Citrus canker (CC), caused by one of the most destructive subfamilies bacterial phytopathogen Xanthomonas citri subsp. Citri (Xcc), poses a serious threat to significantly important citrus fruit crop grown worldwide. This has been subject ongoing epidemiological and disease management research. Currently, five different forms have identified CC, in which Canker A (Xanthomonas citri) being harmful infecting majority cultivars. Severe infection symptoms include leaf loss, premature drop,...
Ensuring global food security amid mounting challenges, such as population growth, disease infestations, resource limitations, and climate change, is a pressing concern. Anticipated increases in demand add further complexity to this critical issue. Plant pathogens, responsible for substantial crop losses (up 41%) major crops like wheat, rice, maize, soybean, potato, exacerbate the situation. Timely detection crucial, yet current practices often identify diseases at advanced stages, leading...
Abstract Background Water stress is a major danger to crop yield, hence new approaches strengthen plant resilience must be developed. To lessen the negative effects of water on wheat plants, present study was arranged investigate role synergistic biochar, trans-zeatin riboside (t-ZR), and Azospirillum brasilense soil improvement enzymatic activity in water-stressed wheat. Results In three-replication experiment comprising four treatments (T 0 : Control, T 1 Drought (DS), 2 DS + t-ZR with 3...
Water management techniques are improving at the farm level, but they not enough to deal with limited availability of water and increased crop yields. Soil microbes play a vital role in nitrogen fixation, soil fertility enhancing plant growth hormones under drought conditions. Therefore, this study was conducted investigate impact combined Azospirillum brasilense Rhizobium pisi on wheat productivity properties dry regions. Three were compared, normal irrigation as control (C), deficit (DI),...
Potato blackleg is caused by a diverse species of pectinolytic bacteria. In Pakistan, approximately 90% the pathogens involved belong to Pectobacterium atrosepticum. Survey (2014 2017), sampling, and isolation from different potato growing areas Punjab, Pakistan depicted an overall disease incidence 15%. Thirty-six strains confirmed through biochemical pathogenicity testing were characterized via gapA gene identify them at level. To further validate identification, one strain each SS26 (P....
Food production and waste recycling are the two major issues faced globally with rapidly increasing population. Recycling organic wastes to crop amendments could be a possible solution these issues. Earthworms transfer compost, which is used grow crops increase productivity. This study assessed impact of vermicompost produced from residues six desert plant species, i.e., (Ziziphus mauritiana, Aerva javanica, Calligonum comosum, Sacchrum benghalens, polygonoides Prosopis cineraria) combined...
Abstract Background Chromium (Cr) contamination in soil poses a serious hazard because it hinders plant growth, which eventually reduces crop yield and raises the possibility of food shortage. Cr’s harmful effects interfere with crucial functions like photosynthesis respiration, reducing energy output, causing oxidative stress, interfering nutrient intake. In this study, negative Cr on mung beans are examined, as well investigate effectiveness Azospirillum brasilense salicylic acid...
Green synthesis of nanoparticles has ushered in a new research field known as green or phytonanotechnology.Plant based nanotechnology emerged an imperative tool for the management plant diseases.In comparison to other conventional techniques, various was found be non-toxic, low-cost, and profitable, resulting more stable synthesized materials.Plant-extract methods synthesizing are far efficient cost-effective manage diseases.For citrus canker, silver copper were evaluated under lab...
Climatic conditions play a significant role in the development of citrus canker caused by Xanthomonas citri pv . ( Xcc ). Citrus is regarded as one major threats being faced industry growing countries world. factors exert impacts on growth stage, host susceptibility, succulence, vigor, survival, multiplication rate, pathogen dispersion, spore penetration and germination. Predicting climatic these traits could aid effective management strategies against disease. This study predicted...
Potato farming is a vital component of food security and the economic stability especially in under developing countries but it faces many challenges production, blackleg disease caused by Pectobacterium atrosepticum ( Pa ) one main reason for damaging crop yield potato. Effective management strategies are essential to control these losses get sustainable potato yield. This study was focused on characterizing investigating new chemical options its management. The research involved systematic...
Arsenic (As) toxicity is a serious hazard to agricultural land due growing industrialization, which has negative effect on wheat crop yields. To address this issue, using seaweed extract and Azospirillum brasilense emerged as an effective strategy for improving yield under stress conditions. However, the combined application of A. in crops As not been fully explored. The effectiveness combining reducing production was examined study through 2-year pot experiment with nine treatments. These...
The fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) are polyphagous insect pests. Different methods used to control this destructive pest including physical, chemical, genetic, and biological control. Biological comprises predators, parasitoids, pathogens. Now a day’s use of Entomopathogens is increasing very rapidly. Entomopathogenic fungi one the potential eco-friendly management alternatives conventional pesticides. most important include Beauveria bassiana Metarhizium anisopliae. These have specific...
Banana (Musa spp.) is one of the most widely grown and consumed fruits in Pakistan all around world due to their distinct aroma taste. In 2018, anthracnose symptoms were observed on banana fruit harvested from different plantations Sindh- a major producing Province Pakistan. Approximately, 25% collected infected. The consisted small brown reddish-brown spots surface then became sunken lesions as disease progressed. To identify pathogen, infected tissues (5 mm diameter) margin sterilized by...
Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) is a non-climacteric and favorite fruit of tropical, sub-tropical arid regions the world. During survey in autumn 2019, leaf lesions were observed on plants (cv. Kandhari) different orchards Muzaffargarh (30°4'27.7572″ N, 71°11'4.7544″ E), major pomegranate-producing region Punjab Province. Disease incidence ranged from 17 to 20%. Leaf initially small (1 3 mm diameter), round, purple or reddish-brown, scattered spots. At later stages, spots increased size...
