Preliminary data on Plasmopara halstedii pathotype distribution in central Italy in 2020-2022
Downy mildew of sunflower is caused by the oomycete Plasmopara halstedii (Farl.) Berl. et de Toni. Italy has seen an increase in mildew infections in parallel with the spread of the crop. In the present situation, there is a substantial lack of information that could help farmers and researchers…

Bionomics of wheat seed gall nematode Anguina tritici
The wheat seed gall nematode Anguina tritici is a scientifically interesting nematode due to its aerial parasitic behaviour and ability to survive for years under desiccated conditions in seed galls. However, Anguina's life cycle and its correlation with host-plant growth and environment are poorly…

Herbicide resistant grain sorghum: Opportunities and challenges
Focus on impoverished crops for sustainable food and nutritional security, especially sorghum, becomes increasingly important in the changing climate regime. Grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) is a vital cereal crop that could endure an array of biotic and abiotic stresses and is well-suited to…

Role of the Arabidopsis At2g21490 dehydrin gene in enhancing tolerance to copper and zinc stress in transgenic tobacco plants
We studied the role of the Arabidopsis At2g21490 (DH2) histidine-rich dehydrin gene in plant responses to copper and zinc stress. Transgenic plants overexpressing the DH2 gene were generated via Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. Progeny from both transgenic and non-transgenic (control) plants…

A green approach: Effects of organic weed control on weed diversity and phenology
A long-term experiment in the maise-pea cropping system was conducted in Palampur from October 2019 to September 2021 as part of the All India Coordinated Research Project on Weed Management (AICRP-WM). Ten methods for managing weeds, namely, T1 - hoeing, T2 - raised stale seedbed + hoeing, T3 -…

Bacterial etiology of leaf galls of oleander (Nerium oleander L.) in Poland
In the spring of 2022, small, regular, brownish spots of parenchymatous galls on leaves of oleander plants were observed on Nerium oleander L. cv. Emile Sahut. Bacterial isolates were obtained from diseased samples. The 16S rRNA sequence analysis and concatenated data set of housekeeping genes…

Characterisation of Colletotrichum species associated with anthracnose disease in red chilli pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) in the South of Vietnam and the effectiveness of the consortium Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and Pseudomonas fluorescens
Anthracnose is one of the most destructive diseases that limits pepper production and quality worldwide. In this study, the causal agent of anthracnose in red chilli pepper in Southern Vietnam was collected and identified based on morphological characteristics and multilocus sequence regions (ITS…

Flavonoids as bio-insecticides: Harnessing plant metabolites as a biochemical shield against insects
The global decline in crop production poses a significant threat to food security, particularly in the context of a growing human population. Among various environmental constraints on agriculture, biotic stress, particularly that caused by insect pests, remains a major reason for yield losses…

Interaction of seaweed metabolites with plants to enhance protection against biotic and abiotic stresses
Biotic and abiotic stresses severely compromise economically important food crops' nutritional quality, growth, and yield. Conversely, the conventional reliance on chemical fertilisers and pesticides has generated substantial environmental and health risks, necessitating the development of…

An investigation of the presence of Xylella fastidiosa in Cicadomorpha specimens collected in different habitats in Poland
A quarantine organism, the bacterium Xylella fastidiosa (Xf), is a xylem-inhabiting, vector-transmitted, Gram-negative, and very slow-growing bacterium in the Lysobacteraceae (earlier Xanthomonadaceae) family. The spreading of X. fastidiosa over long distances occurs mainly via import/export…

Azadirachtin as a sustainable tool for zero pesticide residue production: Residue dissipation in open-field tomato production
The growing demand for vegetables free from pesticide residues has fuelled the search for sustainable pest management solutions. This study assessed the efficacy of azadirachtin, a neem-derived biopesticide, in achieving no detectable pesticide residues in tomato production under open-field…

Effects of aqueous extracts of Dittrichia viscosa (Asteraceae) and insecticides on life history traits of Chaitophorus leucomelas (Insecta: Aphididae)
Methods used to control insect pests have been mainly chemical. Given the irritations associated with the use of pesticides, a search for alternatives is required, particularly through the use of plant extracts. The present study focused on comparing the insecticidal power of the aqueous extracts…

Allelopathic potential of Turnera subulata leaf extract on choy sum (Brassica chinensis var. parachinensis) via untargeted metabolomics
Allelopathic plants release phytotoxic compounds that contribute to their invasiveness by suppressing nearby species. However, it remains unclear which exact mode of action (MOA) underlies the allelopathy. This study explores the allelopathic mechanisms of Turnera subulata on the recipient…

Characterisation of strawberry mild yellow edge virus isolates detected for the first time in Poland
Strawberry mild yellow edge virus (SMYEV) was detected in 116 samples out of 423 collected from strawberry plants grown in commercial and experimental plantations in seven provinces of Poland. The number of samples infected with strawberry mottle virus (SMoV) accounted for 84.6% of the 26…

Occurrence of the white cochineal Parlatoria blanchardi in the fur of the black rat and potential risks for its spread to the date palm stands
The current study presents the first documented interaction between the date palm scale insect (Parlatoria blanchardi) and the black rats (Rattus rattus). For a year, this study investigated whether R. rattus could serve as a means of phoresy for the survival of P. blanchardi and the potential…

The cultural control of some important pests in cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.) and onion (Allium cepa L.) using companion plants
Cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.) and onion (Allium cepa L.) are two of the most important vegetables in the world, and many insect pests are a problem in their production. Currently, especially in Europe, restrictions on the use of pesticides are increasingly being encouraged, so the…

Biological activity of Paenibacillus polymyxa GT2 isolate from soil in Japan against anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum orbiculare in cucumber
Cucumber anthracnose is a destructive fungal disease caused by Colletotrichum orbiculare. Common control strategies include chemical fungicides. However, this can lead to the development of pathogenic resistance. Therefore, it is necessary to identify natural compounds or microorganisms to develop…
