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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
Biological control of Botrytis cinerea and plant growth promotion potential by Penicillium citrinum in chickpea ( Cicer arietinum L.)
A total of 48 fungi were characterised for their antagonistic potential againstBotrytis cinereacausing Botrytis Gray Mold (BGM) disease in chickpea by dualculture and metabolite production assays. The culture filtrate of ...
Plant growth-promoting actinobacteria on chickpea seed mineral density: an upcoming complementary tool for sustainable biofortification strategy
The present study was evaluated to test the potential of plant growth-promoting actinobacteria in increasing seed mineral density of chickpea under field conditions. Among the 19 isolates of actinobacteria tested, significant ...
Assessment of a diketopiperazine, cyclo(Trp-Phe) from Streptomyces griseoplanus SAI-25 against cotton bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
Microorganisms produce a range of metabolites with varying pest control properties. With this concept, we earlier identified 15 Streptomyces spp. strains with insecticidal activity against Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner), ...
Plant growth promoting rhizobia: challenges and opportunities
Modern agriculture faces challenges, such as loss of soil fertility, fluctuating climatic factors and increasing pathogen and pest attacks. Sustainability and environmental safety of agricultural production relies on ...
