Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiological Control of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Causal Agent of Sunflower Head and Stem Rot Disease, by Use of Soil borne Actinomycetes IsolatesF. Baniasadi, G. H. Shahidi Bonjar, A. Baghizadeh et al.Problem statement: High level of biosafety and non adverse effects on the environment of biocontrol strategies of pest management, are priorities of tomorrow's world agriculture. Actinomycetes are active biocontrol agents due to their antagonistic properties against wide range of plant pathogens particularly fungi. Fungal pathogens are liable for a big part of damages in agriculture economy. Approach: In the present … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 11,166 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiological Control of Rice Blast (Magnaporthe oryzae) by use of Streptomyces sindeneusis isolate 263 in GreenhouseM. Ebrahimi Zarandi, G.H. Shahidi Bonjar, F. Padasht Dehkaei et al.Soil Actinomycetes particularly Streptomyces spp. have antagonistic activity against wide range of plant pathogens. In the recent decades they have attracted high interests as biocontrol agents. In search for finding such principles, in vitro suppression of Magnaporthe oryzae the causal agent of rice blast disease was studied by use of Streptomyces sindeneusis isolate 263 in greenhouse. Spray of rice seedling-leaves … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 11,492 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordSeed 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 PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordPlant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR): A Novel Agent for Sustainable Food ProductionOdoh Chuks Kenneth, Eze Chibuzor Nwadibe, Akpi Uchenna Kalu, Unah Victor UnahPlant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) involves the use of large array of soil bacteria to improve yield, plant growth and sustainable food production. As free living and symbiotic rhizobacteria, PGPR exert its role by colonizing extracellular and/or intracellular rhizoenvironment in the quest for carbon source. In the past decades, focus has been on developing a biosafety agro base approach void … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 19 Apr 2018 · 14,183 accessesView PDF Cite
