In Mexico, phymatotrichopsis root rot is regarded as the most important disease in pecan tree. Its causative agent fungus Phymatotrichopsis omnivora (Duggar) Hennebert, and percentage of diseased trees ranges between 3 to more than 25% a plantation. Symptoms vary from mild damages death infected The roots invaded by die with consequent reduction foliage. Chemical control one used methods this p...

Pasteuria penetrans is a mycelial, endospore-forming, bacterial parasite that has shown great potential as a biological control agent of root-knot nematodes. Considerable progress has been made during the last 10 years in understanding its biology and importance as an agent capable of effectively suppressing root-knot nematodes in field soil. The objective of this review is to summarize the cur...

the biological control ability of fluorescent pseudomonas spp. results from competition for space and untrient, antibiosis and colonization in the rhizosphere. biocontrol fluorescent pseudomonads produce a wide variety of antibiotics. in this study, the biocontrol ability of 39 strains of biocontrol pseudomonas fluorescens, was examined against fusarium graminearum the causal agent of wheat fus...

Biological control agents are useful components in the enhancement of plant disease resistance and improvement of soil properties. Effect of biological control agents (BCAs) as a disease control method in plants is hampered by their vulnerability to environmental and edaphic conditions. This study entailed the use of chitosan-silica nanocomposites for delivery of BCAs. Effect of BCAs-nanocompos...
