Grapevine trunk diseases (GTDs) are currently considered some of the most important challenges for viticulture, curtailing vineyard longevity and productivity in nearly every raisin, table wine grape production region California worldwide. Pruning wounds provide main entry point fungal pathogens responsible these diseases; enter following precipitation events. The aim this study was to evaluate...

Black leaf streak disease (BLSD) caused by Mycosphaerella fijiensisa an ascomycete fungus is the most important foliar ofbananas (Musa sp.). Losses due to this pathogen can exceed 50% in case of no resistant cultivars and effective treatments. This study aimed evaluate efficacy four biopesticides on severity fijiensis. It was conducted under natural infestation conditions industrial dessert ban...

Growth-promoting bacteria are already used in sustainable agricultural systems Brazil. The market is dominated by inoculants and biological pesticides, which do not reach the full potential of this tool sector. This study aimed to evaluate four bacterial strains for presence growth promotion mechanisms, as well reduction Asian rust severity soybean plants its effects on three antioxidant enzyme...

Soybean Fusarium wilt and root rot disease caused by a necrotrophic ascomycete pathogen, F. oxysporum, triggered severe damage to the plant tissues organs impacted heavy losses. Biocontrol agents, Bacillus subtilis, were commonly used produce broad spectrum of antifungal substances gradually in biocontrol studies for management. Investigation determination inhibiting mechanism substance produce...

This study aimed to produce an economic and stable biofungicide based on a new effective antagonistic strain (Trichoderma harzianum JF419706) via the exploitation of agro-industrial lignocellulosic residues as carriers for fungal growth control root rot diseases vegetable crops. Trichoderma JF419706 showed good resistance chemical fungicide with two-fold recommended dose. It was able propagate ...

The postharvest life of most fruit, vegetables and cereals is limited by fungal proliferation. chemical composition Mentha piperita, M. spicata suaveolens essential oils (EO), the antifungal activity against four pathogenic post-harvest fungi isolated from food, were herein investigated to evaluate their potential as natural food preservatives. EO obtained hydrodistillation aerial parts leaves,...

Xenocoumacin 1 (Xcn1), which is produced by Xenorhabdus nematophila CB6, exhibits strong inhibition activity against plant pathogens, especially fungi and oomycetes. Therefore, it has attracted interest in developing into a novel biofungicide applicable for protection. However, its low yield with concomitant high cost during the fermentation process limits widespread application. In this study,...
