Canola (Brassica napus L.) is the third largest crop produced in Australia after wheat and barley. For such crops, variability of water access, reduced long-term annual rainfall increasing prices, higher overall production costs, quantity quality are driving exploration new tools to maintain an economical environmentally sustainable way. Microorganisms associated with rhizosphere have been shown enhance plant growth offer a potential way or even increase yield Here, seven bacterial isolates...
Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) inhabit the rhizosphere of plants and are capable enhancing plant growth through a number mechanisms. A strain Pseudomonas fluorescens DUS1-27 was identified as potential PGPB candidate based on its ability to increase Brassica napus L. (canola) over that uninoculated control in soil-based system. The same P. isolate found reduce hydroponic system, with showing symptoms microbe-associated molecular pattern (MAMP) response bacteria. amperometric...
Glyphosate-based foliar spray herbicides are the most common method for urban weed control due to their broad-spectrum and efficacy burndown applications. As interest in glyphosate alternatives has increased recent years, this project assessed of following non-glyphosate-based alternative management strategies: glufosinate, imazapyr, MCPA + dicamba, prodiamine, pine oil, clove nonanoic acid, acetic acid hydrochloric steam against untreated (negative) controls glyphosate-treated sites. Across...
