Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMULTI-TRAITS OF NON-PATHOGENIC FLUORESCENT PSEUDOMONAS AND EVALUATION OF THEIR POTENTIEL AS BIOCONTROL AGENTSMehri Inès, Turki Yousra, Ben Rajeb Asma et al.In recent years, certain strains of fluorescent pseudomonads called PGPB have drawn attention due to their abilities to promote plant growth. Therefore, in this investigation, we have explored the adhesive properties, the phytostimulator effects and the biocontrol activities of 40 isolates, with the aim to select potential inoculants to improve crop yields. Ten different colony morphotypes were detected on CRA … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 16 Apr 2014 · 7,236 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleBiocontrol 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 accessEvery word in the titleScreening of Pseudomonas sp. Isolated from Rhizosphere of Soybean Plant as Plant Growth Promoter and Biocontrol AgentAris Tri Wahyudi, Rika Indri Astuti, GiyantoAbstract: Problem statement: Pseudomonas spesies are one of the rihizobacterial group that have an important role in plant growth promoter and plant health. To prepare them as inoculants, they must have a range of characters as growth promoter such as Indole Acetic Acid (IAA) producers which can promote the growth of plants and solubilize phosphates. In addition, they must also … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 10 Mar 2011 · 9,882 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleChitinolytic Bacteria Isolated from Chili Rhizosphere: Chitinase Characterization and Its Application as Biocontrol for Whitefly (Bemisia tabaci Genn.)Nisa Rachmania Mubarik, Irni Mahagiani, Amaryllis Anindyaputri et al.Problem statement: Chitin, a common constituent of insect exoskeleton, could be hydrolyzed by chitinase. The research was conducted to screen chitinolytic rhizobacteria isolated from rhizosphere of chilli pepper and to determine their chitinase activity in degrading chitin of whitefly, Bemisia tabaci Genn. (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae). Whitefly is recognized as an important pest on many crops including chilli pepper. Approach: Screening and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 11 Nov 2010 · 18,538 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePromising Biocontrol Agents Against the Main Pathogens of Apple Fruit RotElvira Ismailova, Nurlan Kuldybayev, Gul Baimakhanova et al.Current study looked into how well microorganisms, both those already known and newly found, from the surface of plants in gardens in southern and southeastern Kazakhstan could fight against other harmful microbes. We evaluated the effectiveness of 16 strains of lactic acid bacteria, 11 strains from the Bacillus and Pseudomonas genera, and 7 strains of Trichoderma fungi (all sourced from … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 2 · 25 Aug 2026 · 864 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleIdentification of Volatile Metabolites from Fungal Endophytes with Biocontrol Potential towards Fusarium oxysporum F. sp. cubense Race 4A.S.Y. Ting, S.W. Mah, C.S. TeeProblem statement: Fungal endophytes are widely studied for their potential as biocontrol agents towards fungal pathogens. In vitro assessments usually reveal their antibiosis and mycoparasitism nature, but little is understood regarding their production of volatile metabolites as mechanisms of antagonism. Approach: This study explored the potential of fungal endophytes in controlling the pathogen responsible for Fusarium wilt disease. Nine fungal … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 11,872 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAssessment on the Effect of Formulative Materials on the Viability and Efficacy of Serratia marcescens-a Biocontrol Agent Against Fusarium oxysporum F. sp. cubense race 4A. S. Y. Ting, M. T. Fang, C. S. TeeProblem statement: Application of biocontrol agents to the field in pre-existing free-cell forms often results in poor cell viability which subsequently affects their efficacy in suppressing pathogen development. There is therefore a need to bioformulate these biocontrol agents not just to enhance their field potential, but for easy storage, delivery and application as well. Approach: In this study, the bioformulations … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,467 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleBiocontrol of Botrytis allii Munn the Causal Agent of Neck Rot, the Post Harvest Disease in Onion, by use of a New Iranian Isolate of StreptomycesM. Jorjandi, G.H. Shahidi Bonjar, A. Baghizadeh et al.Problem statement: Soil actinomycetes particularly Streptomyces spp. have showed antagonistic activity against wide range of plant pathogens. In the recent decades they have attracted high interests as biocontrol agents. Onion neck rot or gray mold caused by Botrytis allii have imposed economic post harvest damages to onion bulbs and decreased its storage durability and market value. Approach: To investigate for … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 9,935 accessesView PDFCite
