Fumigant Activity of Bacterial Volatile Organic Compounds against the Nematodes and .

Plant-parasitic nematodes infect a diversity of crops, resulting in severe economic losses in agriculture. Microbial volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are potential agents to control plant-parasitic nematodes and other pests. In this study, VOCs emitted by a dozen bacterial strains were analyzed using solid-phase microextraction followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Degenerated Virulence and Irregular Development of f. sp. Induced by Successive Subculture.

Successive cultivation of fungi on artificial media has been reported to cause the sectorization, which leads to degeneration of developmental phenotype, and virulence. f. sp.

Silver Nanoparticles on Nanoscale Silica Platelets (AgNP/NSP) and Nanoscale Silica Platelets (NSP) Inhibit the Development of f. sp. .

Nanotechnology has attracted much attention recently because of its agricultural applications. In this study, we analyzed the ability of two potential nanomaterials (NMs), nanoscale silica platelets (NSP) and silver nanoparticles on nanoscale silica platelets (AgNP/NSP), to control Fusarium wilt [caused by f. sp.
