Article Synopsis
- Wilt, caused by the fungus TR4, is a major threat to global banana production and highlights the need for effective biocontrol methods.
- The study evaluates the effectiveness of strain JSZ06, isolated from smooth vetch, showing strong antifungal activity against TR4, reducing growth and spore germination significantly.
- Results indicate that strain JSZ06 not only inhibits the fungus but also promotes banana plant growth, suggesting its potential as a dual-action biocontrol agent for integrated disease management strategies.
Article Synopsis
- A modern chemical sensor system (M-CSS) was created for affordable chemical analysis to promote precision and sustainable agriculture specifically suitable for rural settings in Thailand.
- The M-CSS employs a colorimetric method using smartphones to analyze soil samples for nutrients like nitrate-nitrogen, phosphate-phosphorous, and potassium, demonstrating promising accuracy compared to traditional methods.
- The system's results can inform fertilizer management practices, making it a valuable tool for organic vegetable farmers and a foundational step towards improving Thai precision and sustainable agriculture (TPSA).
