Macrophomina phaseolina, the causal agent of charcoal rot in strawberry, induces plant wilting and collapse. The pathogen survives through production microsclerotia soil strawberry debris. However, its management is difficult, disease has become an increasing problem for industry. Physical, cultural, chemical alternatives integrated were evaluated laboratory field trials during 2017–18 2018–19 ...

In the present study, 12 bacterial endophytes (C1 to C12) were isolated from three different genotypes of maize seed (COH6). Seed are considered as pioneers plant microbiome and enhance defense response at an early stage crop growth later stages seedling development. The seed-associated exhibit antagonistic property against fungal pathogen (Fusarium oxysporum Macrophomina phaseolina) maize. Amo...
