Abstract Late wilt, a vascular disease caused by the fungus of Cephalosporium maydis , is considered one Egypt’s most severe maize threats. The purpose this study was to investigate suppressive effect resistance inducer beta-sitosterol on C. as well its involvement in reducing incidence late wilt infection under greenhouse and field conditions. In vitro studies potato dextrose yeast extract aga...

Salinity stress limits crop growth and productivity, including legumes in various regions worldwide. The impact of foliar-applied zinc nanoparticles (ZnNPs) combined nano-loaded with moringa extracts (ZnONPs) on salt tolerance faba beans (cultivar, Giza-716) grown under saline soil (50 100 mM NaCl) was investigated. Moringa oleifera extract has been used as a chelating agent to synthesize oxide...

Crop show morphological and physiological responses to microbial, physical or chemical factors which are known as elicitors. Chitosan is a natural biopolymer modified from chitin, which is the main structural component of squid pens, cell walls of some fungi and crab shells. Water stress is one of the most important abiotic stresses that affects plant physiological and morphological traits. In ...

The aim of the research was to develop an innovative technique in seed production red clover. carried out 2013–2016, Felin (51°22′ N, 22°65′ E), a dependent arrangement (split-split-plot) four replications. first order factor use attractant: (1) control object, with pure water spraying, (2) attractant used 60 BBCH phase, (3) applied twice—in and 65 scale. second fertilization: (a) standard obje...

Glasswort(Salicornia europaea L.) as an important halophyte plant is capable to accumulate NaCl in aboveground part (fully edible) in considerable quantity. To evaluate the effect of irrigation levels and nitrogen fertilizer on the yield of seed and oil, and also harvest index of Glasswort, a split plot experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design with three replications a...

Sage (Salvia officinalis L.) is cultivated worldwide especially in Mediterranean regions in which the leaves of this herb are widely used in pharmaceutical and food industries. Brassinolides and paclobutrazol are naturally occurring substances which modulate plant growth and development events and have been known to improve the crops tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses. The effects of spra...

Foliar application or minerals is a methodology to promote growth and/or yield and protect plants against different kinds of stresses. Currently there great interest in evaluating the effect nanoparticles for enhancing these treatments. This study was performed evaluate compare foliar zinc oxide (ZnO) (ZnO-NPs) on safflower under irrigation regimes. applications ZnO all concentrations (4, 6, 8,...

Anthocyanins, soluble sugars, and organic acids play a vital role in the color flavor of grape berries. N KH2PO4 are essential nutrients for growth development. However, research on effects foliar spraying skin grapes under different levels were not systematic. In this study, “Flame seedless” used as test material. There six treatments experiment, including low nitrogen (LN), + (LNK), moderate ...

Background & Aim: This experiment investigated the effect of foliar application of methanol and ethanol on the biomass yield of medicinal plant Echinacea purpurea. Purple coneflower is an herbaceous perennial in the Asteraceae family that is used in therapy of respiratory tract infection and bacterial otitis. Experimental: This experiment was conducted in randomized complete ...
