    Plant Science Today, 2024
    Plant growth promoting fungi PGPF is considered a major biological technique that results in significant plant growth and yield. Use of high doses of chemical fertilizers increased cost of crop production and environmental pollution. PGPF could be a reliable alternative to reduce application of agrochemicals such as chemical fertilizers in modern agriculture. The present study evaluated the role of these fungi with chemical fertilizer of DAP applied through different doses in agronomic response of production of 2 varieties of Wheat (Ibaa99 and Rasheed) at 2 agricultural seasons 2019-2020-2021. Field plots conducted during 2019-2020 cropping season, to evaluate the role of adding fungal isolate called PGPF-AT with doses of DAP were (0, 50 and 100%) in 0, 120 and 240 Kg ha-1 respectively, compared with (Commercial Biofertilizer) called Natrusoil as positive control on wheat var. Ibaa99 to improve growth and yield attributes. The study was repeated in the 2020-2021 cropping seasons with var. Rasheed (to discover a variety of effects and confirm results). The results revealed that treatment PGPF-AT was exerted a highly significant increase without differences between doses of DAP 120, and 240 Kg ha-1 compared to untreated plots for both Ibaa 99 and Rasheed varieties attributes: no. of plants m-2, plant height (cm), plant dry weight (g), no. of tillers plant-1, no. of spike plant-1, spike length (cm), spike weight (g), no. of seeds spike-1, weight of 100 grain (g) and grain yield Kg m-2 in addition to fertilizer use efficiency (Kg Kg-1) in both cropping seasons.

    Matrood, A.A.A., A. Rhouma and A.H.F. Al-Taie. 2022. Indirect Effect of Some Insecticides on Tomato Early Blight (Alternaria solani) Under Laboratory and Greenhouse Conditions. Arab Journal of Plant Protection, 40(3): 231-239. https://doi.org/10.22268/AJPP-40.3.231239 Early blight disease is one of the serious diseases of tomato caused by Alternaria solani. In some instances, annual economic yield loss due to this disease was estimated at 80%. Currently, pesticide applications are used for the management of early blight disease due to the lack of resistant cultivars. The effect of treatment of the susceptible tomato cultivar Super Marmond with three insecticides (Diazinon, Match® 050 EC and Vertimec®) was evaluated under laboratory and greenhouse conditions. In vitro assay showed that the pesticide Vertimec® (at a concentration of 300 ppm) was the most effective against A. solani with mycelial growth inhibition above 93%, inhibition of fungal sporulation to 0.26x103 spores/ml, and spore germination inhibition of 98.79%. In addition, there was a reduction in A. solani spores and their dry weight (0.0144 mg) in the presence of Vertimec®. In greenhouse experiments, when Vertimec® was used curatively on tomato leaves against A. solani, it lowered significantly disease severity (20.33%). The effect of this insecticide was not limited only to the protection of tomato plants but it also improved their growth by increasing the tomato shoot fresh and dry weights (21.94 g and 3.85 g, respectively) as well as the root fresh and dry weight (3.84 g and 0.89 g, respectively). Based on the results obtained, it can be concluded that Vertimec® could be used for early blight management when the tomato crop is also infested with insect pests. Keywords: Alternaria solani, early blight, insecticide, tomato.

    Indian Journal of Agricultural Research, 2020
    Background: Serious seed-borne and soil-borne pathogens are existing at the rhizosphere area, many species of Pythium can cause seed rot and damping-off disease. The application of plant extracts and biological agents as alternative ways for the management of plant diseases has recently become an important variable component for Integrated Pest Management, so plant metabolites regarded as eco-friendly where plants play an important role in the control of diseases. The current study amid to evaluate the allelopathy effect of two species of biological agents particularly Trichoderma spp. and some plant extracts against the soil-borne pathogen P. aphanidermatum on cucumber seedlings under laboratory conditions. Methods: In this study laboratory investigation during 2018, used the allelopathy effect of two species of Trichoderma (T. harzianum and T. hamatum) and five plant extracts, in Three conc. 10.000, 20.000 and 30.000 ppm, to control damping-off disease in cucumber caused by Pythium aphanidermatum instead of using chemicals fungicides. Result: Our study observed that Trichoderma spp., have a high inhibitory effect on the tested pathogen, but in the assay of plant extracts, only some with different concentrations had a significant effect against P. aphanidermatum (in-vitro). Cinnamomum cassia, Syzygium aromaticum and Eucalyptus globulus were most affective from all other five tested plant extracts, where the concentration of 30.000 ppm gave the highest inhibitory effect against P. aphanidermatum, while Psidium guajava and Lawsonia inermis extracts showed a lower inhibitory effect on radial growth of P. aphanidermatum.

    Iqra Haider Khan, Arshad Javaid, Azher Hameed Al-Taie, Dildar Ahmed
    Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control, 2020
    Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is an important grain legume that is attacked by the fungal pathogen, Sclerotium rolfsii, responsible for collar rot disease. In the present study, the pathogen was isolated from diseased chickpea seedlings and identified on molecular basis using internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and β-tubulin markers. To control this pathogen, an in vivo study was carried out, using Neem (Azadirachta indica A. Juss.) leaf dry biomass (1, 2, and 3%) as soil amendment. A broad-spectrum fungicide mancozeb was selected as a reference and the data regarding plant growth and mortality rates were calculated. In positive control, the highest seedling mortality (56%) was recorded in comparison to negative control (0%) after 30 days of sowing. In 1, 2, and 3% concentrations of A. indica dry leaf biomass, the seedling mortalities were 49, 38, and 38%, respectively. On the other hand, the mancozeb-treated seedlings showed the lowest plant mortality rate (28%). Soil treatments with mancozeb as well as with 1 and 2% leaf biomass concentrations showed marked differences in root and shoot dry biomasses over positive control. In a laboratory bioassay, methanolic leaf extract of Neem of 0.5 to 3.5% concentrations reduced biomass of S. rolfsii by 86–90% over control. The present study concluded that 2% A. indica leaf amendment was the most useful concentration for management of collar rot disease of chickpea.
