is known to cause diseases like damping-off, root rot, stem rot and fruit rot in a wide range of plants Eventhough many chemical methods have been demonstrated to have the potential to manage these diseases, their benefits are being offset equally by the negative side effects. Therefore, the control of spp. using natural antifungal agents is of immense significance due to its environmental safety.

Article Synopsis
- - A new virus, called areca palm necrotic ringspot virus 2 (ANRSV2), was discovered in diseased areca palms in India using advanced techniques like RNA-sequencing and microscopy.
- - The presence of ANRSV2 was confirmed with reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction, and researchers also found related virus sequences in other plants and honey bees.
- - These discoveries expand knowledge about arepaviruses and their potential transmission through pollen, highlighting the need for more research to understand these novel viruses.

Plastic pots used in horticultural nurseries generate substantial waste, causing environmental pollution. This study aimed to develop biodegradable composites from banana pseudo-stem reinforced with agricultural residues like pineapple leaves, taro and water hyacinth as eco-friendly substitutes. The aim of this study is to develop optimised banana biocomposite formulations with suitable reinforcements that balance mechanical durability, biodegradation, and seedling growth promotion properties to serve as viable eco-friendly alternatives to plastic seedling pots.
