The interaction of microbial colonisation with leaf litter breakdown by the shredder Gammarus roeselii was studied in the littoral of large Lake Constance. In a first step we studied selective feeding of gammarids on leaf litter from three different treatments. Littoral exposed, tap water exposed, and autoclaved leaves were offered to G. roeselii in standard food-choice assays under laboratory ...

ABSTRACT Soil fumigation with methyl bromide plus chloropicrin is used as a preplant treatment to control a broad range of pathogens in high-value annual crop production systems. In California, fumigation is used on approximately 10,125 ha of strawberry production to control pathogens ranging from Verticillium dahliae to root pruning pathogens such as Pythium, Rhizoctonia, or Cylindrocarpon spp...

The aim of this research was to study the effect inoculation with Cylindrocarpon magnusianum endotrophic micromycete on physiological and biochemical parameters tomato test plants under action heavy metal salts. were inoculated fungus culture (control population) populations preliminarily adapted stress factor. Then, grown control conditions substrates different concentrations salts (zinc, copp...
