... Varying levels (10⁵ to 10⁷/egg) of Salmonella Typhimurium were inoculated onto fertile hatching eggs by immersion. After this, the inoculated eggs were untreated (control), water treated, hydrogen peroxide (1.5%) treated, or Timsen treated (n-alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride as a commercial bactericide-fungicide). Hydrogen peroxide was superior to Timsen as an egg treatment to eliminate art ...
... Based on preliminary results on antioxidant enzymes the present investigations were focused on the changes in peroxidase activities during the infection process and disease development. Assays were performed with apple seedlings and cultivars grown under greenhouse conditions as well as with in vitro plantlets ('Golden Delicious', 'Pinova', 'Greensleeves', 'M26'). The influence of pesticides, e.g. ...
... An "advance" is defined as any technology that leads to an increase in production of Kappaphycus alvarezii (Doty) Doty, K striatum Schmitz and Eucheuma denticulatum (Burman) Collins et Harvey (commercial eucheumatoid species) per unit time, effort, area and cost in more than one cultivation area. The present review has shown that no true advances have taken place in commercial eucheumatoid farming ...
... Alternative control agents, including UV-type C (254 nm) irradiation, yeasts antagonistic to fungal growth, chitosan and harpin, were evaluated for their ability to induce resistance in cv. Red Delicious apple fruit against postharvest blue mold caused by Penicillium expansum. Freshly harvested and controlled atmosphere (CA)-stored fruit were treated with these agents at different doses and concen ...

Abstract:
... Human health and environmental concerns have led to the eventual phase-out of benomyl (Benlate) and vinclozolin (Ronilan), two efficaceous, broad spectrum fungicides widely used on a range of crops, including snap beans. With fewer registered fungicides available for mold control, snap bean growers are in need of alternatives. We compared six foliar fungicides against Ronilan for gray (Botrytis ci ...
... This study examined the mechanisms by which nitrogenous amendments such as meat and bone meal kill the soilborne plant pathogen Verticillium dahliae. The effect of nitrogen products from the amendments on the survival of microsclerotia of V. dahliae was examined by solution bioassay and soil microcosm experiments. Ammonia and nitrous acid but not their ionized counterparts, ammonium and nitrite, w ...

Abstract:
... Fire blight, caused by Erwinia amylovora, is the most serious bacterial disease of pear and apple trees. Biological control with strains of Pantoea agglomerans (syn. Erwinia herbicola) may provide an effective disease management strategy for fire blight. Most strains of P. agglomerans evaluated for suppression of fire blight produce compounds that inhibit the growth of E. amylovora in culture. The ...
... A set of N-arylbenzenesulfonamides with various substituents at the arylamine and benzenesulfonyl positions were prepared, and their antifungal properties were measured in vitro against such plant pathogenic fungi as Pythium ultimum, Phytophthora capsici, Rhizoctonia solani, and Botrytis cinerea. Compounds 3, 4, 8, 9, 10, 14, 16, 18, 20, 21, 24 and 27 had antifungal activity over a broad spectrum ...
... The effects of γ-decalactone and δ- decalactone on fungal growth and aflatoxin biosynthesis in Aspergillus flavus were studied. The two compounds delayed spore germination and reduced the fungal growth rate at concentration levels between 300 and 500 ppm. γ-Decalactone completely inhibited germination and growth at 500 ppm. Aflatoxin B1 biosynthesis was inhibited by 57-100%, depending on the conce ...
... Asian pear production in Thailand is very small compared with the production in some Asian countries, like Korea, Japan, China and India. In the South East Asian region, Thailand and Myanmar grow the Asian pear. The production of Asian pear in Thailand is confined to the highland areas in northern Thailand, where the climate is rather mild and a period of chilling occurs in winter to break bud dor ...

Abstract:
... The onset of the production of nuts in commercial quantities in Australia (1996) coincided with the advent of symptoms of decline, dieback, internal staining, trunk and limb lesions and, in some instances, tree death. This disease has been termed "pistachio dieback". Bacteria of the genus Xanthomonas have been identified as the most probable causal agents of pistachio dieback in Australia. Xanthom ...
... In previous studies, immersion in hydrogen peroxide and phenol reduced Salmonella-positive eggs without reducing hatchability. This study was carried out to determine if three consecutive dips in a chemical was more effective than a single immersion to eliminate Salmonella from hatching eggs. Eggs were inoculated with a marker strain of Salmonella typhimurium by submerging the egg in a solution co ...

Abstract:
... PURPOSE This qualitative study was conducted with African Americans with type 2 diabetes to explore beliefs and attitudes about depression. METHODS Twenty-five adults participated in 4 focus groups. The sessions were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed. The Health Belief Model was used as a theoretical framework for the design and analysis of the focus group data. RESULTS Five themes pertinent to ...

Abstract:
... Fluorescent Pseudomonas spp. are described which are effective for the control of diseases caused by the soil-borne fungus, Gaeumannomyces graminis (Gg), such as take-all, in small grain crops or turf grass. The subject biocontrol strains have a unique genotype as shown by a characteristic banding pattern, and exhibit root-colonizing ability which is characterized by both higher population density ...
