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 ...
Plant growth-promotion by Streptomyces spp. in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.)
Seven strains of Streptomyces spp.: BCA-546 (KF770898), BCA-659 (KF770889), BCA-667 (KF770888),
BCA-689 (KF770899), BCA-698 (KF770900), CAI-133 (KF770895) and CAI-8 (KF770890), reported earlier
to produce biocontrol and ...
Characterization of potential probiotic bacteria isolated from sorghum and pearl millet of the semi-arid tropics
The present study was conducted to isolate and characterize probiotic properties of bacteria isolated
from flour and batter samples of sorghum and pearl millet. A total of five different selective media
including plate ...
Composting of Sweet Sorghum Bagasse and its Impact on Plant Growth Promotion
The present study was carried out to optimize a protocol to rapidly decompose sweet sorghum bagasse and to evaluate the bagasse compost for plant growth promotion (PGP) in sweet sorghum. A total of ten cellulose-degrading ...
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 ...
Purification of secondary metabolites from 2 actinomycetes responsible for antagonistic activity against important fungal pathogens of chickpea and sorghum
In our previous study, a total of 137 actinomycetes, isolated from 25 different herbal vermi-composts, were characterized for their antagonistic potential against Macrophomina phaseolina (causes charcoal rot in sorghum and ...
Product Concept Notes of GLDC Crops
Report on product concept notes of CGIAR Research Program on Grain Legumes and Dryland Cereals (GLDC) Crops.
Penicillium citrinum VFI-51 as biocontrol agent to control charcoal rot of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench)
In our earlier investigation, a fungal isolate Penicillium citrinum VFI-51 and its secondary metabolite was
reported to have antagonistic potential against Botrytis cinerea, the causative agent of Botrytis gray
mold disease ...
