Soil microbial communities play a crucial role in soil fertility, sustainability, and plant health.
However, intensive agriculture with increasing chemical inputs and changing environments …

This study evaluated the ability of selected strains of Trichoderma viride, T. viridescens, and
T. atroviride to inhibit mycelium growth and the biosynthesis of mycotoxins deoxynivalenol …

Endophytic fungi live inside plant tissues but do not cause any disease. Several reports
have now revealed that they have great influence on host. In this study, the beneficial role of …

Under natural conditions, various abiotic and biotic constrains act on the plants. Root-knot
nematodes, particularly Meloidogyne incognita serve as one of the chief biotic constrains in …

Aims The efficacy of three isolates of endophytic Penicillium species that have shown
significant suppressive effect on root rotting fungi in our previous study were further …

Globally, huge crop yield losses are observed due to soil degradation accompanied by
insufficient nutrient content needed for healthy plant development and growth. Therefore …

Background The exposure of crops to a variety of fungal and bacterial pathogens leads to
huge economic losses. Different strategies are being adapted to control these diseases …

The vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) symbiosis is known to improve nutrient uptake
by plants particularly phosphorus, and suppress soilborne plant pathogens. However …

In the present study, nine okra cultivars were assessed for their resistance levels against
both predisposal and simultaneous infections of the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne …

Biological control of plant pathogenic fungi is an environmentally sustainable approach to
plant disease management. Biocontrol agents use natural weapons such as cell wall …
