Utilization of actinomycetes having broad-spectrum of plant growth promoting and biocontrol traits in chickpea, sorghum and rice
Plant pathogens such as Sclerotium rolfsii (causes collar rot), Fusarium oxysporum (causes wilt) and Macrophomina phaseolina (causes charcoal rot/dry root rot) have a broad host range, affecting several agriculturally ...
Evaluation of Plant Growth Promoting Actinomycetes on Vigna
The legume genus Vigna are grown in warm temperate and tropical regions globally but are particularly crucial to human nutrition in
large parts of tropical Africa and Asia. It can also serve as forage crops. Among the Vigna ...
A Renaissance in Plant Growth- Promoting and Biocontrol Agents by Endophytes
Endophytes are the microorganisms which colonize the internal tissue of
host plants without causing any damage to the colonized plant. The benefi -
cial role of endophytic organisms has dramatically documented worldwide
in ...
Exploration of Plant Growth-Promoting Actinomycetes for Biofortification of Mineral Nutrients
Mineral malnutrition, especially Fe and Zn, affects more than two million people around the world and increases vulnerability to illness and infections. These malnourished people live in developing countries and rely upon ...
Insecticidal activity of a novel fatty acid amide derivative from Streptomyces species against Helicoverpa armigera
Helicoverpa armigera, an important pest causes serious damage to grain legumes. The main objective of this study was to isolate and
identify the metabolite against H. armigera from a previously characterised Streptomyces ...
Formulation and Commercialization of Rhizobia: Asian Scenario
The symbiotic agreement of rhizobia with leguminous plants is making a valuable
contribution to agriculture primarily as nitrogen fi xers and secondarily as
plant growth promoters by their key role as phosphate solubilizers, ...
Plant Growth-Promoting Microbes from Herbal Vermicompost
Overreliance on chemical pesticides and fertilizers has resulted in problems including
safety risks, outbreaks of secondary pests normally held in check by natural
enemies, insecticide resistance, environmental contamination, ...
Soil Microbes: The Invisible Managers of Soil Fertility
Soil health is represented by its continuous capacity to function as a vital living system. Since soil health is the major driving factor for sustainable agriculture, it has to be preserved. Microorganisms are an essential ...
Plant growth-promoting traits of Pseudomonas geniculata isolated from chickpea nodules
A bacterium, isolated from nodules of chickpea grown in alluvial soils of Haryana state of India, designated as IC-76 was characterized for in vitro plant growth-promoting (PGP) properties and further evaluated under ...
Cultivation of sweet sorghum on heavy metal contaminated soils by phytoremediation approach for production of bioethanol
The term heavy metal (HM) has a wide range of meanings, and there has been no consistent definition by any authoritative body such
as International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) over the past 60 years. But ...
