Botrytis cinerea (Pers.: Fr), the causal agent of botrytis bunch rot, is an important disease grapevines worldwide, with canopy management and prophylactic use fungicides being most common control methods. The latter has resulted in fungicide resistance increasingly raising concerns regarding residues wine effects on human environmental health. Research-led alternatives to this practice are beginning emerge, including a range biotic abiotic treatments that induce vine B. inundative...
One form of commercial application microorganisms, including genetically engineered microorganisms is as an aerosol. To study the effect aerosol-induced stress on bacterial survival, nonrecombinant spontaneous antibiotic-resistant mutants four organisms, Enterobacter cloacae, Erwinia herbicola, Klebsiella planticola, and Pseudomonas syringae, were sprayed in separate experiments a greenhouse. Samples collected over distance 15 m from spray site for enumeration. Spores Bacillus subtilis used...
There is a dearth of information regarding the safety water in Namuwongo slum, despite claims cholera, diarrhea and typhoid fever outbreaks. The purpose this study was to ascertain danger that people might face from waterborne diseases as result contaminating sources. A sample 50 respondents questioned about procedures used for gathering, treating, storing water. In July2024, two distinct days were chosen collect samples duplicate using sterile glass bottles tap water, spring well. They...
Abstract When tropical forests are felled, subsequent land uses affect surface runoff, soil erosion, and compaction. In some cases, they can markedly change the hydrology of a region with disastrous effects on human life. The objective this paper is to investigate effect rainfall stream due conversion primary agriculture. Near water dynamics were compared for three steep hillsides in Talgua River Watershed Honduras: degraded grass‐covered field; traditional coffee plantation; forest....

ABSTRACT: A simple model was developed and applied to a dairy farm in the New York City (NYC) water supply watershed evaluate effectiveness of various manure spreading strategies for reducing non-point source, soluble phosphorus (SP) pollution. Phosphorus from manure-spread fields is recognized as one important source pollutants region there acute interest developing economically viable quality management practices. The NYC initiative, i.e. Watershed Agriculture Program (WAP), mandated that...
Experiments were conducted on olive plants in controlled environments to determine the effect of conidial concentration, leaf age, temperature, continuous and interrupted wetness periods, relative humidity (RH) during drier periods that wet spot (OLS) severity. As inoculum concentration increased from 1·0 × 10 2 2·5 5 conidia mL −1 , severity OLS at all five temperatures (5, 10, 15, 20 25°C). A simple polynomial model satisfactorily described relationship between upper asymptote (maximum...
The effect of fungal inoculum properties on colonization nonsterile soil by three isolates the white-rot fungus Trametes versicolor was investigated. Fungal were examined in separate experiments and composition, age inoculum, concentration inoculation method. composition study compared pine versus poplar sawdust as basic carrier with varying amounts corn grit, meal starch. studied ranged from 3 to 21 days. gradually increased 0 50% (v/v). assessing method mixing layering techniques. moisture...
The impact of conventional agrichemicals commonly used in New Zealand apple production on non-target, culturable phyllosphere microbial populations was studied the laboratory (agar, leaf, and seedling assays) field (apple orchard). Morphologically distinct bacteria (three), yeasts (five), filamentous microfungi (two) were as indicator species. agar assay showed that agrichemical toxicity to microorganisms dependent product type, rate, organism studied. While fungicides metiram captan stopped...
This study was conducted to improve the pentachlorophenol (PCP) bioremediation ability of white-rot fungi in highly contaminated field soils by manipulating bioaugmentation variables. These were dry weight percentage fungal inoculum addition (31-175 g kg(-1)), PCP concentration (100-2137 mg kg(-1) PCP), formulation, and time (1-7 wk). Five isolates used: New Zealand Trametes versicolor (L.: Fr.) HR131 sp. HR577; North American Phanerochaete chrysosporium Burds. (two isolates) sordida...
Tile drains are one of several best management practices whose purpose is to reduce the export ofcontaminants receiving waters. It conventionally assumed that contaminants effectively retained in soil priorto subsurface water entering drain. Two conditions may result significantly elevated contaminant loading tileeffluent: preferential flow through macropores, and steep slopes which increase drainage shallow, permeable soils on ahardpan. This article presents field monitoring data phosphorus...
Downy mildew caused by Peronospora sparsa has resulted in serious production losses boysenberry (Rubus hybrid), blackberry fruticosus), and rose (Rosa sp.)

Development of a model to predict downy risk would facilitate development implementation disease warning system for efficient fungicide spray application crops affected this disease. Because detailed observation data were not available, two-step approach was applied develop an...
