Sustainability transitions in agriculture are explored through an analysis of niche initiatives within a common production system, relying on sustainable transitions, multi-level perspectives, and agroecological frameworks, involving multi-actor, agricultural knowledge, innovation systems (AKIS). The article focuses how experimental niches activities affect farmers’ relationships with nature, the reconceptualisation system which they operate, particularly where this is embedded less...
Soil-borne pathogenic fungi (SBPF) and root-knot nematodes (RKN) co-exist in the rhizosphere are major pathogens causing root diseases cucurbits. Current knowledge on soil-borne of cucurbit crops grown under protected cultivation, their host-pathogen interactions, mechanisms resistance has been reviewed. Plant is an effective sustainable method to control available resistant cultivars rootstocks key reported. The importance proper pathogen diagnosis right choice cultivar or rootstock...
Abstract The nematicidal efficiency of two types extracts (aqueous and methanolic) 5 plants Peganum harmala L., Raphanus raphanistrum L . , Taxus baccata Sinapis arvensis Ricinus communis L. on second stage juveniles (J2s) Meloidogyne incognita was evaluated at 4 doses in vitro (40, 50, 60 80%) exposure times (12, 16, 24, 32 h). In a greenhouse, methanol obtained from 0.75, 1.5, or 3 g the dry matter T. S. P. were added pots tomato (Moneymaker cultivar) to test effect nematode, its...
AbstractIt is important to know about the mechanisms that suppress plant diseases when compost from vegetable residues and/or their liquid extracts (compost tea) are used in order improve efficiency of this suppressing effect on pathogens. In study, we assessed presence siderophores various grape marc aerated teas (ACT) and nine pathogens: Rhizoctonia solani, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. radicis-lycopersici, lycopersici race 0, 1, radicis-cucumerinum, Verticillium dahliae, Pythium...
Species of Fusarium were isolated from water samples collected the Andarax River and coastal sea Mediterranean in Granada Almería provinces southeastern Spain. In total, 18 analyzed River, 10 species isolated: anthophilum, F. acuminatum, chlamydosporum, culmorum, equiseti, verticillioides, oxysporum, proliferatum, solani, sambucinum. addition, five 33 Sea: solani. When considering by their origins, 77.8% river yielded at least one Fusarium, with oxysporum comprising 72.2% total isolates....
In October of 2008, decayed garlic bulbs (Allium sativum L. cv. Blancomor de Vallelado) were received from a producer in Segovia, Spain. November 2009, similar symptoms observed on stored (cvs. Vallelado and Garcua) each 30 municipalities northwest Segovia Valladolid. A minimum one sample was collected 12 localities. Pieces symptomatic surface disinfested for 2 to 3 min 0.5% NaOCl transferred potato dextrose agar (PDA) Komada's media. Colonies had catenate microconidia curved macroconidia...
Intensive greenhouse horticulture can cause various environmental problems. Among these, the management, storage, and processing of crop residues provoke aquifer contamination, pest proliferation, bad odors, or abuse phytosanitary treatments. Biosolarization adds value to any fresh plant residue is an efficient technique for control soil-borne diseases. This study aims examine alternative means managing through biosolarization investigate influence organic matter on yield quality tomato...
Asparagus Decline Syndrome (ADS) is one of the main phytosanitary problems asparagus crop worldwide. Diseased plants and soil samples from 41 fields three production areas Spain were surveyed. Eight Fusarium species belonging to seven complexes identified in soils: F. oxysporum, proliferatum, redolens, solanisensu stricto, equiseti, culmorum, compactum acuminatum. oxysporum was most prevalent species. Statistical correlation (R2 = 88%) established between inoculum density average temperature...
Fusarium proliferatum has been reported on garlic in the Northwest USA, Spain and Serbia, causing water-soaked tan-colored lesions cloves. In this work, was isolated from 300 symptomatic bulbs. Morphological identification of confirmed using species-specific PCR assays EF-1α sequencing. Confirmation pathogenicity conducted with eighteen isolates. Six randomly selected F. isolates were tested for specific screened fusaric acid production. Additionally, each isolate healthy seedlings onion (...
Soil microbial communities are a crucial link between soil nutrient availability and plant productivity. They particularly depend on organic matter (SOM) content, which is considered one of the main components fertility. But agricultural intensification increase in use fertilisers mineral origin recent decades (to detriment incorporation materials soils) have resulted continuous loss quality fertility, greatest challenges to addressing global food security. Therefore, better understanding...
Soil mulching has advantages for horticultural crops, from both agronomic and phytosanitary points of view. The most common material used is polyethylene (PE); however, promising alternatives the circular economy exist, such as straw (ST) biodegradable biopolymers (BBs). effect three aforementioned mulches was evaluated compared to non-mulched soil in a Mediterranean greenhouse two years an organic tomato crop. Physical (moisture temperature) physicochemical properties soil, addition crop...
In March of 2013, new symptoms were observed in more than seven million nursery-grown sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum) plants El Ejido, Almería (southern Spain). Symptoms included wilting without yellowing leaves and stunting plants. Plant crowns exhibited necrosis that advanced through the main root along with slight rot. Xylem was not affected above or below crown. thought to be caused by well-known pathogen Phytophthora capsici. However, sporodochia Fusarium oxysporum on plant crowns....
Abstract BACKGROUND Asparagus decline syndrome (ADS), one of the most important diseases affecting asparagus crops, causes yield losses worldwide. Fusarium proliferatum , F. oxysporum and redolens are among main species associated with ADS. To explore their potential inoculum sources effectiveness soil disinfestation practices for ADS management, molecular methods based on a quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) were developed. qPCR‐based tools demonstrated advantages in...
