Phosphate-solubilizing microbes (PSM) are widely distributed in the rhizosphere and helps plant to acquire phosphates from soil. The availability of soil governed by several factors among which proton exchange capacity has been regarded be most important factor involved cation complex formations with soluble making them unavailable plants, thereby disturbing phosphorus cycling events found arable soils. PSM solubilizes complexes improves functioning cycle In addition involvement...
Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is economically the most important forage crop in Serbia. In July 2009, alfalfa plants showed symptoms characteristic of anthracnose disease ("shepherd's crook") including wilting and death upper portion stems. Anthracnose has been reported to be caused by Colletotrichum trifolii or C. destructivum (2). with were collected Srpska Crnja, South Banat District, Infected tissue samples surface disinfected 5% sodium hypochlorite for 2 min washed three times 5 sterile...
Visual assessment of phenotypes, performed when two strains one fungal species are cultivated in a mixed culture on specific media, is known as vegetative or heterokaryotic compatibility incompatibility test, which enables identification clones and their classification based phylogenetic groups. Hyphae that have identical alleles at all vic loci can anastomose into form visible heterokaryon. Strains divide compatible each other belong to subpopulation termed the group (VCG), genetically...
In autumn 2015, hazelnut plants with leaf blight symptoms were noticed in a commercial plantation the Province of Vojvodina, Serbia. Symptomatic samples collected and submitted to laboratory analysis. Based on morphological characterization, fungus isolated from material was initially identified as Pestalotiopsis sp. Pathogenicity tests showed that two selected isolates infected leaves fruits developed after artificial inoculation. The pathogen re-isolated diseased fruits, confirming Koch’s...
This research was conducted to detrmine the effect of seeed rates in mixtures Pea + Oat on green forage and silage proein fractions by Cornell Net Carbohydrate Protein System (CNCPS). Experiment established autumn 2012, October 20 th plant samples were taken spring 2013 at forming first pods 2/3 plants Institute for crops, Kruševac, R Serbia, using five different mixture crops (100% 0% Oat; 100% 25% 75% 50% Oat). Pea:Oat treated with bacterial inoculant ensiled anaerobic jars 45 days. Green...
Sensitivity of 24 isolates Colletotrichum destructivum O'Gara, collected from alfalfa plants in Serbia, to eight selected fungicides, was investigated this study. Molecular identification and pathogenicity test tested were also performed. Fungicide sensitivity evaluated vitro, using mycelial growth assay method. All exhibited significant pathogenicity, causing necrosis at the seedling root tips two days after inoculation. Using primer pair GSF1-SR1 by comparing amplified fragments with...
The objective of this study was to investigate the changes that take place in nutrient values red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) cv K-27 at different stages growth second and third cut. samples from growth: mid-bud stage, around 60% flowering full were investigated for crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid (ADF), digestible dry matter (DDM), intake (DMI), relative feed value (RFV), total nutrients (TDN), net energy-lactation (NEl), energy-maintenance (NEm) energy-gain (NEg)...
In the period from late May 2004 to 2010, grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) between 11 and 22 years old was observed for incidence of symptoms shortened shoots zigzag internodes, with tiny, chlorotic leaves, torn bended edges, necrosis along edges leaves dead internervous tissue. These are conspicuous especially when vine is in F phases development. Later, course vegetation, dying infected branches or covering by a new foliage mass perceived. Foliar initially confined one arm vines; however, as...
In the present study, frequency of toxigenic fungi and occurrence aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), deoxynivalenol (DON) total fumonisins (FBs) in kernels six maize hybrids from different FAO maturity groups (ZP 341, ZP 427, 434, 560, 606, 666) three localities (Belosavci, Ladjevci Divci) Serbia, during harvest 2013, was investigated. Using standard mycological tests kernels, presence potentially species genera Aspergillus, Fusarium Penicillium found. studied localities, verticillioides most frequently...
The experiment was carried out to evaluate the possibility of ensiling common vetch - oat mixtures sown at five different seeding rates. Two effects were studied: rate and in application bacterial inoculant. pH, DM (Dry Matter) content, ammonia nitrogen, soluble lactic, acetic butyric acids determined on silages. DLG method utilized for classification silage quality. Common grown binary experimental field Institute forage crops, Krusevac Serbia, tested mixture rates: pure vetch, 25% + 75%...
Colletotrichum trifolii is a fungal pathogen responsible for anthracnose disease in alfalfa. The isolates of C. were obtained from diseased alfalfa stems collected field Serbia. It was determined by pathogenicity examination that four (Luc-7, Luc-17, Luc-27, Luc-33) can cause stem lesions on inoculated plant. Our compared using reference (CBS 158.83). Isolates MA and CDA developed olive green to grey colonies with white margin, while the substrate got dark color. Conidiophores hyaline,...
The strength of honey bee colonies during year depends on wintering and biologic development spring period. To ensure satisfactory colony in period, it is necessary to add stimulative feed. aim this study determine the effect different types feed strength. Twenty were selected for experiment. Colonies divided into five groups, each group received first was fed with sugar syrup, second syrup added microelements vitamin complex. third candy without additives, fourth addition vitamins. fifth...
What often happens that weeds are not controlled after harvesting the cultivated crop. Thus, they continue to grow unhindered on agricultural land, becoming dangerous hosts for a large number of plant diseases and sources constant infection. So far, there have been no systematic studies mycopopulation weed seeds in Serbia. In this paper, we present results preliminary research. Weed samples were collected during summer autumn vegetation 2023. Isolation was performed using standard...
