Bacillus-based bionematicides: development, modes of action and commercialisation
(Taylor & Francis, 2018)Agricultural crops are severely damaged by root-knot nematodes causing extensive financial losses globally. Historically, agrochemicals have been the preferred method to combat these pests; however, threats to humans and ... -
Biological control of the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita on tomatoes and carrots by plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria
(Springer, 2019)In the current study 27 plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) strains were screened for biocontrol activity against Meloidogyne incognita on 6-week old carrot seedlings that were inoculated with a suspension of J2 ... -
Mechanisms of action of plant growth promoting bacteria
(SpringerSpringer, 2017)The idea of eliminating the use of fertilizers which are sometimes environmentally unsafe is slowly becoming a reality because of the emergence of microorganisms that can serve the same purpose or even do better. Depletion ... -
RAPD profiling of Bacillus spp with PGPR potential and their effects on mineral composition of tomatoes
(Kamla-Raj, 2016)Bacillus species have been known to antagonize and inhibit the growth of various plant pathogens but quality of crop from such plants is yet to be investigated. The aim of this study is to analyze the mineral composition ...
