Seed borne diseases are important constraints to maize production. Investigations were carried out to identify fungal infection of maize seed and determine its effect on seed germination. Studies on the effects of fungicides and essential oils from aromatic plants on the level of seed-borne F. moniliforme and its seed to seedling transmission were also part of the work. Blotter method was used ...
متن کاملIn vitro Evaluation of Biocontrol Agents Against Damping Off Disease Caused by Pythium debaryanum on Tomato
Damping-off diseases incited by different species of Pythium are a persistent problem worldwide, often resulting in reduced yields and occasionally resulting in major crop damage. There have been increasing restrictions on the use of chemical fungicides, and the development of disease-suppressive biocontrol agents has become a major goal of horticulture crops. An experiment was conducted with t...
متن کاملCombination Effect of Piriformospora indica, Chilling and Gibberellic Acid on Seed Germination Traits of Kelussia odoratissima Mozaff.
Kelussia odoratissima Mozaff. belonging to the Apiaceae family, is well known for its medicinal and nutritional importance, endemic to Iran. Seed dormancy is a major problem present in Kelussia odoratissima leading to low germination percentage; thus, improvement of seed germination and breaking seed dormancy is important. Piriformospora indica, a root-colonizing endo...
