Identification and antifungal sensitivity of Fusarium species isolated from piscine hosts.

Fusarium is a huge genus of filamentous fungi that has the potential to cause emerging diseases. Members of this genus can cause infections in plants, animals and humans. Here, we report the isolation of F.

First report of causing gummosis and root rot of Khasi Mandarin ( Blanco) in north eastern states of India.

Khasi mandarin (Citrus reticulata Blanco) is the most economically important crop among the citrus growing region in the north-eastern India (Singh et al. 2016). An extensive survey was conducted to identify the causal agent of citrus root rot and gummosis in north eastern states (Meghalaya, Tripura, Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim, Nagaland and Assam) of India during October 2021-23.

Comparative stress physiological analysis of aluminium stress tolerance of indigenous maize ( L.) cultivars of eastern Himalaya.

Yield potential of maize having distinct genetic diversity in Eastern Himalayan Region (EHR) hill ecologies is often limited by Al toxicity caused due to soil acidity. Stress physiological analysis of local check exposed to 0-300 μM Al under sand culture revealed that 150 μM Al as critical and 200 μM Al as tolerable limit. Increase in Al from 0 to 300 μM reduced total chlorophyll, carotenoids by 74.

Antibacterial activity of a short de novo designed peptide against fish bacterial pathogens.

In the face of increasing antimicrobial resistance in aquaculture, researchers are exploring novel substitutes to customary antibiotics. One potential solution is the use of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). We aimed to design and evaluate a novel, short, and compositionally simple AMP with potent activity against various bacterial pathogens in aquaculture.

A comparative study of localized phosphorus application and broadcasting method on biomass production and their use efficiency on Chilli () under alkaline soil.

Rhizospheric based phosphorus (P) fertilizer management is necessary for crop production due to environmental concerns caused by the overuse of the broadcasting method and limited P reserves. This study proposes a comparison of P management that enhances P nutrition in Chilli (variety: ) through seedling root-dipping (SRD) in P-enriched slurry (SSP-amended; pH of 8.1), micro-dose placement (MDP; drill and place closer to plant root), and full dose (187.
