Principally, plants grown in soilless culture may be attacked by the same pests and diseases as cultivated traditionally in soil. The most destructive phytopathogens are fungi, such as Phythium, Phytophthora and Fusarium, followed by viruses, bacteria and nematodes. We investigated effect of carbon nanotube filters on disease management of soilless culture. Tomato seedlings transplant in plasti...

Damping-off caused by Pythium aphanidermatum, as one of the most infamous plant diseases, is considered a significant disease that causes severe damages in greenhouse and field crops vast range hosts especially vegetables. The application chemical fungicides common method to control this poses negative side effects on humans environmental components. Actinobacteria, members genus Streptomyces, ...

A study was undertaken to evaluate the impact of soil application spent mushroom substrate (SMS) and farm yard manure (FYM) enriched with T. harzianum on pre-emergency damping off (PED) post-emergence (POED) in chilli tomato seedlings nursery beds containing naturally infested Pythium aphanidermatum Rhizoctonia solani experimental field area Department Plant Pathology, CCSHAU Hisar during 2018-...

Crude aqueous and methanolic extracts of 97 plant species belonging to 35 families collected from the west of Iran were screened for antifungal activity against economically important phytopathogenic fungi, Pythium aphanidermatum. Bioassay of the extracts was conducted by paper disc diffusion method on agar plate cultures with four replications. Seventeen of 97 (17.5%) plant species showed inhi...

Chitosan was evaluated for its potential to induce antifungal hydrolases in susceptible turmeric plant (Curcuma longa L.). Under field conditions, the application of chitosan (crab shell) to turmeric plants by foliar spray method induces defense enzymes such as chitinases and chitosanases. Such an increase in enzyme activity was enhanced by spraying chitosan (0.1% w/v) on leaves of turmeric pla...
