Biological control of ragi blast disease by chitinase producing fluorescent Pseudomonas isolates

Chitinases As The Key To The Interaction Between Plants And Microorganisms

“…Również szczepy fluorescencyjne należące do Pseudo monas wykazywały aktywność przeciwko patogenom grzybowym, m.in. Phytophthora capsici, Botrytis cire nea, Rhizoctonia solani, Magnaporthe grisea [3,33,67].…”

Potential of Finger Millet Indigenous Rhizobacterium Pseudomonas sp. MSSRFD41 in Blast Disease Management—Growth Promotion and Compatibility With the Resident Rhizomicrobiome

“…The problems associated with indiscriminate use of chemical pesticides in agriculture have led to increasing interest in the use of native and non-native beneficial microorganisms to improve plant health and to increase crop productivity while ensuring food safety and environmental protection (Verma et al, 2013 ; Santhanam et al, 2015 ; Souza et al, 2015 ; Sharma et al, 2017 ; Schütz et al, 2018 ). The use of bioinoculants and the exploitation of novel beneficial plant microbes offer promising, sustainable and eco-friendly strategies in conventional and organic agriculture systems worldwide (Negi et al, 2015 ; Gopalakrishnan et al, 2016 ; Zhou et al, 2016 ). Reports have shown that both conventional and organic growers indicate an interest in using microbial inoculants.…”

“…Among these, 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol (DAPG) exhibits a broad range of antagonistic activity against phytopathogens, and can induce host plant systemic resistance (Weller et al, 2012 ; Jegan et al, 2016 ; Viswanath et al, 2016 ; Yan et al, 2017 ). Numerous studies on the biocontrol of phytopathogens and plant growth promotion by pseudomonads are available (Yin et al, 2013 ; Gopalakrishnan et al, 2016 ; Zhou et al, 2016 ; Yan et al, 2017 ), but very little research has been carried out on the control of P. grisea by pseudomonads in a highly nutritive crop like millet (Radjacommare et al, 2005 ; Senthil et al, 2012 ; Waghunde et al, 2013 ; Negi et al, 2015 ).…”

“…Finger millet [ Eleusine coracona (L). Gaertner], also known as “Ragi,” is one of the minor millet cereals which is solely utilized for human consumption in the semi-arid tropics of Asia and Africa (Waghunde et al, 2013 ; Jegan, 2015 ; Negi et al, 2015 ; Kumar et al, 2016 ; Gupta et al, 2017 ). This “nutritious millet” offers several health benefits, as it is rich in calcium (0.38%), dietary fiber (18%), and phenolic compounds (0.3–3%).…”

Application of Soil‐borne Actinomycetes for Biological Control against Fusarium Wilt of Chickpea (Cicer arietinum) caused by Fusarium solani fsp pisi

“…Fusarium solani is a destructive disease in roots of a number of various important crops such as root and fruit rot of Cucurbita spp., root and stem rot of pea, foot rot of bean, dry rot of potato and wilt of chickpea (Cicer arietinum), sudden death syndrome of soybean and colonizes soybean roots (Hartman et al 2004;Zaccardelli et al 2008). Effective management of Fusarium wilt in chickpea is best achieved by means of integrated disease management strategies, a prerequisite of which is the accurate and quick diagnosis of the pathogen and its pathogenic races (Jim enez-control is a natural and specific method to control pathogens and improve crop yield by growth-promoting attributes of environmental friendly microorganisms (Negi et al 2015;Bach et al 2016). Actinomycetes species are the most prolific source for the production of bioactive metabolites including antibacterial, herbicides and fungicides, and they are new natural sources of bioactive compounds (Xing et al 2013;Aksoy et al 2016).…”
