This book was released on 2016-02-22 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to achieve sustainable agricultural production without compromising environmental quality, agro-ecosystem function and biodiversity is a serious consideration in current agricultural practices. Farming systems’ growing dependency on chemical inputs (fertilizers, pesticides, nutrients etc.) poses serious threats with regard to crop productivity, soil fertility, the nutritional value of farm produce, management of pests and diseases, agro-ecosystem well-being, and health issues for humans and animals. At the same time, microbial inoculants in the form of biofertilizers, plant growth promoters, biopesticides, soil health managers, etc. have gained considerable attention among researchers, agriculturists, farmers and policy makers. The first volume of the book Microbial Inoculants in Sustainable Agricultural Productivity - Research Perspectives highlights the efforts of global experts with regard to various aspects of microbial inoculants. Emphasis is placed on recent advances in microbiological techniques for the isolation, characterization, identification and evaluation of functional properties using biochemical and molecular tools.

This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sclerotinia blight of peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.), caused by Sclerotinia minor (Jagger) Kohn, is an important disease in North Carolina and Virginia. Sclerotia are the main overwintering propagules of S. minor and serve as the primary source of inoculum for Sclerotinia blight. The effectiveness of the fungal mycoparasite Coniothyrium minitans, which is capable of colonizing sclerotia of Sclerotinia spp., was evaluated in a 5-year field study and in eight short-term field studies in northeastern North Carolina. Control of Sclerotinia blight was highest when C. minitans was applied for 3 consecutive years. However, application of C. minitans for 1 or 2 years also reduced disease in the long-term study. A single application of C. minitans was less effective when applied 4 to 6 months prior to planting and sclerotia numbers were only reduced in two of the eight short-term field studies. Sclerotia used as baits placed in the long-term field study as well as the sclerotia isolated from soil were infected by C. minitans, and the number of sclerotia was reduced where C. minitans was applied. Moderate resistance in the cultivar Perry and application of the fungicide fluazinam provided adequate control of Sclerotinia blight in all plots. The integration of C. minitans with current peanut management practices is needed for successful biological control of Sclerotinia blight. Laboratory experiments evaluated the effects of nine pesticides commonly used in peanut production on mycelial growth, conidia germination, and mycoparasitic activity of C. minitans on sclerotia of S. minor. The commercial formulations of the fungicides azoxystrobin, chlorothalonil, fluazinam, pyraclostrobin, and tebuconazole, and the herbicide flumioxazin reduced mycelial growth and conidia germination of C. minitans. Eight of nine pesticides, azoxystrobin, chlorothalonil, fluazinam, pyraclostrobin, tebuconazole, diclosulam, flumioxazin, and pendimethalin applied to soil plates reduced but did not inhibi.

Download or read book The Rhizosphere written by Elroy A. Curl and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Plant Root and the Rhizosphere was a major topical feature of the first International Symposium on Factors Determining the Behavior of Plant Pathogens in Soil held at the University of California, Berkeley in 1963. The symposium was edited by K. F. Baker and W. C. Snyder and published under the title Ecology of Soil-Borne Plant Pathogens. Since that time, several other international efforts, either on the root-soil interface specifically or on topics relating to the root environment, have provided"a wealth of valuable information basic to promoting the culture of healthier, more productive plants. For the writing of this book, inspiration has come, in large part, from 10 years of cooperative rhizosphere research in association with leading scientists participating in a regional effort within the southern United States. We have attempted to bring together in this work the major aspects of rhizosphere research and the principles of rhizosphere ecology for the benefit of developing young scientists and technologists, as well as for the established professional researcher and teacher. A prime objective and hope is that this volume might generate ideas that will bring forth new approaches and methodology leading to further advances in our understanding of rhizosphere interactions and their implications for agriculture. ' Because of the enormous complexity of the chemical, physical, and microbiological environment of roots, the methods used by various workers are rarely standardized, but must be devised or modified for each experiment.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plant based biotechnology has come to represent a means of mitigating the problems of global food security in the twenty-first century. Products and processes in agriculture are increasingly becoming linked to science and cutting edge technology, to enable the engineering of what are in effect, designer plants. One of the most successful , non-chemical approaches to pest management and disease control is biological control, which seeks a solution in terms of using living organisms to regulate the incidence of pests and pathogens, providing a natural control' while still maintaining the biological balance with the ecosystem. This volume, (the first of two), addresses the different types of biocontrol for different pests, namely, crop diseases, weeds and nematodes, and details the biology of both the pest and its enemies, which is vital for efficient use of biological control. The book has numerous contributors who are authorities in their fields, and would be an asset to those who have interest in sustainable agriculture and crop productivity.
