  1. 1. Investigating fungicide resistance of Alternaria solani, a Solanaceae pathogen, on potato crops in south-eastern Sweden and its relationship with soil

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Protection Biology

    Author : Emma Lefèvre; [2023]
    Keywords : Alternaria solani; fungicide resistance; Fluopyram; mycelial growth; type of soil; soil conditions;

    Abstract : Alternaria solani is a worldwide present fungus that can cause a lot of damage such as early blight in potato crops. Potato can suffer a lot of yield losses because of this pathogen, and the main method used today to fight against it, is the application of fungicides. READ MORE

  3. 2. Exploration of ways to utilize wheat chaff through fungal substrate conversion : a base for animal feed or substrate for cultivation of edible mushrooms

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Caroline Sandberg; [2022]
    Keywords : harvest residues; chaff; oyster mushroom; agro-waste reduction; mushroom production;

    Abstract : The shift towards a more sustainable food system emphasises a need for increased circularity and valorisation of available resources. Chaff constitutes one of three main fractions obtained upon harvest of certain crops, during which it is generally discarded on the field. READ MORE

  4. 3. A molecular analysis of the interaction between the biocontrol fungus Clonostachys rosea and the cereal pathogen F. graminearum

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant Pathology

    Author : Esther Kuper; [2021]
    Keywords : Agrobacterium- mediated transformation; Biocontrol; Clonostachys rosea;

    Abstract : Modern agriculture is increasingly challenged by newly emerging crop diseases- many of them caused by fungal pathogens. At the same time, excessive application of chemical fungicides accelerates the development of resistant pathogen strains and may cause harmful effects on non-target organisms. READ MORE

  5. 4. Preparation of films and nonwoven composites from fungal microfibers grown in bread waste

    University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi
