Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSeed Treatment-Based Biocontrol of Tomato Damping off Using Plant Essential Oil and Green Silver NanoparticlesLaila Reklaoui, Zine El Abidine Bzazou Elouazzani, El Touhami Tayebi Ouazzani et al.The fungal pathogen Rhizoctonia solani is a major causal agent of damping-off in tomato plants, leading to severe yield losses worldwide. Conventional fungicides, while effective, raise concerns regarding environmental safety and human health, highlighting the urgent need for sustainable alternatives. In this study, we report for the first time the use of Origanum compactum essential oil to biosynthesize silver nanoparticles … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 2 · 2 Jun 2026 · 1,298 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsBiocontrol of Winter Wheat Root Rot by Rhizosphere Microorganisms in KazakhstanNurlan Kuldybayev, Amankeldy Sadanov, Aigerim Qairatova et al.Root rot remains one of the most significant diseases of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in Kazakhstan, resulting in substantial yield losses. This study aimed to isolate and identify rhizosphere microorganisms associated with winter wheat and evaluate their antagonistic activity against root rot pathogens in the Almaty region of Kazakhstan. In total, seven bacterial and fungal isolates, belonging to the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 2 · 25 Aug 2026 · 933 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Study on the Roles of Predators on Asian Corn Stem Borer, Ostrinia furnacalis Guenee (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)La Daha, Nur Amin, Tamrin AbdullahThe study aimed to investigate the role of predators in preying the larvae and pupae of corn stem borer, Ostrinia furnacalis Guenee (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) was conducted in the farmer corn field during 2011. Two plant hills each of which 6 meter away were prepared one of which unglued and the other one glued for ground and canopy predators. On each … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 23 Jan 2016 · 7,655 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsBiocontrol of Soil Fungi in Tomato with Microencapsulates Containing Bacillus subtilisMarcela Hernàndez-Suàrez, Francisco Daniel Hernàndez-Castillo, Gabriel Gallegos-Morales et al.Problem Statement: An option to reduce pollution by synthetic agro-chemical in root plant disease management is the use of antagonist rhizobacteria belonging to Bacillus genus, because their inhibitory properties, stimulation of plant growth and crop yield increase. Approach: This study was carried out in order to evaluate if Bacillus subtilis strains could play an antagonists role of plant pathogens and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 6 Jun 2011 · 8,925 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffect of Essential Oil from Citronella and Alfazema on Fennel Aphids Hyadaphis foeniculi Passerini (Hemiptera: Aphididae) and its Predator Cycloneda sanguinea L. (Coleoptera: Coccinelidae)Charles I. Abramson, Paulo A. Wanderley, Maria J.A. Wanderley et al.The essential oil of plants is used as an alternative to pesticides for the control of aphids. We study the effect of the essential oils of citronella and alfazema on aphid populations in the laboratory and in the field. We also investigate the effect of these oils on the behavior of the aphid’s principal predator the ladybug. The results show … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,392 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Organic Ameliorants on Grey Soil FertilityAsanbay Tagaev, Amandyk Kostakov, Sabir MakhmadzhanovThe study aimed to assess the effectiveness of organic-biological ameliorants for restoring the fertility of light grey soils in the Turkestan region of Kazakhstan, which are characterised by low humus content (0.8-1.1%) and high alkalinity (pH 7.9-8.3). The field experiment was conducted on an area of 2304 m2 using four treatment options: control (variant 1 only mineral fertilisers) and three … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 3 · 15 Sep 2026 · 693 accessesView PDFCite
