Microbial weed control represents an innovative means to manage troublesome weeds and utilize the naturally occurring biological herbicides produced by soil microorganisms. These compounds kill or hinder the growth of weeds so that beneficial plant species can gain a competitive advantage. The vast diversity of microorganisms in our environment is largely untapped, and the potential discovery a...

background: edible films and coatings have potential benefits for food packaging, particularly meat products. these coatings prevent weight loss and texture changes during shelf life by reducing moisture loss in fresh and frozen meat products. in this study, effect of calcium alginate edible coating on microbial and chemical properties of refrigerated lamb meat over a period of  5 days was inve...

an isolated fusarium anthophilum (a. braun) wollenweber (isolate 16c) has been considered as a candidate for microbial control of barnyard grass [echinochloa crus-galli (l.) p. beauv]. the effects of nutrition on conidiation, germination rate and germ-tube elongation of conidia of the fungus were evaluated. conidia yield, conidial germination and conidial germ-tube elongation of the fungus grow...
