The effects of Meloidogyne incognita race 3 and M. arenaria race 1 on growth of kenaf cv. Everglades 41 was determined under greenhouse conditions. Seedlings of kenaf were inoculated with initial population densities (Pi) of 0, 625, 1,250, 2,500, 5,000, and 10,000 eggs/plant and placed on greenhouse benches in a randomized complete block design. Plant growth and nematode reproduction were asses...

Monoxenic cultures of burrowing nematode populations extracted from banana roots from Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, and Costa Rica were established on carrot discs. Cultures of Radopholus spp. were also obtained from Florida, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, and Ivory Coast. The aggressiveness (defined as reproductive fitness and root necrosis) of these populations was evaluated by inoculating b...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of two locally produced microbiological products Trihodermins B-J and Vitmins on scale promotion and bulblet development in Lilium. Lily scales were given three treatments: untreated controls; Vitmins solution (10 ml L) and Vitmins solution (10 ml L) + Trihodermins B-J (dry powder form, at 10 g kg in the substrate). After treatment, sc...

This study was conducted to compare the effect of selected arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi genera and their application rates for enhanced Calliandra growth in Uganda. The performance of Calliandra under different types and rates of arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi inoculation was assessed in the greenhouse using sterilized Mabira soils. Four dominant genera were isolated from the rhizosphere of sorghum...

The liming and mineral fertilization can improve the growth quality of forest species seedlings. effects application nitrogen fertilizer rates limestone on Peltophorum dubium (Sprengel) Taubert seedlings were investigated in this study. plants grown 1.4-L polyethylene bags filled with sandy soil under greenhouse conditions. Treatments arranged a randomized block design 4 × 2 factorial: four N (...

Coffee seeds are an important planting material in coffee cultivation. germination is a complex process. One of the efforts to germinate by soaking water. The purpose this study was determine effect length time water on seeds, knowing rice washing and interaction between with seed germination. This used factorial randomized block design (RBD) two factors, repeated three times. results showed th...

drought, high and low tempratures are the most important abiotic stresses in chickpea cultivation. improving plant root characteristics (root length and root volume) is one of the ways to increase drought tolerance in chickpea. mycorrhizal symbiosis increases drought resistance of host plants through different mechanisms. to study the effects of water stress and mycorrhizal fungi inoculation on...

When a deer eats the primary shoot of a plant, this can activate a nearby dormant axillary bud, causing it to formasecondary shoot. Genetic and environmental factors also affect shoot architecture, which strongly influences crop productivity. Changes in shoot architecture are mediated by long-distance signals, including phytohormones. For example, strigolactones (SLs) help regulate shoot branch...
