Biological control of bacterial plant diseases with Lactobacillus plantarum strains selected for their broad ‐spectrum activity
The use of lactic acid bacteria bacteria to control multiple pathogens that affect different crops was studied, namely,Pseudomonas syringae pv.actinidiae in kiwifruit,Xanthomonas arboricola pv.pruni inPrunus andXanthomonas fragariae in strawberry. A screening procedure based onin vitro and inplanta assays of the three bacterial pathogens was successful in selectingLactobacillus plantarum PM411 and TC92 strains as biological control agents with broad ‐spectrum activity. The use of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) to control multiple pathogens that affect different crops was studied, namely,Pseudomonas syringae pv.actinidiae in ...

Control of Brevicoryne brassicae (Hemiptera: Aphididae) with extracts of Agave americana var. Marginata Trel. in Brassica oleracea crops
Cumulative aphid survival (number of live aphids) over time when exposed to different concentrations of aqueous extracts of agave, water, and deltamethrin. Letters in the legend indicate significance of difference among treatments. Alternative methods of pest control can and should be encouraged, especially those that consider the reality of smallholder family farmers. Here, we evaluated the potential ofAgave americana (agave) extracts for the control of the aphidBrevicoryne brassicae in cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. var acephala) in the field and laboratory. The field experiments consisted of the evaluation of the proport...

Silymarin content and antioxidant activity of seeds of wild Silybum marianum populations growing in Greece
Selection of milk thistle genotypes for commercial cultivation depends on wild population resources. The evaluation of these populations could contribute to the development of new milk thistle varieties with desirable traits. Therefore, we conducted a study to evaluate 30 wild populations growing in Greece. Significant differences in silymarin content were recorded among the populations studied, with values ranging from 2.31 to 7.71%, as well as in flavonolignan and taxifolin content. Our results showed noticeable levels of diversity in silymarin content, indicating that a valuable gene pool for exploitation in milk thistl...

Mechanism of application nursery cultivation arbuscular mycorrhizal seedling in watermelon in the field
In conclusion, nursery colonisation AMF seedling enhanced watermelon growth and yield by improving the root growth and P acquisition in nursery cultivating stage, as well as optimised soil properties in the field. Nursery cultivation of watermelon seedling with AMF was an effective technique to reduce wilt disease in continuous cropped management in watermelon. (Source: Annals of Applied Biology)
