The effects of cover crops on the biology soybean cyst nematode (SCN; Heterodera glycines) are not well established. It is possible that may reduce SCN population densities by acting as trap crops. Cover with potential to serve stimulate hatching and/or attract hatched juveniles and also be penetrated large numbers nematodes cannot feed. Experiments were conducted determine whether root exudate...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are drivers of plant communities as they influence competition by increasing plants’ root absorptive surface. As such, AMF could be an important tool for ecological restoration. However, a lack research using in sagebrush steppe implies need more assessments its efficacy. Here, we assessed the ability commercial inoculum to colonize and growth three native Art...

To evaluate the effect of fungal inoculants, a pot experiment was carried out on 30 days old transplanted seedlings of Gmelina arborea under nursery condition. Transplants were inoculated with seven day old liquid culture of Aspergillus ellipticus, Fusarium incarnatum, Aspergillus aculeatus, Aspergillus candidus, Penicillium species, Alternaria alternata, Penicillium species, Fusarium javanicum...

Abstract The southeastern United States has a long history of soil degradation due to intensive agriculture and climatic factors. Conservation management practices such as cover cropping aim improve productivity restore health. Our objectives were evaluate the performance crops their short‐term effects on health indicators for two types. Cover crop experiments conducted at Wiregrass (WREC) Tenn...

Dual-use cover crops as forage for livestock could offer ecological and economic benefits when incorporated into rotations with corn (Zea mays L.) soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr) in the Mid-South USA; however, information on implementation impact is limited. A factorial of sixteen cool-season species a no-cover control by two management systems (forage harvest residue left field) was repeated u...

Cover crops are usually planted between cash to protect the soil, take up residual soil nitrate, and release nitrogen (N) subsequent crops. Following cover crop termination, residues may remain on surface, where their decomposition is largely dependent residue temperature water potential (ψresidue). While it possible continuously measure temperature, continuous measurements of ψresidue impracti...

Fusarium semitectum Berkeley and Ravenel and other nonpathogenic fungi appear to contaminate immature cottonseed but cannot express themselves until immediately after seed maturation. It is hypothesized that catechin prevents fungal outgrowth and that inhibition is released when catechin is polymerized during seed maturation.

The reproductive potential of Meloidogyne graminicola was compared with that of M. incognita on Trifolium species in greenhouse studies. Twenty-five Trifolium plant introductions, cultivars, or populations representing 23 species were evaluated for nematode reproduction and root galling 45 days after inoculation with 3,000 eggs of M. graminicola or M. incognita. Root galling and egg production ...
