This study is a unique report of the utilization Trichoderma strains collected from even tree barks for rice plant growth, its health management, and paddy straw degradation. Seven different spp. were characterized according to morphological molecular tools. Two isolated strains, namely hebeiensis erinaceum , outperformed other strains. Both controlled four important pathogens, i.e., Rhizoctonia solani (100%), Sclerotium oryzae (84.17%), rolfsii (66.67%), delphinii (76.25%). Seed bio-priming...
Salinity is one of the major constraints in rice production. To date, development salt-tolerant cultivar primarily focused on salt-exclusion strategies, which incur greater energy cost. The present study aimed to evaluate a balancing strategy ionic discrimination vis-à-vis tissue tolerance, could potentially minimize cost salt tolerance rice. Four genotypes, viz., FL478, IR29, Kamini, and AC847, were grown hydroponically subjected stress equivalent 12 dS m-1 at early vegetative stage....
Bacterial blight (BB), caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. (Xoo) is a major threat to rice production as it accounts for loss up 50% of annual grain yield. Xoo causes leaf tissue necrosis and result there downregulation the photosynthetic mechanisms plant. Measurement chl fluorescence an easy, fast, non-invasive highly sensitive technique that can be used understand plant health measuring alterations in PSII activity, response different biotic abiotic stresses. In present investigation, seeds...
In England, Cryphonectria parasitica was detected for the first time in 2011 a nursery and 2016 wider environment. Surveys between 2017 2020 identified disease at different sites Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Cornwall, Derbyshire, Devon, Dorset, London, West Sussex, island of Jersey, while present study comprises results 2020-2023 survey with findings Kent, Nottinghamshire, Herefordshire, Leicestershire, islands Jersey Guernsey. A total 226 suspected samples were collected from 72 surveyed...
Sweet chestnut, an Asiatic tree introduced in many parts of Europe including the United Kingdom, is planted for nut production, timber, and amenity. Its major threat disease called blight, caused by fungus Cryphonectria parasitica, which infects through wounds airborne spores. Field trapping using sticky rods rotating traps was performed infected area Devon (between May 2021 April 2023). An improved dual hydrolysis Taqman probes real-time PCR used. The number spores calculated comparing...
Cryphonectria hypovirus 1 (CHV1) is successful in controlling parasitica, the causal agent of chestnut blight, but little known regarding its transmission to other fungi, for example European radicalis. In this study, CHV1 was transmitted (circa 200,000–800,000 copies/microliter) seven C. radicalis isolates from infected parasitica. Reverse virus-free parasitica (European 74 testers collection) achieved, although it less (250–55,000 copies/µL) and dependent on vegetative compatibility (VC)...
Limnogonus nitidus (Mayr) is, for the first time, reported preying on rice brown planthopper. The total immature period ranges from 22 to 38 days. There are five nymphal instars. average longevity of bug is 38.1 adult consumes 5.6 nymphs and 7.9 adults planthopper per day under laboratory conditions.
