Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. psidii and F. solani, causal agents of wilt in guava are highly variable pathogens. This study was conducted on cultural and physiological (temperature and pH) characters. The data revealed that maximum mycelial growth was obtained in potato dextrose agar as semi-solid media i.e. 78.00 mm for F. oxysporum f. sp. psidii; 73. 83 mm for F. solani, while malt extract broth as...
In the years 2007–2009, trials on control of codling moth (CM), Cydia pomonella (L.), were carried out in apple orchards of South-East Bulgaria, where the pressure of the pest was very high. Mating disruption with Isomate C plus dispensers was applied in combination with sprays of the virus product Madex®. With a single installation of Isomate C plus dispensers per season + 4 treatments of Madex®...
The effect of infections with Trichoderma aggressivum f. europaeum on the yielding of seven wild and one commercial strain of Agaricus bisporus (Lange) Imbach. was investigated. Wild strains of the mushroom were derived from natural habitats of Poland. The cultivation substrate was inoculated with two different isolates of T. aggressivum f. europaeum Th2. It was found that infections of the substrate...
Treating apple trees and strawberry plants with methyl jasmonate (JA-Me) was investigated to see how the treatment affects the population size of the two-spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae Koch.). Both apple and strawberry were represented by two cultivars: Jester, Close and Aga, Kent, respectively. Each plant was infested with mites one day after being treated with a methyl jasmonate (JA-Me)...
Occurrence of sharp eyespot was determined in the period 2006–2008, on commercial fields of spring cereals, localized in northern and central Poland. Percent of infected stems, and the disease index were evaluated. Occurrence of sharp eyespot on spring cereals, especially on oat, was low. Slight infection was mostly observed. In some farm fields, disease symptoms were not observed. A significant difference...
Four soil-borne cereal viruses have been identified in Poland, so far: Soil-borne cereal mosaic virus (SBCMV), Wheat spindle streak mosaic virus (WSSMV), Barley yellow mosaic virus (BaYMV) and Barley mild mosaic virus (BaMMV). SBCMV was identified in 1993 as a dangerous pathogen of winter cereals and became the object of special interest. Studies on the virus included its biological and molecular...
One of common cereal pests in Poland are flies of the Agromyzidae family. The larvae of these flies is the stage which is harmful. Leaf miner larvae feeding on the leaf parenchyma cause characteristic damage (mines). Their widespread occurrence contributes to a reduction in leaf assimilation surface. Leaf miner larvae mostly damage first-flag and second leaves. Their damage has a negative effect on...
Phytophthora citrophthora was isolated from grafted lilac (Syringa vulgaris). Showing browning of leaf blade edge and necrosis spreading on all leaves. On the stem bases, beginning from the grafted place, necrosis had even spread 20 cm upward, whereas root stock shoots and roots were healthy. Using rhododendron leaves as the bait, Phytophthora citrophthora was isolated from soil where growing plants...
Insect growth regulators generally have a selective effect on the target insects and have practically no apparent side effect on non-target organisms especially vertebrates. Hence, insect growth regulators could be a suitable choice to control pests in stored products. Ten-day-old larvae of Indian meal moth Plodia interpunctella (Hübner) were expressed to the juvenile hormone analogue pyriproxyfen...
A total of seventeen isolates of Aspergillus flavus from maize were collected from different agro-ecological zones of Tamil Nadu, India. The isolates were tested for their ability to produce aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in vitro by indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The amount of AFB1 produced by the isolates of A. flavus ranged from 1.9 to 206.6 ng/ml. Among the various isolates...
70 samples of insects caught in a Johnson suction trap were taken during the vegetative period in 2009. The trap was sited in the Experimental Station Institute of Plant Protection – National Research Institute in Winna Góra, Poland. The samples contained 2 869 beetles (Coleoptera) of which 393 (13.7%) are known as stored product pests. 63 specimens of beetle Rhizopertha dominica (F.) were caught...
The susceptibility of the nut-leaf weevil, Strophosoma melanogrammum (Forster) (Coleoptera; Curculionidae) to the selected strains of Beauveria bassiana (Bals.-Criv.) Vuillemin, Isaria farinosa (Holm) Brown & Smith, I. fumosorosea (Wize) Brown & Smith, Metarhizium anisopliae (Metschnikoff) Sorokin and M. flavoviride Gams & Rozsypal, was tested under laboratory conditions. Two ways of insect...
Few studies have characterize the toxicological effects of exposure to pesticide mixtures. For this reason, the present study aimed to estimate the median lethal doses (LD50) of some new pesticide mixtures; chlorosan, feroban, cygron, engeo and kingbo on albino rats. The in vivo effect of these compounds on some biochemical targets were also investigated. The estimated median lethal doses (LD50) of...
Pepino mosaic virus (PepMV) has the potential to cause serious tomato disease. Several isolates of PepMV were collected beetween 2003–2010 in the Department of Virology and Bacteriology, Institute of Plant Protection – National Research Institute, Poznań, Poland. The isolates were obtained from greenhouse tomato plants (Solanum lycopersicum) collected from different regions of Poland. Clear biological...
The effect of the forecrop and differentiated chemical plant protection on the intensity of fungal leaf diseases of winter wheat were studied from 1999–2008. Five (I–V) separate experiments were conducted in Mazury (Szestno I,), Żuławy Wiślane (Lisewo II), and Powiśle (Wielgłowy III, IV and Radostowo V). The intensity of diseases varied. Powdery mildew (Blumeria graminis) was noted in relatively low...
Laboratory studies were carried out to compare the toxicity of the chloronicotinyl insecticide, imidacloprid on parasitoids. The studies took place at the Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore from 2006–2007. Imidacloprid was tested against three beneficial insects viz., an egg parasitoid, egg larval parasitoid and a larval parasitoid representing two families of Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae...
Methanolic extract of Artemisia annua L. were evaluated on growth and nutritional efficiency of lesser mulberry pyralid Glyphodes pyloalis (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) in laboratory conditions (24±1°C, 75±5% RH and 16 L : 8 D). Feeding deterrence index was evaluated by a choice test method on < 24 h fifth instar larvae with 5, 2.5, 1.25 and 0.625 percent of the extract. The result indicated that increasing...
Spray forms of various chemical compounds including compounds of plant origin, molluscicides, and insecticides were tested in order to investigate their possibilities for reducing damage to young rape plants caused by the slug Arion lusitanicus Mabille, 1868. Among them, abamectin (0.2%), methiocarb (0.5%) and metaldehyde (1.0%) reduced damage to the plants, although metaldehyde remained active for...
Forage legumes are used to enhance soil fertility of the agroecosystem. Understanding their effect on the agroecosystem during their growing period is essential. The objective of this field study was to evaluate annual clovers intercropping and earthworm activity on the growth of weeds. The field experiment was carried out during the 2006–2007 growing seasons at the research farm of the Seed and Plant...
Isolates of Fusarium from rice, sugarcane and maize were identified as F. verticillioides, F. sacchari, F. proliferatum F. subglutinans, F. fujikuroi and F. oxysporum. The species were then characterized by restriction analysis of intergenic spacer (RFLP-IGS) using AluI, Eco88I, RsaI and XhoI. Twenty-five haplotypes were identified among the isolates of Fusarium which indicated high levels of variations...
