Endophytic bacterium Sphingomonas panaciterrae NB5 influences soil properties and improves growth, nutrient contents, and yield of red amaranth (Amaranthus tricolor L.)

Current Plant Biology
Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are crucial for enhancing plant growth and restoring soil health. Despite the excellent plant growth promoting traits, information is limited on the efficacy of Sphingomonas as a PGPR, especially in vegetable ...

Establishing a rapid and effective method for screening salt tolerance in soybean [PDF]

, 2009
Chlorine (Cl) toxicity has been recognized as a constraint for soybean production. Although the use of a Cl-tolerant crop easily solves the problem, current screening methodologies for Cl tolerance are often ineffective because of inadequate means of ...

Effect of foliar application of triacontanol on the growth and yield of rice plants. I. Around the time of treatment.

Japanese Journal of Crop Science, 1987
It is recognized in various species that triacontanol (TRIA) increases the growth of seedlings at very low concentrations. However, very fcw reports so far have actually shown increases in dry weight or yield in grain crops under field conditions. A field experiment was, therefore, carried out in 1983 and 1984 at the University Farm of Tokyo Univcrsity

Impact and selectivity of insecticides on groundnut predators

Environment Conservation Journal
Predatory arthropods play a crucial role in mitigating the impact of insect pests. However, the use of broad-spectrum insecticides in pest management methods can pose a threat to predator populations. In response to the need for safer and more selective

Effects of root and foliar treatments with lead, cadmium, and copper on the uptake distribution and growth of radish plants

Environment International, 1993
Abstract The effects of treatment of radish plants with cadmium, lead, and copper were studied. Both root treatment and foliar treatment were used. All three elements were found to inhibit the growth of radish plants. Cadmium and lead were greater growth inhibitors than copper on the plant.

Non‐triazine photosystem II inhibitors provide effective control of metabolic atrazine‐resistant Amaranthus tuberculatus

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Metabolism‐based atrazine‐resistant Amaranthus tuberculatus populations ACR and MCR exhibit little or no cross‐resistance to amicarbazone and metribuzin, suggesting that non‐halogenated Group 5 herbicides can be utilized to re‐establish effective control.

Bacillus thuringiensis and its pest control potential as endophyte

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) systemically colonizes tomato plants as endophyte, inducing midgut damage, fitness reduction and immune suppression in Spodoptera littoralis larvae feeding on Bt‐colonized leaves. The immune suppression enhances the susceptibility to Bt treatments, allowing a synergistic dual use of Bt commercial formulations, by combined ...

Fungal disease management in cotton using plant protection products: An Australian perspective

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Cotton disease management requires evidence‐driven use of plant protection products. Progress hinges on integrating chemistry, diagnostics, stewardship and sustainability to build resilient production systems. Abstract Cotton production faces persistent challenges from pathogens that compromise plant establishment, yield, and fibre quality.
