Benzoxazolin-2(3H)-one (BOA) is a well known allelochemical that is being explored for its herbicidal activity. However, not much is known about its effect on crop plants. The present study investigated the effect of BOA on germination and early growth of four vegetable crops viz. Pisum sativum L., Raphanus sativus L., Brassica oleracea L. var. botrytis and Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata. A...

in this research, the ability of bacillus strains in suppression of mycelial growth and conidial germination of b. cinerea against botrytis fruit rot of strawberry were evaluated in three cultivars of strawberry including quineliza, paros and kurdistan. results indicated that among 32 strains of bacillus, ten strains showed strong inhibitory effects against b. cinerea using the plate assay and ...

A novel strain of lactic acid bacteria, WiKim39T, was isolated from a scallion kimchi sample consisting of fermented chili peppers and vegetables. The isolate was a Gram-positive, rod-shaped, non-motile, catalase-negative and facultatively anaerobic lactic acid bacterium. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that strain WiKim39T belonged to the genus Lactobacillus, and sha...

Particles of fungicide encapsulated in lecithin and β-glucans were obtained in order to improve the action of the product against Botrytis cinerea. For this purpose, supercritical drying processes such as PGSS and SAS were performed and compared to conventional spray-drying. It was concluded that SAS is not a suitable process for these products. However, particles were well dried by any of the ...

Early detection of economically important plant diseases, such as grey mould caused by Botrytis cinerea, is major importance for the timely application disease management strategies and reduction impacts on crop production environment. In this study, artificial inoculation leaves cucumber plants with B. cinerea under controlled environment was performed. Multi-spectral imaging used to capture f...
