Recent studies have shown that introduced exotic plant species may be released from their native soilborne pathogens, but that they become exposed to increased soil pathogen activity in the new range when time since introduction increases. Other studies have shown that introduced exotic plant species become less dominant when time since introduction increases, and that plant abundance may be co...

Soilborne plant diseases are a major constraint to crop production worldwide. Effective and economical management of these is dependent on the ability accurately detect diagnose their signs and/or symptoms prior widespread development in crop. Sensor-based technologies promising tools for automated disease detection, but research still needed optimize validate methods detection specific disease...

Composts are widely used in horticulture as organic amendments to improve the properties of soils. have also been reported enhance disease suppressive potential soils and, therefore, could be a strategy for managing plant diseases. The aim this study was test ability amended with four different agro-industrial waste-based composts (chestnut peels and shells, spent coffee grounds, grape marc, ol...

In the course of conducting forensic analysis of human skeletal material, anthropologists are exposed to a number of biological and chemical hazards. This paper reviews the primary concerns in terms of infection or exposure. Handling of human tissue provides an avenue through which bloodborne pathogens may be transported. Scene recovery also includes a set of hazards through exposure to human, ...

The antifungal effect of twenty powdered spice plants and their extracts at concentrations of 2, 4, 8 and 1, 3, 6%, respectively was evaluated in relation to the radial mycelial growth of various soilborne fungi causing damping-off disease. The spice powder or extract were added to the culture medium PDA to obtain the proposed concentrations. Concentration of 8% of powdered spices and 6% of the...

Context Rotations in rainfed farming systems of southwest Australia have shifted towards intensified cropping and it is necessary to reassess soilborne pathogens plant parasitic nematodes within this context. Aims We tested the hypothesis that these recent changes rotations agronomy altered efficacy with which reduce incidence common root nematodes. Methods tracked pathogen DNA soil severity cr...

Grafting in brinjal is an alternative technology for chemical treatments to control soilborne pathogens with minimum impact on product quality and environment. The present study was carried out determine the graft compatibility of scions (Dhruva CO 2) five wild Solanum rootstocks their growth performance open field condition. cleft grafting method adopted this study. non-grafted plants were use...

Grafting has been increasingly used to overcome soilborne pathogens. The commercial rootstock hybrids AF-8253 (Sakata) and Fortaleza (Takii), as well Embrapa’s new hybrid, BRS Acará, were evaluated rootstocks for the bell pepper Margarita (Syngenta) Pampa (Clause) scions, under natural infestation of Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum, upon artificial inoculation with a) ten isolates, b) one Phytopht...

Habitat disturbance affects numerous ecosystem components and processes, but its effect on continuous soybean system is less available. Soybean was seeded following six preceding crops, including grain soybean (Glycine max L. Merill.), wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.), tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.), corn (Zea mays L.) and hemp (Cannabis Satia L.), on a Mollisol ...
