  1. 1. The potential to use rhizobacteria within agricultural innovations instead of chemical inputs : taking quality and quantity of the crop into consideration

    University essay from SLU/Dept. Of Plant Biology

    Author : Ida Quisth; Isabella Ulfsparre; [2024]
    Keywords : Biocontrol; Biofertilizer; Biopesticide; Biostimulant; Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria; PGPR; Quality; Rhizosphere Microbiome; Yield;

    Abstract : Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are soil bacteria that occur naturally, colonize the roots of plants and can promote plant growth. PGPR isolated and used as inoculum to seed or plants is mostly marketed as a growth stimulant because it facilitates registration and reduces costs, even though PGPR may also serve as biocontrol products.

    Keywords : Biological control; ; Carrot; Clonostachys rosea; Drought; Lettuce; Meloidogyne hapla; Nematodes; Pot experiment;

    Abstract : The northern root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne hapla, is causing great economical losses to growers worldwide. There is a need for alternative control measures that are environmentally sustainable and effective against the nematode. READ MORE

  5. 4. 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

  6. 5. Evaluation of bee-vectored Aureobasidium pullulans for biocontrol of grey mould in strawberry

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Protection Biology
