Plant bacterial diseases are routinely managed with scheduled treatments based on heavy metal compounds or antibiotics; to reduce the negative environmental impact due use of such chemical compounds, as pollution selection antibiotic resistant pathogens, integrated control management is required. In frame a sustainable agriculture antagonists, biological agents, plant defence response elicitors host genotypes most effective approaches. this work, cold atmospheric pressure plasma (CAP) was...
A vine decline of kiwifruit (A. deliciosa âHaywardâ) was observed in 2012 and 2013 about 600 ha the province Verona (Northern Italy). During last two years, a progressive took place during summers with high temperatures (over 35°C) requiring copious furrow irrigation, mild abundant rainfall winter spring that caused long periods soil waterlogging. The diseased plants died after gradual blight leaves. Rotting roots intermediate diameter distal rootlets were associated all cases decline....
European hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) is an emerging crop for export, mainly in southern Chile. Stem cankers and dieback of twigs on six-year-old cultivar Barcelona were observed during the 2012 growing season plantations Panguipulli (39° 38' 37.12″ S 72° 20' 10.87″ W), Region de Los Rios, The incidence has been variable according to place plantation; it was estimated at approximately 15%. Cankers characterized by brownish-gray brown reddish discoloration vascular stem system. Hazelnut...
Bacterial canker caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. (Pss) is responsible for substantial loss to the production of sweet cherry in Chile. To date, molecular mechanisms Pss–sweet interaction and disease-related genes plant are poorly understood. In order gain insight into these aspects, a transcriptomic analysis cultivar ‘Lapins’ differentially expressed (DEGs) response Pss inoculation was conducted. Three strains, A1M3, A1M197, 11116_b1, were inoculated young twigs, RNA extracted from tissue...
Shoot blight, twig and branch cankers with grayish discoloration, roughened tissue, dieback were observed in 5-year-old European hazelnut trees (Corylus avellana L.) cv. Barcelona at two commercial plantations the Allipén locality, Region de La Araucanía (38° 59′ 24.76″ S, 72° 29′ 35.58″ W), Chile, during 2011 to 2012 growing season. In addition, discoloration of wood was cross-sections. order isolate causal agent, entire twigs shoot fragments sterilized 0.5% sodium hypochlorite for 2...
Kiwifruit bleeding sap samples, collected in Italian and Chilean orchards from symptomatic asymptomatic plants, were evaluated for the presence of Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae, causal agent bacterial canker. The saps sampled during spring both hemispheres, before bud sprouting, optimal time window collection an adequate volume sample early detection pathogen, preliminarily by molecular assays, then through its direct isolation identification. results analyses showed more effectiveness...
This paper studies the substitution of air condensation by water in chiller a university building. building has surface about 30,000 m 2 , is located city Spanish north coast, and refrigeration needed for six months year. In this paper, novelty lies cooling system water, since typical tower not going to be considered; instead, domestic cold consumed would used cool condensing water. As consumption neither constant nor coincident with requirements chiller, use fire tank as heat storage was...
The limits of the severity flicker caused by voltage fluctuations is defined in Europe standard CENELEC EN 50160.

This threshold was originally established considering that a lamp with tungsten coiled coil filament 60 W and 230 V gas-filled produces perceivable 50% population when it supplied...
Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae is an important pathogen of kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa), and bacterial canker this host managed by monitoring chemical control strategies. The efficacy the bio-pesticides Amylo-X® (based on Bacillus amyloliquefaciens subsp. plantarum strain D747) Serenade Max® (strain QST713 B. subtilis) was evaluated in vitro vivo experiments. Both antagonists inhibited different biovars assays; more efficient than D747. two strains also colonized A. deliciosa flowers...
The European standard CENELEC EN 50160 establishes that the severity of flicker caused by voltage fluctuations, under normal operating conditions, will not exceed long term Pu = 1 during 95% time in one week. This threshold was originally established considering a lamp with tungsten coiled coil filament 60 W and 230 V is gas- filled produces perceivable 50% population when it supplied verifies 1. Other light sources like fluorescent lamps discharge ballasts exhibit different behavior same...
