Ecuador is one of the major cocoa producers worldwide, but its productivity has lately been affected by diseases. Endophytic biocontrol agents have used to minimize pathogenic effects; however, compounds produced endophytes are minimally understood. This work presents chemical characterization Trichoderma species extracts that proved inhibition against pathogens. Solid-liquid extraction was performed as a partitioning method using medium with fungal mycelia reesei (C2A), sp. (C3A), harzianum...
Abstract Published studies have shown inconsistent effects of proteinaceous bait sprays against apple maggot flies, Rhagoletis pomonella (Walsh). Explanations inconsistency could involve the presence natural food such as bird droppings competing with for attraction flies. Under field, semi-field, or laboratory conditions, we found that: (1) aqueous solutions 10% (Nulure) were significantly more attractive than water to protein-denied but not protein-provided flies; (2) addition 2% toxicant...
ABSTRACT Trichoderma is a saprophytic, soil-borne fungus with worldwide distribution that has been extensively studied due to their capacity synthesize secondary metabolites antimicrobial activity, parasitize other fungi and directly interact plant roots, inducing resistance disease tolerance abiotic stresses. Fusarium wilt caused by the soil-inhabiting oxysporum considered one of most important diseases affect banana cultivars. Currently, more environmentally friendly alternatives control...
Ecuador is responsible for up to 70 % of the world's production fine flavor cocoa. Although fungal diseases have reduced cocoa production, eco–friendly alternatives been implemented control spread phytopathogens. This study aimed explore potential endophytic strains isolated from Nacional trees synthetize compounds with antimicrobial and surface active properties. It was determined that under in vitro conditions, seven (DS03, DS07, DS18, DS23, DS31, DS34 DS50) exhibited antifungal activity...
Trichoderma is a cosmopolitan fungus widely distributed around the world. The different uses of this beneficial are varied in several industries, like agriculture, textile, and paper, including pharmaceutical industry. genus has other mechanisms action, production enzymes secreted secondary metabolites used various industries. genomes species have been sequenced to identify for producing compounds. advancement multiple technologies allowed development transformation tools genetic improvement...
Hermetia illucens is an important species for waste management and the circular economy. The aim of this study was to analyze effects Trichoderma reesei C2A Pleurotus sp. as pretreatments brewer spent grain (BSG). BSG inoculated with fungal solution or distilled water (control). After seven days, used H. larvae cultivation. At end bioconversion process, parameters substrate reduction larval development were evaluated. Chemical properties BSG, frass also analyzed. With T. pretreatment,...
Ecuador is one of the leading producers fine aroma cocoa worldwide, involving around 100,000 producer families. On American continent, largest Brazil, with 18%, followed by and Colombia, it estimated that more than 20 million people depend directly on this crop. Moniliophthora roreri, causal agent frost pot rot, has been a cause great concern due to production losses caused, which in 2022 amounted 80% different cocoa-producing provinces worldwide 30% performance they are estimates. This...
System stability and effective power system management strongly depends on load characteristics, demand profiles response nature upon a diversity of contingencies. Power operations entails important considerations to maintain reliability security standards even during stressful maneuvers that could compromise voltage frequency steady state. The large PACALORI water transfer irrigation project represents special case subtransmission where traditional models do not reproduce real behavior....
The Trichoderma genus is well known as one of the most valuable biological control agents against several phytopathogens used in different plant species. Managing phytopathogenic fungi using through various associated antifungal mechanisms a sustainable and eco-friendly strategy that reduces harmful presence pathogens soil, roots aerial parts plants. However, biocontrol combined with chemical pesticides has evidenced further potential to reduce pathogen growth benefit development. A better...
In order to meet the world food demand, agricultural biotechnology techniques are oriented at productivity of crops in an efficient and sustainable manner. By linking society's demands with academia's resources, this document aims evaluate skills acquired by students field microbiology during generation basic introductory knowledge microorganisms. The methodology concerned: Biotechnology application Disciplinary Learning Outcomes evaluation. Results from biotechnological process evidenced...
