Citrus trees face threats from several diseases that affect its production, in particular dry root rot (DRR). DRR is a multifactorial disease mainly attributed to Neocosmospora (Fusarium) solani and other species of Fusarium spp. Nowadays, biological control holds promising strategy showed great potential as reliable eco-friendly method for managing disease. In the present study, antagonist rhizobacteria isolates were screened based on vitro dual culture bioassay with N. solani. Out 210...
In North Africa, Tetranychus urticae Koch, 1836 represents one of the most destructive generalists among mite herbivores. Unfortunately, it is a source important annual casualties in crop production. It phytophagous that can feed on hundreds host plants and produces significant damage. The control T. Africa has been principally based acaricide sprays. However, new alternative methods have shown effective results, such as artificial ultraviolet-B, natural enemies, introduction genetic...
This study investigates the infestation dynamics of Panonychus ulmi McGregor 1916 and its associated predators in Malus domestica borkh orchards across three towns Morocco: Midelt, Ait Sebaa, Imouzzer-Kender, situated Fez-Meknes Draa-Tafilalt regions. Sebaa (Fez-Meknes region), characterized by high temperatures a lower altitude, exhibited substantial increase P. predators. In contrast, Midelt (Draa-Tafilalt with highest demonstrated mite counts. Imouzzer-Kender at an intermediate showed...
Durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) is a major crop of North Africa. Here, its production affected by Hessian fly (Mayetiola destructor, HF) epidemics. Genetic resistance against this pest exist, but molecular basis remains unclear. panel 159 modern lines were exposed to the Moroccan HF biotype. Association mapping studies revealed three loci conferring resistance. QH.icd-2A was identified at LOD 24.1 on telomeric end 2AL, and it believed represent novel locus derived from T. dicoccum....
Abstract The abundance of Panonychus citri McGregor 1916 (Acari: Tetranychidae) and its associated enemies ( Euseius stipulatus Athias-Henriot, 1960; Typhlodromus sp.; Phytoseiulus persimilis 1957) was studied on two 12-year-old citrus cultivars, specifically Clementine “Nules” Citrus Clementina ) Valencia sinensis ), in the Gharb region Morocco. Throughout entire monitoring period late cultivar, density spider mite P. leaves notably higher at 38.0% n = 1,212 mobile forms). Predator...
Several diseases affect the productivity of olive trees, including root rot disease caused by
Abstract Despite the importance of potato crops for food security, it is threatened by fungal diseases. Late blight caused Phytophthora infestans one oomycetes that pose a major threat to global production. In this review, we compiled recent data on P . impacts with focus management approaches. We discussed mycelium and sporangia leaves, tuber, plants in field during storage. Concerning approaches, demonstrated negative chemical fungicides environment public health, as well development...
The olive tree is one of the most important fruit crops grown in Morocco, yet extensive decline associated with root rot this crop has been observed many regions. This study aimed to identify and characterize oomycetes disease trees. During 2021 2022 growing seasons, symptomatic tissues soil samples were collected for isolation. Based on morphological traits sequencing internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region rDNA, 10 oomycete species identified, belonging Phytophthora Pythium sensu lato...
Currently, pests control using chemical acaricides constitutes worries for ecologists and health care people as these products create damage to the ecosystem well development of spider mites resistance. Such concerns request deep rapid feedback by looking new alternative eco-friendly methods. In recent years, a field is evolving in use essential oils pest management practices. Essential have been considered potential agents, because they demonstrate broad range bioactivity, possess contact,...
To evaluate the effectiveness of eco-friendly treatments based on detergents classified as non-hazardous and black soap pest Tetranychus urticae Koch 1836, their predators (Euseius stipulatus Athias-Henriot, 1960, Typhlodromus sp., Phytoseiulus persimilis 1957), different were applied to citrus orchards planted with Valencia late (Orange) in Mechraa Belksiri region Morocco (T0 = control experiment; T1 spirodiclofen 0.5 L/Ha; T2 125 L/Ha (5%) soap; T3 detergent; 4 Oni product + 2 Tide...
The present work was carried out to evaluate the phenolic compounds, antibacterial, antifungal and antioxidant activities of essential oil (EO) aqueous extract (AE) Lavandula angustifolia L. extracts were obtained by hydrodistillation, decoction method using water, then, total phenolics, flavonoids condensed tannins determined Folin-Ciocalteu, Aluminium chloride, Bate-Smith reaction methods, respectively. Afterward, antibacterial activity evaluated borth microdilution and, discussed dilution...
Root rot is a damaging disease caused by various pathogenic fungi including, Fusarium spp., Rhizoctonia and especially oomycetes. This poses significant challenges to food crop production worldwide. Pythium Phytophthora, most species of these genera, are fungus-like pathogens that can grow expand in diverse agroecosystems, inflicting severe damage the root systems numerous crops, including cereals, vegetables, legumes. Multiple factors contribute proliferation rot, temperature, soil moisture...
Abstract Biotic stress caused by pests on citrus trees has become a major problem for ecologists around the world, hence need to develop ecological approaches surmount this stress. To evaluate effectiveness of diverse control methods pest Panonychus citri and its predators, Euseius stipulatus , Phytoseiulus persimilis Typhlodromus sp. Different treatments were applied in orchards planted Citrus clementina Gharb area Morocco (T0 = treated water only, T1 spirodiclofen (the molecular formula is...
In the last decade, there's been a rising emphasis on eco-friendly solvents in industry and academia due to environmental concerns. Vegetable oils are now recognized as practical, non-toxic option for extracting phytochemicals from herbs. This study presents novel, green, user-friendly method phenolic content Crocus sativus L. waste using ultrasound. It replaces conventional organic with sustainable sunflower oil, making process cost-effective. The effects of temperature (18–52 °C),...
Abstract Oil bodies (OB) were extracted from argan kernels using an aqueous extraction method. The composition of OB revealed its lipid profile, which had a high content stearic and palmitic acid. Besides, evidence suggested association between tocopherols. physical properties (AOB) showed that their size was around 1.9 μm the ζ‐potential went +17.7 mV at pH 2.0 to −32.25 8, with isoelectric point 5.1. stable small 2.0, 7.0, 8.0 but large near pI. Additionally, AOB against...
