The production of aerial conidia of Lecanicillium lecanii 41185, a highly virulent fungus, by solid-state fermentation was studied for use as a biocontrol agent against aphids. Among several agro-industrial solid media, steamed polished rice was found to produce the highest amount of aerial conidia. The optimal conditions for aerial conidia production were determined to be a 28.5% moisture cont...

Streptomyces spp. produce a range of secondary metabolites that can inhibit phytopathogen growth. This study aimed to optimise the environmental and nutritional parameters for improving production antifungal components by sp. HU2014 through statistical approaches. Spectrophotometry bioassay revealed two fractions, F6 F8, from cell-free filtrates culture broth were rich in compounds. Subsequentl...

This research presents, for the first time, a study of seed germination two varieties, ‘Anacyclus pyrethrum var. (L.) Link’ and depressus (Ball.) Maire’, an endemic endangered medicinal species listed in IUCN red list as Anacyclus Link. Our objective was to provide information their protection well sustainable development strategy, by understanding whether seeds germinate easily or have very sp...

Highbush blueberries need sufficient chilling exposure to induce bud break and flowering, which limits their cultivation in warm areas as well the profitability of protected greenhouses. Hydrogen cyanamide (H2CN2, HC), gibberellic acid (GA3), ethephon (CE), mineral oil (MO), potassium nitrate (KNO3) are often applied deciduous fruit trees advance set. In this study, experiments were conducted n...

There is an increase in demand for high-quality rock melon the local market. Supplementing salt with a nutrient solution viable approach that can be implemented to improve fruit quality. Therefore, this study aims determine best treatment utilized quality without reducing growth, yield, and physiological process. The conducted by grafting (DAG) melon/bottle gourd at 18 days four sources of sali...
