Tomato is subject to several diseases that affect both field- and greenhouse-grown crops. To select cost-effective potential biocontrol agents, we used laboratory throughput screening identify bacterial strains with versatile characteristics suitable for multipurpose uses. The natural diversity of tomato root-associated communities was bioprospected under a real-world environment represented by an intensive cultivation area characterized extraseasonal productions in the greenhouse....
Emerging and re-emerging plant diseases continue to present multifarious threats global food security. Considerable recent efforts are therefore being channeled towards understanding the nature of pathogen emergence, their spread evolution. Xanthomonas euvesicatoria pv. perforans (Xep ) , one causal agents bacterial spot tomato, rapidly emerged displaced other xanthomonads in many tomato production regions around world. In less than three decades, it has become a dominant xanthomonad systems...
Abstract Ripening is an irreversible phenomenon involving several physiological, biochemical and organoleptic changes that affect the nutritional value, colour, texture taste of fruit. Amongst physical non-destructive technologies, Delayed Luminescence (DL) has been reported able to provide valid information on functional status living biological systems, reflecting in quality parameters following occurrence certain metabolic processes. In this study, we followed up analysed variations...
In most wine-growing countries of the world interest for organic viticulture and eco-friendly grape production processes increased significantly in last decade. Organic is currently dependent on availability Cu S compounds, but their massive use over time has led to negative effects environment health. Consequently, purpose this study was evaluate effectiveness alternative sustainable treatments against powdery mildew, gray mold sour rot under field conditions Nero d'Avola Inzolia Sicilian...
