Volatile Formulation of Induced Defense Mechanism in Tomato and Suppressed Damping Off Disease Caused by .

Unlabelled: Volatiles produced by the leaves of medicinal plants are increasingly used as a new plant disease management strategy due to their induction of diverse antimicrobial activities, it is highly essential for the development of a new phyto-fumigant product to sustain crop production. The present study attempted to find the active role of associated volatile formulation in the suppression of the growth of under pot culture and field conditions. Damping off disease-causing is a devastating disease that infects the tomato crop from seed sprouting to the seedling stage.

Maize Apoplastic Fluid Bacteria Alter Feeding Characteristics of Herbivore () in Maize.

Maize is an important cereal crop which is severely affected by . The study aims to identify endophytic bacteria of maize root and leaf apoplastic fluid with bioprotective traits against and plant growth promoting properties. Among 15 bacterial endophytic isolates, two strains-namely, RAF5 and LAF5-were selected and identified as sp.

Metabolites of Trichoderma longibrachiatum EF5 inhibits soil borne pathogen, Macrophomina phaseolina by triggering amino sugar metabolism.

An endophytic fungal antagonist Trichoderma longibrachiatum EF5 exhibited biocontrol activity against a soil-borne fungal pathogen Macrophomina phaseolina. Under dual co-culture, T. longibrachiatum EF5 showed 58% inhibition against M.

Antagonistic and plant-growth promoting novel species from long-term organic farming soils from Sikkim, India.

Three bacteria namely K2, K12 and BioCWB possessing plant growth promotion and biocontrol potential against phytopathogens and rice leaf folder were identified from organic soils of Sikkim, India. The results revealed significant higher production of phytohormones IAA (97.1 μg mL) and GA (10.
