Potential impacts of Ascophyllum nodosum, Arthrospira platensis extracts and calcium phosphite as therapeutic nutrients for enhancing immune response in pepper plant against Fusarium wilt disease

Abstract

The search for active inducers against diseases in the formula of therapeutic nutrients has become a necessity for many researchers. The study’s chief purpose was to make agronomic farming simpler by applying newly created therapeutic nutrients. The novelty of this research is the applied of algal extracts in adding to minerals as therapeutic nutrion. Calcium (Maxifos Ca), Ascophyllum nodosum (Greencal), and Arthrospira platensis (A. platensis), were tested for induction pepper plant resistance against Fusarium wilt. The disease index (DI), morphological growth, photosynthetic pigments, free proline, total phenol, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), malondialdehyde (MDA), and antioxidant enzymes as reactions to the induction of protection in challenged tested plants were measured. Results revealed that the use of entirely different treatments significantly minimized the danger of Fusarium wilt. Treatment of infected plants with Maxifos Ca was the best treatment, as it reduced the DI to 25% and thus reduced symptoms and improved the percentage of plant protection from the disease by 69.6%. Surprisingly, it was widely assumed that Greencal was the greatest treatment for restoring vegetative growth, followed by Maxifos Ca and an algal extract, A. platensis. The application of Greencal, followed by Maxifos Ca, and then A. platensis significantly increased the expression of all metabolic resistance indices (phenols, polyphenol oxidase, and peroxidase). The best treatments for reducing the signs of stress represented in (MDA and H2O2) were Maxifos Ca and then Greencal. According to the findings the use of Maxifos Ca, Greencal, and A. platensis as alternate therapeutic nutrients of eco-destructive chemically synthesized fungicides appears to be a significant methodology for reducing the harmful effects of Fusarium wilt on pepper plants.

Potential impact of iron oxide conjugated nano-fertilizer on growth, flowering and isozyme expression in Gardenia jasminoides

“…Our results revealed that iron oxide nanocomposites are promising for improving the growth and flowering of Gardenia jasminoides which agreement with heavily studies that stated that NPs enhanced the plant growth and production when compared with the control (Attia et al, 2023;. The synthesized Fe2O3NPs-HA enhanced the mobilization of the nutrient element (iron) and the special structure of Fe2O3NPs-HA could protect and prolong soil enzyme activity (Mousa et al, 2021), soil organic matter, soil…”

Efficient Role of Endophytic Aspergillus terreus in Biocontrol of Rhizoctonia solani Causing Damping-off Disease of Phaseolus vulgaris and Vicia faba

“…Severe crop losses result from the plant’s exposure to biotic and abiotic stressors. Among the most dangerous plant diseases is a fungal infection which can cause crops to entirely or partially fail and reduce crop quality, endangering the safety of the world’s food supply [ 4 , 5 ]. There are numerous methods of managing plant diseases, including chemically through synthetic pesticides, biologically using beneficial microorganisms, agriculturally using processes, and genetically [ 6 ].…”

Protective role of endophytic fungi and salicylic acid as therapeutic nutrients to improve immune responses of tomato plants against fusarial wilt disease

“…In contrast to fungicides, natural management of Fusarium wilt uses biotic agents that have the potential for reducing the deleterious effects of the disease on crops . Therapeutic feeding is a nutrition that consists of providing nutrients and fertilizers to the plant that activate and stimulate physiological processes and help increase the plant's ability to confront challenges and hazards, as well as minimize some diseases or side effects linked with those diseases (Attia et al, 2023).…”
