The experiment was conducted under in vitro and field conditions to observe the effect of bio-agents, botanical and fungicides against Alternaria triticina. Eight treatments were taken up with three replications and data collected was analyzed using CRD. Maximum inhibition per cent mycelia growth was observed in Propiconazole (89.72%), Hexaconazole (88.44%), Vitavax (87.70%), followed by Tricho...

Acinetobacter radioresistens strain SA188 is a plant endophytic bacterium, isolated from root nodules of the desert plants Indigofera spp., collected in Jizan, Saudi Arabia. Here, we report the 3.2-Mb draft genome sequence of strain SA188, highlighting characteristic pathways for plant growth-promoting activity and environmental adaptation.

The production of new generation of wood preservatives (without addition of a co-biocide) in combination with an exchange of wood poles on identical sites with high fungal inoculum, has resulted in an increase of premature failures of wood utility poles in the last decades. Wood destroying basidiomycetes inhabiting sites where poles have been installed, have developed resistance against wood pr...

Azotobacter spp. are known for their ability to fix nitrogen into the soil non-symbiotically. Their activities can be enhanced through provision of optimum cultural conditions. Hence, this study aimed isolate and optimize growth (medium condtions) with a focus on pH, sucrose indole acetic acid (IAA) concentrations. The counts obtained from rhizosphere crops ranged 4.0 × 104 – 1.0 106 CFU/g. thr...

Suppression of soilborne diseases by biocontrol agents involves complex interactions among biocontrol agents and the pathogen and between these microorganisms and the plant. In general, these interactions are not well characterized. In this work, we studied (i) the diversity among strains of fluorescent Pseudomonas spp., Bacillus spp., and Paenibacillus sp. for their sensitivity to fusaric acid...

The potato is a horticultural commodity with high economic value and consistent selling price. Indonesian production, however, remains lower than that of other Asian countries. One reason for this environmental sustainability has influenced the expansion cultivation on plateau, so medium plains have become an alternative. Aside from high-quality seeds, using plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria...

The intensive use of pesticides to control pests in agriculture has promoted several issues relating to environment. As chemical pesticides remain controversial, biocontrol agents originating from fungi could be an alternative. Among them, we highlight biocontrol agents derived from the fungi genus Trichoderma, which have been documented in limiting the growth of other phytopathogenic fungus in...
