Grafting is a method of asexual plant propagation that joins plant parts for them to live together. So they will grow as one plant. Normally the method has been largely applied to propagate trees that will not root well as cuttings or whose own root systems are not strong enough or resistant to several soil-borne pathogens. Now the method is used for other crops, as vegetables, such as solanace...

Rhizoctonia solani is a soil- and seed-borne fungus belonging to class basidiomycete capable of living free as saprophyte in the soil. It divided into 14 anastomosis groups (AGs), which are incompatible with each other terms reproduction proliferation. has potential cause disease various annual perennial fruits, vegetables, industrial cereal crops. Plant diseases mostly controlled by cultural m...

Straw amendment can improve soil properties and is an effective strategy to control soil-borne diseases. However, gramineous straw application vegetable fields has rarely been studied. In this study, rice was added the field of Chinese cabbage for one or two years (repeated), plant growth, disease occurrence changes in chemical were measured. addition, bacterial community composition analyzed u...

Reliable information on soil status and crop health is crucial for detecting and mitigating disasters like pollution or minimizing impact from soil-borne diseases. While infestation with an aggressive soil pathogen can be detected via reflected light spectra, it is unknown to what extent hyperspectral reflectance could be used to detect overall changes in soil biodiversity. We tested the hypoth...

Abstract Background Plant disease administration is difficult due to the soil-borne nature of phytopathogens. Biological control plant a safe mode avoid problems related fungal diseases that affect crops productivity. Results Twenty-three Trichoderma isolates were isolated from soil, surrounding healthy tomato roots different regions in Egyptian Governorate Menoufia. Using dual culture method t...

properties, structure, mechanism of action and biosynthesis. During a relatively short period in the late 1940's and early fifties there was a flush of activity on the question of the role of antibiotics in nature. This interest stemmed in the main from investigators who were seeking to understand the mechanism of microbial antagonisms in soil and its relationship to soil-borne plant diseases. ...

Basal stem rot caused by a soil-borne fungus, Ganoderma boninense, is one of the most severe diseases in monoculture oil palm plantations. The effect mixed cropping with water yam on infection and inoculum potential boninense seedlings was assessed under pot experiment. Plant inoculation rubber woodblock (RWB)-colonized induced disease both cropped hosts (multiple host infection), but less root...

Background Malaria and helminths share the same geographical distribution in tropical Africa. Studies of the interaction of helminth and malaria co-infection in humans have been few and are mainly epidemiological, with little information on cellular immune responses. This study aimed to determine Cytokine profiles among patients co-infected with Plasmodium falciparum malaria and soil borne helm...

An experiment was performed with commercial and noncommercial Trichoderma harzianum strains to test whether they have any effect on the growth of tomato seedlings. The tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv. ‘Caruso’) seedlings were grown in a greenhouse and watered daily by hand. 18-day old seedlings were inoculated with Trichoderma harzianum strains Plantshield, T22, and T95 (10conidia plus...
