seven antagonistic bacteria belonging to pseudomonas fluorescens species were evaluated on the basis of inhibitory zone of sclerotinia sclerotiorum fungal growth finally, the most suitable strain (p4) which exerted the greatest effect on reducing the causal agent of sclerotinia root rot was selected for further germinator trails. nine formulations were prepared on the basis of talc powder from ...

The objectives of this research are: (1) to evaluate elite Paradox hybrid clones for resistance to Phytophthora citricola, a virulent and prevalent crown and root pathogen affecting California walnuts and (2) to determine specific etiology of a root and crown rot problem in upper Sacramento Valley orchards on Paradox walnut rootstock. Two screens for resistance to P. citricola were completed in...

In Australia, Fusarium pseudograminearum and F. culmorum are the two main fungi causing crown rot, while Bipolaris sorokiniana is causal agent of common root rot. graminearum typically linked with head blight; however, it has been associated rot in Australia other parts world. This study investigated reactions single cultivars barley, bread wheat, durum oat, triticale to inoculation strains pse...

Metallic silver nanoparticles have been reduced from silver nitrate by employing the extracellular enzymatic machinery of edible White button Mushroom (Agaricus bisporus). The physical properties of these particles, size and shapes have been determined using techniques like TEM, FTIR and XRD and were reported in our earlier report. But, what stands of paramount importance in the presen...

one of the growth limiting factors of onion plants is root and basal plate rot disease, caused by fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cepae. in this research, eight iranian onion genotypes, azarshahr red, ghom white, herssin, isfahan dorcheh, kashan white, nishabour ishaghabad, yazd abarkoh, zanjan gholigheseh and two commercial genotypes, texas erly grano and yellow sweet spanish were investigated. geno...

Root rot is an important and widespread disease that often causes significant reduction in the yield and quality of harvested peas throughout the production areas in New York. Pea root rot can be caused by one of several soilborne pathogens or various combinations of root pathogens and also non-pathogens. In recent years, Fusarium solani f. sp. pisi (causal pathogen of Fusarium root rot) has be...

Abstract Utilization of biocontrol agents is a sustainable approach to reduce plant diseases caused by fungal pathogens. In the present study, we tested effect candidate fungus Aureobasidium pullulans (De Bary) G. Armaud on strawberry under in vitro and vivo conditions control crown rot, root rot grey mould Phytophthora cactorum (Lebert Cohn) Botrytis cinerea Pers, respectively. A dual plate co...
