The effectiveness of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria especially Pseudomonas fluorescens isolates were tested against charcoal rot of chickpea both in green house as well as in field conditions. Most of the isolates reduced charcoal rot disease and promoted plant growth in green house. A marked increase in shoot and root length was observed in P. fluorescens treated plants. Among all the P....

ABSTRACT Strain L324-92 is a novel Bacillus sp. with biological activity against three root diseases of wheat, namely take-all caused by Gaeumannomyces graminis var. tritici, Rhizoctonia root rot caused by Rhizoctonia solani AG8, and Pythium root rot caused mainly by Pythium irregulare and P. ultimum, that exhibits broad-spectrum inhibitory activity and grows at temperatures from 4 to 40 degree...

Abstract Background In India, severe yield and economic losses in sericulture were reported due to mulberry root rot disease. Since the disease was caused by complex soil-borne pathogens with wide host range, an attempt made develop actinobacteria based biological management strategy mitigate it. Results As a result of continuous screening for anti-fungal actinobacteria, 2 novel potent isolates...

VATCHEV, T. D., 2015. Fusarium root and stem rot of greenhouse cucumber: aerial distribution of inoculum. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 21: 650–654 Fusarium root and stem rot is one of the most damaging diseases of greenhouse cucumber. This study reveals development and spread of airborne inoculum of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. radicis-cucumerinum the causal agent of the disease. Infective propagules of ...

root rot is one of the important diseases of bean in zanjan province and two fungal pathogens, rhizoctonia solani and fusarium solani are the major causal agents of this disease in the region. in this research, the inhibitory effect of n-hexane, di-ethyl-ether, chloroform and ethanol extracts of five plant species, hermel (peganum harmala), thyme (thymus kotschyanus), yarrow (achillea wilhelmsi...

Root rot diseases remain a major global threat to the productivity of agricultural crops. They are usually caused by more than one type pathogen and thus often referred as root complex. Fungal oomycete species predominant participants in complex, while bacteria viruses also known cause rot. Incorporating genetic resistance cultivated crops is considered most efficient sustainable solution count...

A new strain, SD12, was isolated from tannery waste polluted soil and identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa on the basis of phenotypic traits and by comparison of 16S rRNA sequences. This bacterium exhibited broad-spectrum antagonistic activity against phytopathogenic fungi. The strain produced phosphatases, cellulases, proteases, pectinases, and HCN and also retained its ability to produce hydr...

Historically, root diseases have been a production-limiting problem for the strawberry industry worldwide. Even though this disease is of great economic importance, etiology remains unresolved. However, soilborne fungal pathogens, particularly Pythium and Rhizoctonia spp. implicated as major role players. Presence nematodes in soil favourable environmental conditions also play significant devel...

the root endophytic fungus, piriformospora indica, colonizes roots of a large number of plant species including cereals and brasicaceae. there are several reports indicating that p. indica protects roots from different path-ogens. in the present study, rice plants were pre-inoculated with p. indica and were subsequently infected with fusarium proliferatum, as the causal agent of root rot and cr...
