Abstract The qualitative and quantitative assessment of groundwater is one the important aspects for determining suitability potable water. Therefore, present study has been performed to evaluate quality Achhnera block in city Taj, Agra, India, where an water resource. samples, 50 number were collected analyzed major ions along with some trace element. This further investigated applicability index (GWQI), principal component analysis (PCA) mark out geochemical solutes responsible origin...
The aim of the present study was to evaluate impact Trichoderma harzianum UBSTH-501- and methyl jasmonate-induced systemic resistance their integration on spot blotch pathogen, Bipolaris sorokiniana through enhanced phenylpropanoid activities in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). It found that application MeJA (>100 mg L-1) inhibits germination B. spores under controlled laboratory conditions. To assess effect (150 combination with biocontrol agent T. UBSTH-501 vivo, a green house...
Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain MF-30 isolated from maize rhizosphere was characterized for several plant stimulating attributes. The also evaluated antifungal properties against Rhizoctonia solani causing banded leaf and sheath blight in (Zea mays L.) under vitro conditions found to have higher mycelial suppression the culture suspension (67.41%) followed by volatile organic compounds (62.66%) crude extract (51.20%) a dual plate assay. endophytic epiphytic...
Under changing climate, soil salinity and sodicity is a limiting factor to crop production are considered threat sustainability in agriculture. A number of attempts being made develop microbe-based technologies for alleviation toxic effects salts. However, the mechanisms salt tolerance agriculturally important crops not fully understood still require in-depth study backdrop emerging concepts biological systems. The present investigation was aimed decipher microbe-mediated maize. Endophytic...
The present study aimed to identify potential endophytic bacteria antagonistic against three soil-borne fungal pathogens, Rhizoctonia solani, Sclerotium rolfsii, and Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. ciceri causing root rot, collar wilt diseases in chickpea plants, respectively. A total of 255 bacterial endophytes were isolated from the leaves, stems, roots seven different crop plants (chickpea, tomato, wheat, berseem, mustard, potato, green pea). dual culture-based screening for antifungal...
Endophytic bacilli of ethano-botanical plant Ocimum tenuiflorum were screened for salt stress-alleviating traits in tomato. Four promising O. endophytes ( Bacillus safensis BTL5, haynesii GTR8, paralicheniformis GTR11, and altitudinis GTS16) used this study. Confocal scanning laser microscopic studies revealed the inter-genera colonization tomato plants, giving insights widening applicability potential to other crops. Furthermore, a pot trial under 150 mM NaCl concentration, inoculated...
A wide range of root-associated mutualistic microorganisms have been successfully applied and documented in the past for growth promotion, biofertilization, biofortification biotic abiotic stress amelioration major crops. These include nitrogen fixers, nutrient mobilizers, bio-remediators bio-control agents. The present study aimed to demonstrate impact salt-tolerant compatible microbial inoculants on plant growth; Zn yield wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) crops grown saline-sodic soil insight...
The present investigation was aimed at evaluating the impact of earthworm grazed and Trichoderma harzianum biofortified spent mushroom substrate (SMS) on natural antioxidant nutritional properties tomato. Results reveal that grazing bio-fortification led to significant improvement in physico-chemical fresh SMS its application increased accumulation antioxidants mineral content tomato as compared either T. or SMS. In particular, grazed, (EGTHB-SMS) found inhibit lipid peroxidation protein...
Salt stress hampers plant growth and development. It is now becoming one of the most important threats to agricultural productivity. Rhizosphere microorganisms play key roles in modulating cellular responses enable tolerant salt stress, but detailed mechanisms how this occurs need in-depth investigation. The present study elucidated that microbe-mediated restructuring leads ecological fitness adaptiveness maize ( Zea mays L.) grown saline–sodic soil. In study, effects seed biopriming with B....
Abstract This study quantifies the groundwater fluoride contamination and assesses associated health risks in fluoride-prone areas of city Taj Mahal, Agra, India. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) risk model Monte Carlo Simulations were employed for assessment. Result revealed that, among various rural urban Pachgain Kheda exhibited highest average concentration (5.20 mg/L), while Bagda showed lowest (0.33 mg/L). Similarly, K.K. Nagar recorded 4.38 mg/L, Dayalbagh had...
The present study was carried out in a pot experiment to examine the bioefficacy of three biocontrol agents, viz., Trichoderma viride, Bacillus subtilis, and Pseudomonas fluorescens, either alone or consortium, on plant growth promotion activation defense responses potato against early blight pathogen Alternaria solani. results demonstrate significant enhancement parameters plants bioprimed with triple-microbe consortium compared other treatments. In potato, disease incidence percentage...
The present investigation was carried out to isolate, identify, and characterize sulfur-oxidizing bacteria (SOB) from coal mines evaluate the efficient strains for their ability influence plant growth S uptake in pigeonpea. Thirteen bacterial isolates belonging Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (2), pavanii Rhizobium pusense (5), Bacillus velezensis Paenibacillus massiliensis (2) were obtained. Among these, seven that could reduce pH of thiosulfate broth further characterized sulfur oxidation,...
Increasing soil salinity depreciates the quantity of crop produce. Looking at tremendous potential plant-associated microorganisms in stress mitigation, it would be very useful exploring and deciphering salt-tolerant from halophytic plants their utilization cultivated plants. With this aim, present study, four were taken Rann Kutch, bacterial endophytes isolated different plant organs. These characterized by growth health promotion features. The molecular identification was done based on 16...
