An Appealing Solution
The Banana and Its Disease Among fruit in the United States, bananas are top banana . Americans ate an average of 28.22 pounds of bananas in 2018—that's 80 bananas for each person—and a survey found that more people had bought bananas than any other fruit within the prior 12 months. Despite their popularity, the inexpensive snack (prices have remained at an average of $0.57 for the past 48 ...
Transforming Agriculture with Banana mulching and microbial solutions : A sustainable approach Innovative practices that enhance soil health and crop yields are crucial for sustainable agriculture ...
Boost Your Banana Crop with Microbebio
Our innovative approach is designed to optimize and enhance banana growth, yield, flavor, aroma, and shelf life while providing robust protection against harmful pests and diseases. Discover how our comprehensive suite of microbial solutions , applied at specific stages of growth, can transform your banana cultivation.
Fusarium wilt of banana is one of the debilitating diseases of banana , which is caused by a fungal pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc). Conventional management strategies to control Fusarium wilt have not provided adequate solution . It is essential to develop an environment-friendly, economically viable ready deployable solution to reduce disease severity in banana plants. The ...
(PDF) Antimicrobial Activity of Selected Banana Cultivars Against ...
List of banana cultivars studied for antimicrobial activity. Calculation of nonparametric correlation (Spearman r) between different plant parts and solvents.
Furthermore, there is a demand for the efficient and cheap antimicrobial compounds. To our knowledge, most previous reviews discussed the antioxidant capacity of this plant in detail, and few have mentioned its antimicrobial ability and the specific action of different banana extracts against foodborne pathogens.
Microbial priming of micro
Background and aims Nursery and field growth of micro-propagated banana plantlets is influenced by pests, nutrients and substrate quality. This study aims to evaluate the potential of locally produced microbial inoculant to reduce nematode and borer weevil (Cosmopolites sordidus) pest effects on micro-propagated banana plantlets and stimulate growth. Methods The potential of locally produced ...
Ten banana (Musa spp.) cultivars were studied for their antimicrobial properties. Three plant parts (corm, pseudostem and leaves) were collected separately and extracted with different solvents, viz., hexane, acetone, ethanol and water. The 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) was evaluated using a broth microdilution assay. Eight human bacterial and one fungal pathogen were tested. Acetone and ...
Designing a synthetic microbial community devoted to ...
Schematic representation of the steps of our research which led to the development of a synthetic microbial community namely SynCom 1.2 effective against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc) tropical race 4 (TR4) starting from the isolation of microorganisms from the banana rhizosphere.
Spatiotemporal application of two biocontrol strains, Piriformospore indica and Streptomyces morookaensis, inhibits the soil-borne fungus Foc TR4 growth and reduces Fusarium wilt of banana .
