Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is an important vegetable crop worldwide. Often times, its production is hindered by fungal diseases. Important fungal diseases limiting tomato production are late blight, caused by Phytophthora infestans, early blight, caused by Alternaria solanii, and septoria leaf spot, caused by Septoria lycopersici, fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporium fsp. oxysporium, ...

powdery mildew is one of the most important disease concerns of tomato production in different regions of the world, which is caused by different species of erysiphales. the most important causal agents of which are leveillula taurica and oidium neolycopersici. in the present study tomato farms in qazvin province were surveyed and tomato leaves with powdery mildew symptoms were collected. after...

This experiment was designed to evaluate the effects of different levels of tomato pomace (DTP) with different multi enzymes on the performance and egg quality of laying hens at the first phase of production. In this experiment 432 hens were used in a completely randomized design in a factorial arrangement of 4×4, with four levels of tomato pomace (0, 4, 8 and 12) and different enzymes (without...

an eight week study was conducted to investigate the effect of inclusion of tomato waste meal in layer diets on laying performance, egg quality and lipid profile as a means to reduce feed cost and pollution. four laying diets containing tomato waste meal (twm) at four levels of 0, 3, 6 or 9% were assigned randomly to 4 groups of 40 birds divided among four replicates of 10 birds in each dietary...

Both A1 and A2 mating types of Phytophthora infestans were detected in El-Behera governorate and the surrounding area where potato and tomato were intensively cultivated during the 2005-2006 growing season. The A2 mating type constituted 14.8% of the total isolates recovered (162) while A1 mating type constituted 83.9%. A 7.4% of the total potato and tomato fields (94) surveyed yielded A2 matin...

Organic heirloom tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum L.) are difficult to grow in Florida as a result of root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) (RKN) and hot, humid growing conditions. Although grafting with resistant rootstocks has been shown effective for RKN management in tomato production, little research has been conducted on grafted heirloom tomatoes under Florida conditions. In this 2-year st...

Problem statement: Dried tomato pomace may be considered as an alternative feedstuff in ruminant nutrition. The limited literature data that are available so far may be interpreted as indirect and suggestive evidence for diminished ruminal fermentation and bacterial synthesis after substitution of dried tomato pomace for soybean meal. Approach: Rumen-fistulated beef steers were used to address ...

In order to improve the use efficiency of a cover crop, hairy vetch (Vicia villosa R., HV), and supplemental chemical N fertilizer, N release and uptake patterns from HV, fast-release N fertilizer (Fast), and slow-release N fertilizer (Slow) in fresh market tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) production were investigated using the 15N-labeling method. In the incubation of soil-added N at two mix r...

The complete genome sequence of a Southern tomato virus (STV) isolate on tomato plants in a seed production field in Bangladesh was obtained for the first time using next-generation sequencing. The identified isolate, STV_BD-13, shares a high degree of sequence identity (99%) with several known STV isolates worldwide.

in this study, high biocontrol potentially bacillus isolates, against root knot nematode were evaluated from viewpoint of biofilm formation and root colonization in vitro. among 139 bacillus isolates from tomato rhizosphere of several regions of razavi khorasan, 15 strains which show more ability to prevent egg hatch and cause larvae mortality of meloidogyne javanica, were tested in biofilm ass...
