Trichoderma is the most commonly used fungal biocontrol agent throughout world. In present study, various isolates were isolated from different vegetable fields. microflora, colony edges varied wavy to smooth. The mycelial forms predominantly floccose with hyaline color and conidiophores among all strains highly branched. Based on morphological attributes, identified as harzianum. molecular identification using multilocus sequencing ITS, rpb2 tef1α, genes further confirmed identification....
The potential effect of rhizobial inoculation on root knot nematodes in chickpea, mungbean and pigeonpea were studied under field condition. seed treatment with respective rhizobium strains increased the nodulation, leghemoglobin content, bacteriod population, plant growth, yield nitrogen uptake three food legumes compared to plants without treatment. nematode (1500 juveniles/kg soil) incited oval galls roots legumes, suppressed growth yield. galling, egg mass production soil population was...
Abstract Apple, a major fruit of temperate Himalayas, is sprayed with chemical pesticides around 12 times during the cropping season. Various systemic and contact fungicides are applied for management diseases. In order to manage disease, flusilazole 40 EC frequently used. However, excessive application has been found be detrimental consumer safety. Keeping in view safety, risk assessment, half‐life waiting period were evaluated on Red Velox variety apple. The QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap,...
The incorporation of dry neem leaves into the soil significantly enhanced yield uninoculated eggplant, but aldicarb treatments at 4 kg a.i./ha proved to be phytotoxic. Inoculation with root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita (1500 J_2/plant) caused a significant decrease in both plant growth (12.5%) and (11.9%) eggplant cv. Pusa Purple Round. Treatments involving leaves, Pochonia chlamydosporia, Paecilomyces lilacinus, Trichoderma harzianum, or reduced suppressive effect nematode, leading...
The compatability of fungal (Trichoderma harzianum, Trichoderma virens and Pochonia chlamydosporia) bacterial biocontrol agents (Bacillus subtilis Pseudomonas fluorescens) was assessed to 6 pesticides viz., carbendazim, mancozeb, metalaxyl, captan, thiram, nemacur commonly used by farmers in India for the control soil borne plant pathogens. at different concentrations concentration 60, 1050, 160, 225, 25, 980 µg/ml thiram safe tolerance limit T. harzianum whereas corresponding values were...
The effects of Trichoderma harzianum, T. hamatum, viride, polysporum, and koningii on the wilt disease complex chickpea caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceri Rhizoctonia solani were investigated under field conditions during 2 consecutive years. Chickpea cultivar Avrodhi, grown in plots inoculated with F. R. solani, showed chlorosis leaves wilting foliage exhibited a 22%-25% decrease yield. Soil application biocontrol agents (BCAs) checked severity 25%-56% 39%-67% increased yield...
Rice blast is considered one of the most important fungal diseases rice. Although can be managed by using resistant cultivars, pathogen has successfully overcome single gene resistance in a short period and rendered several varieties susceptible to which were otherwise intended resistant. As such, chemical control still efficient method disease for reducing losses caused due diseases. Field experiments conducted over two successive years, 2018 2019, temperate rice growing areas northern...
Saffron (stigmas of Crocus sativus L.) has been used for medicinal purposes since decades. Modern pharmacological research confirms large parts of traditional knowledge regarding the effects saffron. With recent availability aqueous extracts with reproducible composition and preparation according to pharmacopoeial standards, foundations a development saffron into rational phytomedicines have laid. Key words: Saffron, medicine, stigma, properties.
The effect of treating seed chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) cv. BG 256 with commercial formulations (2 g kg-1 seed) Trichoderma harzianum and Pseudomonas fluorescens, singly jointly, to control wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceri was examined in plants growing microplots under field conditions. On untreated plants, the fungus characteristic symptoms significantly (P=0.05) decreased dry weight yield by 20 18% respectively (significant at P=0.05). On without wilt, treatment P....
