abstract this research was invistigated activitiy of antagonistic activity of 200 soil actinomycete isolates assayed against phytophthora parasitica and p. citrophthora in kerman provice. among all actinomycetes, strains of 19 and 29 showed high level of activity in agar disk and well-diffusion methods. in both isolates, the active substance was water and metanol soluble but insoluble in chloro...

in this study, the effect of carbon and nitrogen sources, on production of yeast biomass was determined as well as the efficacy of various formulations of candida membranifaciens to decrease blue mold on apple. the media containing sugar cane molasses as carbon sources caused more yeast growth than the media supplemented with permeate powder. yeast extract as nitrogen source produced higher bio...

in the years 2012-14 a series of extensive surveys for natural enemies of parthenium were conducted in haryana. during survey, a leaf spot disease has been regularly reported on congress grass at different parts of the kurukshetra and its adjoining areas.the fungal pathogen was isolated from the affected parts of parthenium leaves and on the basis of cultural, morphological and molecular charac...

The present work was carried out to investigate first, the ecology of the Sepedon flies as well as speciesof Lymnea snails and secondly, the biological effects of Sepedon fly larvae living on Lymnea. In this regard,the life cycle, death rate and compatibility of Lymnea species, as well as the life cycle of Sepedon flies inbreeding cage and the activity of the new larvae in the same ecological c...

trichoderma species are among important antagonists of plant pathogenic fungi. the main purpose of this study was to evaluate the biocontrol potential of native trichoderma spp. isolates from sugar beet fields against phytophthora drechsleri and p. cryptogea, the causal agents of phytophthora root rot of sugar beet. during 2007–08, 85 isolates of trichoderma spp. from sugar beet fields in eight...

the cypress tree mealybug, planococcus vovae (nasonov) (hem., pseudococcidae) is one of the most important pests of cypress trees, especially cupressus semprevirens fastigiata l. in iran. a survey was carried out to determine the natural enemies of cypress tree mea-lybug in tehran province, during 2004-2005. as a result of this study, 17 species of preda-tors, parasitoids and hyperparasitoids b...

potential of three physically different formulations of biocontrol agent thrichoderma harzianum199 was investigated in a field trial against wheat common bunt caused by tilletia laevis kühn. wheat seeds of cv. chamran were treated with liquid, semi-solid (gel mixed suspension) and solid (talc powder) formulations prior to planting. field practices were performed based on khuzestan wheat plantin...

abstract in this study the effect of combination of trichoderma harzianum bi and salicylic acid were studied on root knot nematode (meloidogyne javanica) disease on tomato under green house conditions. the roots of tomato seedlings at six-leaf stage were inoculated with suspensions of fungal antagonist (106 conidia/ ml), 5mm salicylic acid and 2000 second-stage juvenile (j2). combined applicati...

abstract in order to evaluate the effect of beauveria bassiana fungus on overwintering larvae populations of rice stem borer( chilo suppressalis) was studied during 2007-2008 in rice reaserch institute, rasht. this study was carried out based on factorial experiment with rcbd in 4 replications with three factors as follow: (a1) concentration of 1× 108 conidia/ml. , concentration of 1× 106 conid...

the main purpose of this research is to determine the effective factors in adopting biological control in the farmer field school approach. the method used in this research is descriptive-correlation and comparative, which has been done by survey. the rice farmers of the township of babol, mazandaran, iran were selected as the sample population of this research. the statistical sample of the re...
