Background: This study focused on managing Bactrocera zonata, an invasive Tephritid fruit fly that attacks a variety of fruits, by applying cuticle degrading enzymes (CDE) extracted from Beauveria bassiana, phytopathogenic agent for the biological control insect pests, as confirmed SDS-PAGE analysis. Methodology: Proteases, lipases, and chitinases were among cuticle-degrading with varying molecular weights 19–47 kDa, 32 49.47 respectively. The crude employed at doses 1.5, 3, 5, 7, 10µL...
Sugarcane is a major cash crop in Pakistan. It has great contribution world’s economy. Many diseases cause many losses yield of sugarcane. Fungi are considered as abundant traitorous pathogens that obstruct the viable growth sugarcane crop. Wilt disease caused by fungal pathogen Fusarium sacchari production causative fungus wilt Biocontrol agent Trichoderma spp. used management wilt. These bio‐agents help and play important role increasing yield. For this reason, these for biological...
Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) is a tremendous threat to vegetables across the globe, including in Pakistan. The present work was conducted investigate genetic variability of CMV isolates infecting pea and spinach Pothwar region Serological-based surveys during 2016-2017 revealed 31.70% overall disease incidence from crops. Triple-antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (TAS-ELISA) that all positive belong subgroup II. Two selected cDNA ELISA-positive samples representing each crops...
Cucurbits are important vegetable crops of Pakistan which severely affected by various diseases. Keeping in view the importance viral diseases, present study was aimed to conduct systematic surveys tunnel and open field cucurbit Punjab, during 2019 2020. The cucurbits leaf samples with virus virus-like symptoms were collected from farmers fields tunnels no prior knowledge about sanitation subjected reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for poleroviruses incidence. mean...
Plant-derived insecticides have been focused for biorational pest management because these are relatively quickly biodegradable, cost-effective, less persistent and exhibit low mammalian toxicity than synthetic pesticides.This study assessed the potential of seven local plant species (i.e.parthenium Parthenium hysterophorus L., eucalyptus Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh., milkweed Calotropis gigantean (L.) Dryand., bakain Melia azedarach neem Azadirachta indica A. Juss., tobacco Nicotiana...
Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV) is one of the most destructive cucurbits and found throughout growing areas Pothowar region Pakistan.Overall 300 samples were randomly collected from 40 cucumber fields all over pothowar during two consecutive years (2015-16 2016-17).All screened by Double Antibody Sandwich-Enzyme Linked Immunosorbant Assay (DAS-ELISA).Relative incidence ZYMV recorded in was 60.6% 66% respectively.The highest disease 77% 2015-16 Chakwal while 2016-17 71% Rawalpindi.No...
Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) is one of the most important plant viruses and a major threat to wide range hosts. Prevalence CMV in Pakistan alarming for vegetable production especially cucurbits. The present study was done estimate prevalence, distribution as well coat protein base identification this notorious virus. During 2015-16 incidence recorded cucumber field Pothwar region (Rawalpindi, Attock, Jhelum, Chakwal, Islamabad). survey 150 samples were collected tested through DASELISA...
Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV), a well-known Tobamovirus, infects cucurbits across the globe. To determine its current status, molecular characterization, genetic recombination, gene flow and selection pressure, 10 districts from Punjab province of Pakistan were surveyed total 2561 samples collected during 2019-2020. These subjected to virus-specific double antibody sandwich-enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (DAS-ELISA) for detection CGMMV. The results revealed that viral disease...
Potato crop production is hampered by several fungal, viral, and bacterial diseases. Among the viral leaf roll virus (PLRV), Y (PVY), Potato-mop-top-virus (PMTV), S (PVS) X (PVX) are most important. growing fields were surveyed during 2016 2017 to determine incidence of two aphid-borne viruses, PVY PLRV explore dynamics potato aphids in four potato-producing district Azad Jammu & Kashmir (AJK), Pakistan. During survey 930 samples collected from various locations Bagh, Sudhnoti, Poonch...
