The primary aim of this research was to study the effectiveness of various strains of antagonist microorganisms and biological preparations against , in addition to their impact on the quality of tomato fruits and crop structure. Four microorganism strains and three registered environmentally safe nematicides were used in the experiment presented herein. The results showed that the strains F-22BK/6 and F-22BK/4 had the greatest biological efficacy, reducing the number of galls on tomato plants by 91.

Highly adapted obligate endoparasites of the root system, root-knot nematodes ( spp.), cause great damage to agricultural crops. Our research is aimed at the assessment of nematicidal activity and effectiveness of antagonist fungal and bacterial strains against the most common type of root-knot nematode in the south of Russia.

An assessment of 27 mutant tomato lines from four countries (Germany, USA, Russia, Bulgaria) was carried out for resistance to five strains under conditions of the South of Russia. Five strains of the fungus were isolated from naturally infected plants selected in five agroclimatic zones of Krasnodar Krai: Central - strain 1, Western - strain 6, North - strain 11, South Foothill - strain 12, Chernomorskaya - strain 13. The assessment was carried out in the field during 2018-2020, in a greenhouse and under the laboratory conditions three times for each studied strain.

Voltage control of magnetic order is desirable for spintronic device applications, but 180° magnetization switching is not straightforward because electric fields do not break time-reversal symmetry. Ferrimagnets are promising candidates for 180° switching owing to a multi-sublattice configuration with opposing magnetic moments of different magnitudes. In this study we used solid-state hydrogen gating to control the ferrimagnetic order in rare earth-transition metal thin films dynamically.

Article Synopsis
  • Topological states of matter are intriguing due to their unique physics and stability, but creating these states quickly is challenging.
  • Researchers demonstrated the rapid emergence of a topological phase with multiple magnetic skyrmions within picoseconds, using real-time soft X-ray scattering after activating with infrared laser.
  • A transient topological fluctuation state, influenced by a specific magnetic field, helps lower the energy barrier for this rapid formation, offering insights into topological transitions and potential for ultrafast switching in various materials.
