Recently, the demand for reinforced plastics from natural, sustainable, biodegradable, and environmentally friendly fibers has been rising worldwide. However, main shortcoming of natural is poor compatibility between reinforcing matrix. Hence, it necessary to form a strong attachment matrix obtain optimum performance. In this work, chemical treatments (acid pretreatment, alkali scouring) were employed on jute modify them. The mechanical properties, surface morphology, Fourier transform...
Xanthomonas oryzae pv. ( Xoo ) is the most infectious pathogen of rice, which causes bacterial leaf blight (BLB) disease. However, accumulation chemical or antibiotic resistance necessitate development its alternative control. In this study, we biologically synthesize three metal oxide nanoparticles (ZnO, MnO 2 , and MgO) using rhizophytic bacteria Paenibacillus polymyxa strain Sx3 as reducing agent. The biosynthesis was confirmed characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy, XRD, FTIR, EDS, SEM,...
Edible plant fruits are safe raw materials free of toxicants and rich in biomolecules for reducing metal ions stabilizing nanoparticles. Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) titanium dioxide (TiO2NPs) the most produced consumer nanomaterials have known antibacterial activities but rarely been used against phytopathogenic bacteria. Here, we synthesized ZnONPs TiO2NPs simply by mixing ZnO or TiO2 solution with a lemon fruit extract at room temperature showed their Dickeya dadantii, which causes...
Bacteria belonging to the genus Paenibacillus were frequently isolated from legume nodules. The nodule-inhabiting as a resource of biocontrol and plant growth-promoting endophytes has rarely been explored. This study explored ’ antifungal activities potentials against broad-spectrum important phytopathogenic fungi. We collected strains which nodules Robinia pseudoacacia , Dendrolobium triangulare Ormosia semicastrata Cicer arietinum Acacia crassicarpa or implexa belong P. peoriae kribbensis...
Kiwifruit worldwide suffers from the devastating diseases of bacterial canker caused by
The present study investigated the biological management of root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) in tomato plants using different strains Pseudomonas spp. experiment involved five treatments: a healthy control (T1), nematode-inoculated (T2), fluorescens strain A (T3), P. B (T4), and putida (T5). results demonstrated significant differences plant growth root gall formation across treatments. exhibited an average height 12 cm weight 11 g. Nematode inoculation slightly reduced growth,...
Polymyxin-producing bacteria within the Paenibacillus polymyxa complex have broad-spectrum activities against fungi and bacteria. Their antibacterial soft rot Dickeya Pectobacterium phytopathogens containing multiple polymyxin-resistant genes were not clear. Here, we selected nine strains P. having antagonistic phytopathogenic a D. dadantii strain causing stem root disease of sweet potato did assays on nutrient agar tuber slices. These showed clear in vitro vivo. The most effective ShX301...
Bayberry is an attractive, nutritious, and popular fruit in China. The plant fungal pathogen Pestalotiopsis versicolor XJ27 the causative agent of bayberry twig blight disease, which severely affects production. Traditional control techniques, such as chemical fungicides, are being used to this disease; however, these techniques cause environmental health hazards. In study, we screened sweet potato rhizospheric bacteria with biocontrol potentials against P. XJ27, pathogen. Ten isolates...
Increase in the concentration of atmospheric greenhouse gases significantly contributes to global warming, representing a substantial challenge for crop production. The study was conducted determine growth competition between rice (Oryza sativa) and barnyardgrass (Echinochloa oryzicola) under (i) different cropping patterns (ii) elevated air temperatures phytotrons field condition, at two plant densities (4 16 plants per pot). Rice were planted with varying (rice: mixture proportions);...
Abstract Graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene (rGO) nanoparticles were synthesized using 40 mL of lemon juice extract as a reducing agent. The characterized various analytical techniques, including UV–visible spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray Fourier transform infrared diffraction. results confirmed the successful synthesis GO rGO with varied sizes shapes. tested for their antimicrobial activity against range bacterial fungal strains, Escherichia coli,...
Nanomaterials are increasingly being used for crop growth, especially as a new paradigm plant disease management. Among the other nanomaterials, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) draw great deal of attention because their unique features and multiple usages. Rapid expansion in nanotechnology utilization AgNPs large range areas resulted substantial release these into soil water environment, causing concern safety ecosystems phytosanitary. In an attempt to find effective control measure sweet...
Beyond the nodule symbiosis process, some endophytic bacteria can convert atmospheric nitrogen to available form for their own and inhabiting host plants. These possess a nitrogenase enzyme complex involved in producing ammonia from dinitrogen. The reductase subunit of is governed by nifH gene being used as suitable marker. In present study, containing had been identified two sweet potato cultivars grown different locations. Both cultureindependent culture-dependent methods were identify...
Maize is one of the major cereal crops. Different high yielding as well hybrid varieties have been growing for higher maize production. Various fertilizers also used to increase yield. But yield target not achievable always and had detrimental effects on soil properties also. For sustainable production, we conducted a combined study reciprocal cross application plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). In this study, examine traits seeds cobs resulting from crossings between Purple Waxy...
The experiment was laid out in the completely randomized design (CRD) and mean values were ranked by Duncan’s New Multiple Range Test (DMRT). Three cucurbit hosts such as sweet gourd, bottle gourd bitter selected to conduct this research work. Host suitability measured following force feeding choice bioassays. Under laboratory condition, behavior food preference studied on three different host plants viz. gourd. Food consumption larva adult highest (19600 ±7.9mm2, 1944.33±89.51 mm2) followed...
