Papaya is susceptible to fungal deterioration and the use of essential oils (EOs) emerges as a promising alternative fungicides, which causes environmental human health problems. To evaluate antifungal activity their major constituents in controlling papaya pathogens, following vitro assessments were conducted: I) screening seven EOs regarding activity; II) determination minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) most EOs; III) analysis chemical composition effective oils; IV) evaluation...
We characterized the bacterial community in shoot and rhizosphere of healthy adult soybean plants grown two differentially managed soils. Then, these communities were transplanted to seeds assess their effect on seedling development. The inoculated seedlings assessed through 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing seedlings' growth was measured. diversity consortium inoculum prepared from higher than those shoot. However, application had no influence diversity. resulting with presented an enrichment...
Abstract In this study, a Bionectria sp. strain isolated from citrus rhizosphere was evaluated for its potential in inhibiting the growth of Rhizoctonia solani and Pythium aphanidermatum. It demonstrated that 6.21 inhibited P. aphanidermatum R. solani. dual cultures, however, antagonist only parasitised Regarding assay involving aphanidermatum, lack mycoparasitic ability demonstrated. Crude extract completely mycelial both fungi. appears main mechanism involved antagonism by is through...
The use of natural polymers is an alternative to derived from petroleum that may reduce industrial waste and contribute the environmental protection. Following same reasoning, biodegradability paper packaging already known for it being a product originated cellulosic materials (cellulosic fibers). aim this work was assess process degradation junction two different materials; biopolymer sheets paper. This proposes study chitosan film-coated Kraft emulsified added with palmitic acid, both in...
Although insecticides are essential for the effective pest management, development of sustainable formulations remains a challenge in modern agriculture. This work focuses on encapsulation thiamethoxam polymeric micelles, nanodelivery system. The nanomicelles, prepared by thin-film hydration method, presented 94.5 ± 10.26% efficiency, average size 85.14 2.23 nm, zeta potential −5.3 mV, and acceptable homogenous distribution. Water solubility nanomicelles showed an increase 41.7% relation...
Microbial biodiversity of an environment can contribute to plant growth and increase crop yield. Plant extracts from soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) were investigated on plants grown after inoculation with these extracts. Soil samples collected two important Brazilian soybean-growing regions produce the used in experiments. The produced material aboveground biomass rhizosphere cultivated a controlled greenhouse (phase 1). phase 1 applied sequential experiment 2). Phase 2 was conducted...
