Pathogen Botryodiplodia sp. is a fungus that causes dieback and stems rot diseases attack forestry plants. The control currently being used in the field using chemical pesticides, which are harmful to surrounding environment plant itself, so there need for another alternative, namely citronella patchouli essential oils. Essential oils of have active compounds act as antifungals inhibit growth p...

Fomitiporia mediterranea M. Fisch. (Fmed) is a basidiomycete first described in 2002, and was considered up to then as part of punctata (P. Karst) Murrill. This fungus can degrade lignocellulosic biomass, causing white rot leaving bleached fibrous host residues. In Europe Fmed the main grapevine wood (Esca) agent within Esca disease complex, which includes some most economically important Grape...

biological control of plant pathogens with the aim of reducing the harmful effects of pesticides on human health threats, environmental pollution, eliminating non-target organisms and the emergence of resistant pathogens is a priority. in this regard, the use of antimicrobial potential of plant metabolites, have been discussed in recent years. in this study the effects of ethanol extract of wat...

AIMS To formulate the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana in invert emulsion, then apply it against adults of almond bark beetle (Scolytus amygdali) under laboratory and field conditions. METHODS AND RESULTS The effect of formulated B. bassiana in invert emulsion against S. amygdali adults was shown by comparing the mortality percentage of adults exposed to the formulated fungus using ...

Powdery mildew caused by Erysiphe necator, is one of the most economically damaging diseases of grapevine throughout the world. This is the first molecular biology study on this fungus in Iran. The aims of the present study were (a) to analyse genetic diversity between isolates of E. necator fungus in four main grape production regions in Iran, i. e., Qazvin, Alamoot, Takestan and Shahriar and ...

The entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo 1835) Vuillemin is an effective alternative control agent against some agricultural pests and biological vectors of important diseases such as Chagas disease. In this work we studied an isolate of Beauveria bassiana from of the town of San Antonio Rayón, Puebla, Mexico and its entomopathogenic effects on Meccus pallidipennis (Stal 1872). P...

the non-defoliant strain of verticillium dahliae (ss-4) was isolated from olive groves showing disease symptoms in toshan area of southern gorgan city. root-knot nematode, meloidogyne javanica, was recovered from infested olive seedlings and following identification it was propagated on tomato seedlings cv. rutgers. one-year-old seedlings of olive cultivars, zard, roghani, koroneiki and manzani...
