Root and crown rot (gummosis) is known as the most destructive disease affecting pistachio in Iran. The efficiency of bacterial strains to reduce the growth rate of Phytophthora pistaciae was studied under different electrical conductivities (EC, 0, 2, 4, 8, 12 ds/m). Soil and rhizosphere samples were collected from pistachio growing regions in Kerman province, Iran, during 2011 - 2012. Overall...

strains of trichoderma harzianum s. l. have a great importance because of affecting mankind by being used as biological control agents against plant pathogens. in the present study, we planned to characterize the phylogenetic structure of t. harzianum recovered from different geographical origins and various habitats in some climates of iran (nc, scd, csw). in order to screen 239 collected tric...

The condensation reaction of 5-(4-aminophenyl)-4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione with salicylaldehyde, 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde, 5-chlorosalicylaldehyde, 5-bromosalicylaldehyde, 2-nitrobenzaldehyde, 3-nitrobenzaldehyde, 4-nitrobenzaldehyde and 4-methoxybenzaldehyde in methanol results in series of new Schiff bases. The structure of Schiff bases were confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR and mass spectro...

results significant differences were observed in the results of co-culture of nematodes larva and fungi after seven days. the most effective fungi against the nematodes larvae were cladosporium sp., trichoderma sp., fusarium equisetti, after seven days of incubation. materials and methods sheep feces were employed to provide the required third stage larvae source for the experiments. the nemato...

fusarium wilt of chickpea, caused by f. oxysporum f. sp. ciceris, is one of the most important diseases of this plant in iran. in order to control this disease, fluorescent pseudomonads were isolated from the rhizosphere of chickpea plants in khorasan province by using king,s b medium (kb). antifungal activity of 80 bacterial strains against f. oxysporum f. sp. ciceris was evaluated on kb and p...

Two biological control agents, Bacillus subtilis AP-01 (Larminar(™)) and Trichoderma harzianum AP-001 (Trisan(™)) alone or/in combination were investigated in controlling three tobacco diseases, including bacterial wilt (Ralstonia solanacearum), damping-off (Pythium aphanidermatum), and frogeye leaf spot (Cercospora nicotiana). Tests were performed in greenhouse by soil sterilization prior to i...
