The increasing usage of chemical control agents, as well fungicides to manage plant diseases, causes human and environmental health problems. Macroalgae represent a reservoir for tremendous variety secondary metabolites that display wide range biological activities. However, their anti-phytopathogenic properties are still being studied. current study was conducted investigate whether or not the...

Abstract Ornamental grasses are often used in gardens to improve biodiversity and as additional aesthetical resources. However, their use green roofs (GR) living walls (LW) is not so widespread it has been studied extensively. The aim of this work assess the performance seven grass species ( Imperata cylindrica ‘Red Baron’ , Acorus gramineus Stipa tenuissima ‘Pony Fails’ Carex flagellifera ‘Bro...

The number phytopathogenic micromycetes is determined in the seeds of such cultivated varieties cultural plant as soybeans, sunflowers, yellow mustard, buckwheat and thistle, which are grown by organic technology. It shown that differs significantly ranges from 0.2 to 1.3 thousand NCO/g seeds. depends on properties plants variety hybrid, characterized some certain set physiological biochemical ...

Endophytic fungi are widely present in internal plant tissues and provide different benefits to their host. Medicinal plants have unexplored diversity of functional fungal association; therefore, this study aimed isolate endophytic associated with leaves medicinal Ephedra pachyclada evaluate growth-promoting properties. Fifteen isolated endophytes belonging Ascomycota, three genera, Penicillium...

Green roofs are very popular and their individual surface area is constantly growing. Considering that the organo-mineral materials used in planting growing media (GM) often non-renewable resources, search for alternative from waste recycling a challenge. Among these, recycled polyurethane (PU) foams light porous. The objective of this study was to evaluate potential agronomic valorisation PU e...

Background and aims The application of green roof technology has become more common in the central, northwestern and eastern USA, and is now being employed across the southern USA as well. However, there is little research in the literature that evaluated plant survival on unirrigated green roofs in subtropical climates that experience frequent drought and heat stress. Here, we summarize the re...
