Biocontrol agents isolated outside Africa have performed inconsistently under field conditions in Africa. The development of indigenous phytobeneficial microbial strains that suit local environments may help enhance competitiveness with in situ microorganisms and effectiveness at suppressing local pathogen strains. We isolated bacteria from the rhizosphere of maize growing in southwestern Niger...

This study was conducted to determine the effects of seed priming with ascorbic acid (AsA) on germination and seedling characteristics rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) under different salinity levels. To this end, examined five levels (0.20, 5.0, 10.0, 15.0, 20.0 dS m-1 NaCl) four doses (control, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 mM acid). Salt stress negatively affected some plant growth traits, such as radicle lengt...

Aims: The alleviating aspects of liquid vermicompost (VCL) on the seed germination and juvenile seedling growth Hungarian vetch, which is an important fodder plant in Turkey world, under salt stress were evaluated.Methods Results: Two experiments laboratory greenhouse conditions established according to a randomized plot design with three replications. In experiments, levels applied as control ...

Effect of Nutrient Source Type and Planting Media on Growth Yield Quality Microgreen Broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica Planck). The use types nutrient sources planting media is the most important thing in cultivation microgreen broccoli which functions to support growth development so as get good yields. purpose this study was obtain best source growing increasing yield. designed factori...

in order to study the response of coriander medicinal plant to salt stress, two experiments were conducted for germination and vegetative stages. this study was carried out as a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with three replications. the treatments were salinity at five concentrations including 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 mm nacl. response of coriander seeds germination in...

the inheritance of cold resistance was evaluated at the germination stage in crosses between seven rice genotypes as half diallel. analysis of variance indicated that there were highly significant differences among the genotypes, general combining ability (gca) and specific combining ability (sca) for percentage of reduction in radicle length (rl), percentage of reduction in plumule length (pl)...

Carbonyl sulfide (COS) is a potential new fumigant for stored products, patented worldwide by CSIRO Australia. It may replace methyl bromide for many applications on durable commodities and be used as an alternative to phosphine when there is a significant problem with insect resistance. Laboratory and field studies have shown that COS is effective on a wide range of pests at all life stages, a...
