EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractProtecting crop species from biotic and abiotic constraints in the era of Global Change: are we ready for this challenge?Marco Landi, Giovanni BenelliReliable and affordable supply of food is of crucial importance to the progress and stability of human societies. During the last century, we have assisted to an extraordinary increase of crop yields, especially for the most widespread and consumed crop species, such as rice, wheat, corn and soybean. The Broadbalk experiment, one of the oldest continuous agronomic experiments in the … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 4 Jun 2016 · 8,402 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Endophytic Treatments on Plant Growth Performance and Disease Incidences in Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merril) Cultivar JS-335 against Challenge Inoculation with R. solaniJitendra Dalal, Nikhilesh KulkarniEndophytes could be efficient biological control agent in sustainable crop production and offer unique opportunity for crop protection and biological control. Present study was carried out to investigate the effects of indigenous endophytic microorganisms Pseudomonas sp., Bacillus sp., Burkholderia sp. Streptomyces sp., Actinoplanes sp., Alternaria sp. and Fusarium sp. on plant growth and disease control against challenge inoculation with Rhizoctonia … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 13 Jul 2015 · 7,673 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpatial Pattern of Natural Spread of Rice False Smut (Ustilaginoidea virens) Disease in FieldsBodrun Nessa, Moin U. Salam, A.H.M. Mahfuzul Haque et al.Pattern of disease spread provides improved knowledge on how the pathogen introduces itself and interacts with environment in fields and expresses as a disease. It is especially significant when epidemiology of a disease, such as Rice False Smut (RFSm), is unclearly understood. Not reported before, this study attempted an analysis of spatial pattern of natural spread of RFSm in nine … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 2 Jun 2015 · 8,648 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVariability and Genetic Structure in a Commercial Field of Tequila Plants, Agave tequilana Weber (Agavaceae)Martha Isabel Torres-Moran, Ana Paulina Velasco-Ramirez, Salvador Antonio Hurtado-de la Pena et al.Crops of the tequila plant (Agave tequilana) are produced mainly from offshoots of mother plants in established commercial fields. This propagation method is significant, as it is believed that it facilitates the spread of disease because of the crop’s low genetic variability and is also necessary because it is regulate the use of just that variety in tequila industry. Different … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 22 Feb 2013 · 8,096 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiocontrol 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 · 8,934 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Efficiency of Trichoderma harzianum and Aneurinobacillus migulanus in the Control of Gladiolus Corm Rot in Soil-Less Culture SystemNosir Walid, McDonald Jim, Woodward SteveProblem statement: Gladiolus is cultivated commonly for cut flower production, frequently as a protected crop. The glasshouse or polytunnel environment, providing excellent conditions for flower production, also make conditions more favorable for disease to develop. Approach: The pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. gladioli causes wilt diseases in a wide range of economically important plants and can have devastating effects on … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 13 Dec 2010 · 9,039 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Municipal Solid Waste Compost on the Growth and Production of Vegetable CropsA.E. Ghaly, F.N. AlkoaikProblem statement: MSW has traditionally been dealt with thorough the practice of land filling and incineration. However, deleterious environmental impacts have promoted municipalities in Canada to recycle non-putrescible wastes and compost the putrescible ones. This study aimed at evaluating the effect of MSW compost on the growth and production of three vegetable crops (potatoes, corn and squash). Approach: Each crop … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,799 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRelationship between Rice Yield and Apparent Electrical Conductivity of Paddy SoilsM.H. Ezrin, M.S.M. Amin, A.R. Anuar, W. AimrunProblem statement: Understanding the relationships between rice yield and soil properties such as bulk electrical conductivity is of critical importance in precision farming. The apparent Electrical Conductivity of soil (ECa) is influenced by a combination of physico-chemical properties including soluble salts, clay content and mineralogy, soil water content, bulk density, organic matter and soil temperature. Accordingly, ECa is considered as … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2010 · 8,549 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMorphological Characteristics and Pathogenicity of Synchytrium psophocarpi (Rac.) Baumann Associated With False Rust on Winged BeanAbdollah Karami, Zainal Abidin Mior Ahmad, Kamaruzaman SijamProblem statement: Winged bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus L.) is an important tropical legume in countries like Malaysia due to its potential as a high protein value crop. However, bright-orange pustules observed on the veins of young leaves, stems, pods and sepals depict symptoms of false rust disease on beans. The causal agent of this disease has been found to be Synchytrium … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2009 · 9,581 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe First Report of the Occurrence of Anthracnose Disease Caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (Penz.) Penz. & Sacc. on Dragon Fruit (Hylocereus spp.) in Peninsular MalaysiaMasanto Masyahit, Kamaruzaman Sijam, Yahya Awang, Mohd Ghazali Mohd SatarProblem statement: The increasing of dragon fruit (Hylocereus spp.) plantations in Malaysia enhances the researches on this crop, particularly focusing on its physico-chemical characteristics, great potential health benefits and nutritional value.
