Biological Control Using Some Predators for Tomato Pests Under Greenhouse Conditions

Unconventional alternatives for control of tomato root rot caused by Rhizoctonia solani under greenhouse conditions

This study was done to assess the antifungal effect of some biocontrol agents effective microorganisms (EMs1), Pseudomonas fluorescens, and Bacillus pumilus, titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles, black cumin and wheat germ oils as well as the recommended fungicide (flutolanil) against root rot of tomato. Moreover, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) examination was completed to identi...

Drought Tolerance of Several Tomato Genotypes Under Greenhouse Conditions

Growth and production of agricultural crops are greatly affected by water shortage. Thus, yield enhancement under drought conditions is a major goal of plant breeding. Four commercial tomato cultivars (Imperial, Pakmore VF, Strain-B and Tnshet Star), a drought-tolerant breeding line (L 03306) and their hybrid combinations were selected in this study to evaluate drought tolerance and to develop ...

evaluation of some trichoderma isolates for biological control of potato wilt disease (fusarium oxysporum) under laboratory and greenhouse conditions

biological efficacy of trichoderma species may differ due to variations in ecosystems. this study was conducted to assess the biocontrol efficacy of some native trichoderma isolates against fusarium oxysporum, an important causal agent of potato wilt disease under laboratory and greenhouse conditions in shahrood agricultural research center, shahrood, iran during 2006-2007. fourteen isolates we...

Coverage and Invariance for the Biological Control of Pests in a Mediterranean Greenhouse

A major problem related to the treatment of ecosystems is that they have no available mathematical formalization. This implies that many of their properties are not presented as short, rigorous modalities, but rather as long expressions which, from a biological standpoint, totally capture the significance of the property, but which have the disadvantage of not being sufficiently manageable, fro...
