Lichen‐Derived Mineral Residue as a Renewable Particulate Filler in Polylactic Acid Biocomposites: Structure, Melt Rheology, Viscoelastic, and Flexural Behavior

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Lichen residue, a renewable mineral‐organic material, was melt compounded with polylactic acid and triacetin in a twin‐screw extruder. ABSTRACT A lichen‐derived natural material, known as “höllük” in southeastern Turkey, is introduced as a renewable filler for polylactic acid (PLA).

Image_1_Finger Millet Growth and Nutrient Uptake Is Improved in Intercropping With Pigeon Pea Through “Biofertilization” and “Bioirrigation” Mediated by Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi and Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria.JPEG

, 2018
Legume-cereal intercropping is well known in traditional dry land agriculture. Here, we tested whether finger millet, a shallow-rooted cereal, can profit from neighboring pigeon pea, a deep-rooted legume, in the presence of “biofertilization” with ...

Combined application of Bacillus velezensis JDB15 and Trichoderma harzianum JDL4 suppresses banana Fusarium wilt under controlled conditions

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
The surfactin C secreted by JDB15 and the probable parasitism of JDL4 lead to the leakage of intracellular macromolecules and the degradation of hyphae, respectively. Combined application of the two strains effectively controls banana Fusarium wilt under controlled conditions.
