Fungi commonly known for diseases generating and fermentation agents, apart from this some fungi show biodegradation agents. Pesticides are used for controlling plant diseases but when spraying the pesticides only 40% goes at target and the rest in soil environment. So the soil be contaminated and as a result of this useful microflora are affected and soil fertility decline. So, some fungi test...

the present study was conducted to determine the plant growth-promoting activities of bradyrhizobium sp. (vigna) strain mrm6 grown in the presence and absence of the selected herbicides, quizalafop-p-ethyl and clodinafop. the herbicide tolerant bradyrhizobium sp. (vigna) strain mrm6 was further tested for bioremediation and plant growth promoting potential using greengram as a test crop, grown ...

in order to investigate the effect of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (pgpr) along with zinc (zn) and manganese (mn), foliar spraying on the morphological parameters of basil (ocimum basilicum l.) an experiment was conducted in factorial based on a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2011. treatments were the pgpr inoculation with azotobacter and azospirillum (azb+a...

Currently, world is dealing with the curse of pollution in agricultural fields due to rampant use chemical fertilizers and pesticides. These agrochemicals cause great harm human health when consumed food (e.g. cancer thyroid) also environment (reduce fertility soil etc) released out there. Hence, there an intense demand such biological agents microorganisms) which could partially or fully repla...

damping-off of seedling is a major disease of cotton in iran. disease may become epidemic in soil with low temperature and high moisture if seed treatment isn’t done. recently, trichoderma spp. are considered as one of the biological control methods of seedling damping-off. one proposed mechanism for biocontrol in trichoderma spp. is stimulation of host defense responses and induction of resist...

The rhizosphere is the area around the root of a plant occupied by a unique population of usefulbacteria known as plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). In this study, the isolation andidentification of rhizobacteria from orange (Citrus sinensis) orchards using 16S rRNA gene, as well asbiological and biochemical assays is reported. Analysis of 16S rRNA gene was confirmed bybiological and ...

Vegetable plants are more sensitive to salt stress during the early growth stages; hence, availability of poor-quality brackish water can be a big issue for nursery vegetable industry. Microbial biostimulants promote and vigor counterbalance in mature plants. This study aimed evaluate application plant growth-promoting microorganisms improving tolerance lettuce tomato seedlings irrigated with d...

ABSTRACT Good quality seeds of cotton cultivars often escaped pre-emergence damping-off incited by Pythium spp. and Rhizopus oryzae, and they were resistant to postemergence damping-off incited by Rhizoctonia solani. Poor quality seeds, however, were highly susceptible to both phases of seedling disease and required seed treatment in order to survive. Pre-emergence damping-off incited by Pythiu...

BACKGROUND Replant disease often occurs when certain crops are "replanted" in a soil that had previously supported the same or similar plant species. This disease typically leads to reductions in plant growth, crop yields, and production duration, and its etiology remains ill-defined. The objective of this study was to identify microorganisms associated with peach replant disease symptoms at a ...
