Reprocessing organic vegetable waste from conventional markets can have beneficial effects, such as producing bioenergy, reducing the need for inorganic fertilizers, and minimizing volume of contaminants in environment. Organic material composting help lower greenhouse gas emissions generate income. Physical-chemical factors like temperature, pH, particle size, moisture content, aeration, CN ra...

In this experiment soybean seeds were pre-treated with salt tolerant isolate of Trichoderma harzianum to evaluate the different aspects of seedling growth and metabolism in response to different concentrations of NaCl. Trichoderma isolate was more effective in improving dry weight and root volume of seedlings during mild salt stress. Seedlings obtained from bioprimed seeds had significantly hig...

The present study was carried out to evaluate the ability of Trichoderma harzianum (ALL 42-isolated from Brazilian Cerrado soil) to promote common bean growth and to modulate its metabolism and defense response in the presence or absence of the phytopathogenic fungi Rhizoctonia solani and Fusarium solani using a proteomic approach. T. harzianum was able to promote common bean plants growth as s...

abstract in low-input cropping systems, the natural roles of microorganisms in maintaining soil fertility may be more important than conventional system. in order to investigate the effects of plant growth promoting fungi on improvement of growth and development in soybean (cv: jk) an experiment was conducted at the research farm of sari agricultural sciences and natural resources university du...

AIM The main goal of the present research conducted to assess the in vitro activity of the nematophagous fungi Duddingtonia flagrans, Fusarium solani, Verticillium chlamidosporium, and Trichoderma harzianum. MATERIAL AND METHODS Four isolates of fungi including D. flagrans, F. solani, V. chlamidosporium and T. harzianum were used in this study. Horse faeces were used to provide the larvae sta...

The impact of microbiological commercial products (PHC Biopak, Rhizatech and ECO-T) on the occurrence of mycorrhizae and Fusarium in the rhizosphere of tissue culture banana (Gros Mitchel cv.) was assessed. Tissue cultured banana plantlets were inoculated with PHC Biopak (Bacillus), Rhizatech (mycorrhiza) and ECO-T (T. harzianum) under greenhouse conditions using a completely randomized design ...

The recent growth in production and utilization of natural gas offers potential climate benefits, but those benefits depend on lifecycle emissions of methane, the primary component of natural gas and a potent greenhouse gas. This study estimates methane emissions from the transmission and storage (T&S) sector of the United States natural gas industry using new data collected during 2012, includ...

BACKGROUND The conversion of biomass-derived sugars via enzymatic hydrolysis for biofuel production is a challenge. Therefore, the search for microorganisms and key enzymes that increase the efficiency of the saccharification of cellulosic substrates remains an important and high-priority area of study. Trichoderma harzianum is an important fungus known for producing high levels of cellulolytic...

Nineteen isolates of Trichoderma viride and Trichoderma harzianum obtained from rhizosphere soil of plantation crops, forest soil and agricultural fields of North Bengal region were studied using RAPD and ITS-PCR. The genetic relatedness among eleven isolates of T. viride and eight isolates of T. harzianum were analyzed with six random primers. RAPD profiles showed genetic diversity among the i...

trichoderma species are among important antagonists of plant pathogenic fungi. the main purpose of this study was to evaluate the biocontrol potential of native trichoderma spp. isolates from sugar beet fields against phytophthora drechsleri and p. cryptogea, the causal agents of phytophthora root rot of sugar beet. during 2007–08, 85 isolates of trichoderma spp. from sugar beet fields in eight...
