Zinc solubilizing bacteria and their potential as bioinoculant for growth promotion of green soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.)

PeerJ, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 11, С. e15128 - e15128

Zinc-solubilizing rhizobacteria can convert insoluble zinc to an accessible form and increase Zn bioavailability in soil, which help mitigate deficiency crops. In this work, 121 bacterial isolates were isolated from the rhizosphere soils of peanuts, sweet potatoes, cassava, their capability solubilize was evaluated using Bunt Rovira’s agar containing 0.1% ZnO ZnCO 3 . Among these isolates, six showed high solubilization efficiencies ranging 1.32 2.84 1.93 2.27 on medium supplemented with , respectively. a quantitative analysis soluble liquid ZnO, isolate KAH109 maximum concentration 62.89 mg L −1 also produced most indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) at 33.44 whereas KEX505 IAA 17.24 along showing potassium activity. These strains identified as Priestia megaterium aryabhattai based 16S rDNA sequence analysis. greenhouse experiment conducted Nakhon Pathom, Thailand ability P. stimulate growth production green soybeans examined. The results revealed that inoculation considerably increased plant dry weight by 26.96% 8.79%, respectively, number grains per 48.97% 35.29% when compared those uninoculated control. According results, both be considered potential solubilizing bioinoculant promote yield soybeans.

Human Health and Ecosystem Quality Benefits with Life Cycle Assessment Due to Fungicides Elimination in Agriculture

Sustainability, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 14(2), С. 846 - 846

Опубликована: Янв. 12, 2022

Industrial agriculture results in environmental burdens due to the overuse of fertilizers and pesticides. Fungicides is a class pesticides whose application contributes (among others) human toxicity ecotoxicity. The European Union aims increase organic agriculture. For this reason, work analyze climate change, freshwater ecotoxicity, terrestrial toxicity, (terrestrial) acidification, eutrophication impacts fungicides calculate expected benefits health (per citizen) ecosystem quality with life cycle assessment (LCA) during crop production. Scopus database was searched for LCA studies that considered specific crops. analysis shows how many systemic contact were by what applied dosage. Furthermore, it highly contribute fruits vegetables, but low extent compared all case cereals rapeseed. Expected after elimination are greater ranging between 0 47 min per citizen year 90 species year, respectively.

Inhibitory effect and mechanism of action of juniper essential oil on gray mold in cherry tomatoes

Frontiers in Microbiology, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 13

Опубликована: Сен. 23, 2022

Juniper essential oil (JEO), which is mostly known as an immune system booster and effective detoxifier, has substantial antimicrobial activity. A comparison of the inhibitory effects three plant oils from juniper (Juniperus rigida), cedarwood virginiana), cypress (Crupressus sempervirens) on four pathogenic fungi indicated that JEO was most at inhibiting growth gray mold (Botrytis cinerea). Additional studies were subsequently conducted to explore in vivo vitro antifungal activity possible mechanism against B. cinerea. The results show inhibited germination spores mycelial cinerea a concentration-dependent manner exhibited strong inhibition when its concentration exceeded 10 μL/mL. also significantly incidence disease diameters lesions cherry tomato fruit (Solanum lycopersicum). After 12 h treatment with JEO, extracellular conductivity, contents soluble protein, malondialdehyde, hydrogen peroxide 3.1, 1.2, 7.2, 4.7 folds higher than those control group, respectively (P < 0.05), can damage membranes. Scanning electron microscopy observations revealed affected morphology mycelia, causing them shrivel, twist distort. Furthermore, improved activities antioxidant-related enzymes superoxide dismutase catalase but reduced pathogenicity-related polygalacturonase (PG), pectin lyase endoglucanase 0.05). In particular, PG by 93% after for h. Moreover, 18 constituents identified gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis, mainly limonene (15.17%), γ-terpinene (8.3%), β-myrcene (4.56%), terpinen-4-ol (24.26%), linalool (8.73%), α-terpineol (1.03%), o-cymene (8.35%) other substances Therefore, be alternative prevent fruit.

Comparative Analysis of Environmental and Economic Performance of Agricultural Cooperatives and Smallholder Farmers for Apple Production in China

Agriculture, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 12(8), С. 1281 - 1281

Опубликована: Авг. 22, 2022

China is the world’s largest apple producer, and agricultural cooperatives play an important role in promoting sustainable production its whole life cycle system. However, few studies on have evaluated environmental economic performance from thinking perspective. In this study, combined methods of assessment (LCA) cost (LCC) were used to comparatively analyze between smallholder farmers. The results showed that, compared farmers, significantly reduced resource depletion impacts by 12.50–22.16% each category. total index for was 7.44% 22.09% lower than farmers; meanwhile, LCC 2659.71 Chinese Yuan (CNY), 19.27% net profit 2990.29 CNY cooperatives, 21.23% higher indicated that exhibited a while having input, impact, Moreover, pesticides fertilizers identified as most critical hotspots. human labor significant contributor These findings provide insights into optimizing farm inputs active participation alleviate multiple maintaining yield improving benefits, intending make marginal contribution development industry China.
