The effectiveness of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria especially Pseudomonas fluorescens isolates were tested against charcoal rot of chickpea both in green house as well as in field conditions. Most of the isolates reduced charcoal rot disease and promoted plant growth in green house. A marked increase in shoot and root length was observed in P. fluorescens treated plants. Among all the P....

The fungus Macrophomina phaseolina is the causal agent of charcoal rot in many crops, such as strawberries and beans. Symptoms include stem root chlorotic foliage. This disease’s management complicated because pathogen forms resistant microsclerotia. work aimed to obtain bacterial isolates for biocontrol M. arid regions. Two strains that grew well under low pH high salinity, named BsA3MX BsC11M...

Abstract An in vivo experiment was conducted at the College of Agriculture, CMU, Musuan, Bukidnon, Philippines on corn and peanut seeds order to assess antifungal effects different concentrations powdered Bidens pilosa leaves against postharvest pathogens. B. powder thoroughly mixed varying amounts as treatments observed for presence fungal growths during observation period up 35 days. Data gat...

The plant microbe interaction in the rhizosphere is one of the major factors regulating the health and growth of plants. Actinomycetes are common filamentous soil microorganisms important in maintaining a satisfactory biological balance in the soil, largely because of the ability to produce antibiotics. In the present study Antagonistic Actinomycetes species was isolated from rhizosphere of Bt ...

abstract temperature is one of the most important environmental factors affecting on physiological characteristics of fungi. in order to wide host range of macrophomina phaseolina (tassi) goildanich, verticillium dahliae kleb. and sclerotinia sclerotiorum (lib.) de bary, become aware from growth rate and productivity of resistant and survival form of these phyto-pathogens in different temperatu...
