The inoculation of plants with growth‐promoting and nitrogen‐fixing bacteria is considered an effective alternative to reduce the use of nitrogen fertilizers and promote plant growth. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of inoculation and co‐inoculation with growth‐promoting bacteria on the physiological traits and growth of chickpea plants.

A sensitive Phytophthora cinnamomi‐specific qPCR assay was developed to show that macadamia tree roots from a new root flush are more colonized by the pathogen than suberized roots, and that colonization tends to be higher in autumn and winter months. Abstract Phytophthora cinnamomi is an important soilborne pathogen causing root rot and stem cankers ...

Soil crusting (surface sealing) is widespread and serious in ecotouristic game parks and reserves in southern Africa, and especially South Africa. In this study, mineral soil crusts were found to be the problem in the Dinokeng Game Reserve (DGR), South Africa. Large areas of bare soil crusted areas were found in this reserve. The cause of this crusting
