Recent research efforts were made to investigate botanical bactericides as an intervention tool for citrus canker. Five extracts (Eruca vesicaria, Eucalyptus globulus, Trigonella foenum-graecum, Nigella sativa, and Citrullus colocynthis) evaluated at three different concentrations (0.25%, 0.5%, 0.75%) against Xanthomonas citri pv. under in vitro conditions. Among all treatments, two effective plant extracts, alone combinations, assessed time points (7 days, 14 21 days) greenhouse In...
Cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.) belongs to Brassicaceae family is main vegetable grown for its edible head. susceptible different bacterial and fungal diseases among which Alternaria leaf spot caused by brassicicola potential extortion successful production of cabbage. The aim study was manage the disease using chemicals plant extracts in in-vitro in-vivo conditions. In lab experiment, five fungicides (Nanok, Canbinax, Score, Revus Defeater) (Neem, Aloevera, Moringa, Citrus...
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...
Mungbean yellow mosaic virus (MYMV) is an important constraint in successful production of mungbean ( Vigna radiata L.) many countries, including Pakistan. The MYMV spreads by insect vector whitefly Bemisia tabaci Gennadius). use resistant cultivars the most effective management tactics for MYMV. Twenty varieties/lines were screened against under field condition current study. Resistance levels assessed through visual scoring typical disease symptoms. Furthermore, impacts two insecticides...
Rhizoctonia solani is a soil-borne fungal pathogen that causes root rot diseases in various crops. The soybean crop also susceptible to this pathogen, resulting severe yield losses. Due its nature, controlling infestations with single treatment challenging. Therefore, the current study was designed evaluate synthetic chemicals and phytoextracts as an integrated approach manage caused by R. under laboratory greenhouse conditions. Diseased samples were collected from field area of University...
Mango (Mangifera indica) is an important fruit crop that belongs to the family Anacardiacae. It considered most delicious cultivated around tropical and sub-tropical regions of world. In Pakistan, mango ranked second in terms production after citrus. plays a vital role enriching economy country. However, its hampered by several biotic abiotic stresses. Fungal pathogens are major threat successful mangoes. Powdery mildew, caused fungus Pseudoidium anacardii (formerly Oidium mangifera), poses...
Soybean is a legume crop originating in China. Its nutritional value, characterized by high-quality protein and unsaturated fats, makes it an excellent cholesterol-free diet option. Brown leaf spot of soybean, caused Septoria glycine, one the most devastating diseases, resulting significant yield losses. This study aimed to evaluate effectiveness new chemical fungicides (Topsin-M, Recado, Evito, Polyram-DF, Curzate-M) at concentrations 50, 100, 150 ppm, phyto-extracts (neem, clove,...
This study investigated the biochemical changes in chilli plants resistant or susceptible to bacterial wilt, caused by Ralstonia solanacearum, following inoculation and treatment with copper hydroxide. Treated inoculated exhibited significant increases ionic contents, including phosphorus (3.25%), nitrogen (8.98%), micronutrients such as potassium, magnesium, zinc, calcium, copper. Enhanced parameters were observed, chlorophyll (80.78 µmol), peroxidase (2.22 µg/g), catalase (4.10 hydrogen...
Rose plants are affected by several diseases caused fungi, nematode, bacteria, viruses, and other pests. Among all of these, Curvularia lunata causes significant losses to Roses. Present study was focused on In-vitro In-vivo management the “Curvularia leaf spot Rose” using different fungicides phyto-extracts. Diseased samples were collected from floriculture area University Agriculture, Faisalabad for isolation pathogen. Five i.e., Cabrio-Top, Curzate-M, Aliette, Polyram-DF Recado @ (50ppm,...
Rice (Oryzae sativa L.) is suffering from several biotic and abiotic factors. Among factors, brown leaf spot of rice (BLS) potentially devastating disease causing the severe yield losses up to 100%. The current study was designed evaluate most effective synthetic fungicides management strategy towards BLS disease. For this purpose, 12 were screened out under in vitro conditions four further demonstrated against targeted pathogen with three different concentrations (100, 150 150ppm) by using...
IntroductionS pinach is one of the most important crops among all vegetables that belongs to family Chenopodiaceae.It well known due its taste and presence essential elements like magnesium, iron, calcium, manganese, folic acid Vitamins (A, B, C, E) (Tewani et al., 2016) Spinach play a crucial role in food medicine industries.It used as curing agent against constipation, dyspepsia, anemia, neuritis, obesity, bronchitis high blood pressure (Kumar 2013;Bassey Khan, 2015) crop susceptible...
M ango (Mangifera indica L.) is an agro- industrial fruit crop that belongs to the family Anacardiaceae and it believed be king of all fruits ranking 8 th position in terms productivity globally.The mango considered as most delicious grown around tropical sub-tropical regions world.It a main component diet countries world (Mukherjee Litz, 2009), important because its high nutritional medicinal value, good source vitamins such carotene, thiamine, riboflavin niacin (Archibald et al., 2003).It...
Bell pepper (Capsicum annuum) is prone to attack by a number of diseases, but Southern blight the most destructive disease caused Sclerotium rolfsii Sacc. For selection resistant source, ten varieties bell were screened out against southern in research area, Department Plant Pathology, University Agriculture, Faisalabad under Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). Results demonstrated that two (TSP-041 and Corral F1) exhibited resistance response, three (Freedom F1, Super Globe F1 SP-042)...
