One of the primary crops grown in Republic Uzbekistan is cotton. Root rot and gommosis, two cotton sprout diseases, seriously harm cultivation. Some illnesses were shown to have significantly increased some years. Cotton seeds coated with fungicides are sowed Uzbekistan. Yet, outbreaks root blight frequently seen under production-related circumstances. The gums that protrude from surface plant'...

Recent research has demonstrated an important interaction between Thielaviopsis basicola, the cause of black root rot, and the root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita (Walker et al., 1998; 1999; 2000). This interaction causes dramatic reductions in early-season growth in producers’ fields and yield reductions of 21 to 44% have been documented in microplot and field research. The interaction i...

Metallic silver nanoparticles have been reduced from silver nitrate by employing the extracellular enzymatic machinery of edible White button Mushroom (Agaricus bisporus). The physical properties of these particles, size and shapes have been determined using techniques like TEM, FTIR and XRD and were reported in our earlier report. But, what stands of paramount importance in the presen...

The aim of this study was to analyze the occurrence of butt rot damage to Norway spruce in different parts of southern Finland and to quantify the associated loss of quality. The data used in the study are from the 9th National Forest Inventory and consist of 5998 sample plots and 8007 spruce sample trees of saw-timber size. To predict the probability of damage to stands and trees, logistic reg...

Rhizo-bacteria of high biocontrol potential against different Fusarium isolates were bio-assayed under both laboratory and greenhouse conditions. Eighty five rhizo-bacteria isolated from the rhizosphere of plants growing in various desert areas were screened for their antagonistic activity against eight Fusarium isolates (four isolates of Fusarium solani and four isolates of Fusarium oxysporum)...

Phytophthora nicotianae is a common and destructive pathogen of numerous ornamental, agronomic and horticultural crops such as tomato, tobacco and citrus. Three monobranched C13 alcohol alkoxylate non-ionic surfactants were evaluated for in vitro inhibitory activity against the different asexual structures of P. nicotianae. The same surfactants, labelled MBA1301, MBA1303 and MBA1306, were teste...

OBJECTIVE With a microcomputed tomography (microCT) imaging device, we aimed to quantitatively evaluate root canal fillings after commonly used endodontic procedures and also tested the suitability of microCT for this purpose. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eighty single roots were instrumented and obturated with gutta-percha and Tubli-Seal. They were divided into 4 groups of 20. The Hand groups were ...

The common dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most widely grown food legume in Uganda, however, its production in western Uganda has been threatened by the bean root rot diseases. Resistant varieties and integrated soil and crop management package for the bean root rot disease, developed by the National Beans Research Programme, were promoted from 2003 to 2007 in Bushenyi and Kisoro Distri...
