effective microorganisms (em) is a commercial biofertilizer mainly consists of photosynthetic and lactic acid bacteria, yeast and actinomycetes. in order to evaluate the influence of em (0 and %1) and salt stress (0 mm, 50 mm, 100 mm and 150 mm) on the morphophysiological characteristics of pomegranate cv. shishe-kap, a factorial experiment was conducted based on the completely randomized desig...

Seven bacterial isolates (viz., AB05, AB10, AB11, AB12, AB14, AB15, and AB17) were derived from the rhizosphere and evaluated in terms of plant growth-promoting activities and the inhibition of Phytophthora infestans affecting tomatoes in Korea. According to 16S rDNA sequencing, a majority of the isolates are members of Bacillus, and a single isolate belongs to Paenibacillus. All seven isolates...

Aeroponic culture is an alternative method for optimizing growth of different plants in controlled conditions. Aeroponic systems are an efficient tool for the root studies and improving medicinal root production. In order to study the feasibility of valerian (Valeriana officinalis L.) production in aeroponic systems and assessing the effects of different NAA concentrations (0, 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5...

Meloidogyne partityla is a parasite of pecan and walnut. Our objective was to determine interactions between the entomopathogenic nematode-bacterium complex and M. partityla. Specifically, we investigated suppressive effects of Steinernema feltiae (strain SN) and S. riobrave (strain 7-12) applied as infective juveniles and in infected host insects, as well as application of S. feltiae's bacteri...

a greenhouse experiment was performed in the framework of a completely randomized design and a factorial arrangement to evaluate the effect of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (amf) on growth and on root antioxidant enzyme changes of two citrus rootstocks (sour orange and rough lemon). the experimental factors were: mycorrhizal treatments at two levels (inoculation with glomus mosseae vs. control) ...

ABSTRACT Nematode control strategies are limited and alternative is demanded. The main aim was to evaluate potential of Hohenbuehelia spp. (Hohenbuehelia mastrucata, barbatula, bullulifera, portegna, petaloides paraguayensis) Trichoderma koningiopsis against Meloidogyne javanica in bean plants greenhouse. parameters evaluated were the number galls egg masses which three root regions: basal, int...
