Inhibition efficacy of Tetradium glabrifolium fruit essential oil against Phytophthora capsici and potential mechanism

Bi Wang et al.

Summary: The essential oil from Tetradium glabrifolium fruit (TFO) showed strong inhibitory efficacy against Phytophthora capsici, damaging the growth of the pathogen through various mechanisms such as disrupting its morphology and cell membrane integrity, as well as enhancing defense-related enzymes in host plants. The chemical composition of TFO, particularly D-limonene, beta-elemene, and 2-tridecanone, contributed to its antifungal activity, indicating its potential as an alternative approach for controlling phytophthora blight.

Overview of mechanisms and uses of biopesticides

Xiaoman Liu et al.

Summary: Biopesticides have shown to be effective in controlling agricultural diseases and insects. They are sourced from natural products and microorganisms, making them safer for non-target organisms and potentially suitable for organic agriculture. In China, biopesticides like Bacillus thuringiensis, Jinggangmycin, pyrethrins and brassinolide are being developed as alternatives to chemical pesticides.

pH modulation of the environment by Stagonosporopsis cucurbitacearum, an important pathogen causing fruit rot in Cucurbitaceae

S. Van Laethem et al.

Summary: Cucurbitaceae is a genetically diverse group of plants with important commodity crops like cucumber, pumpkin, and melon, but fruit rot caused by Stagonosporopsis spp. has become a major disease affecting yield. Research shows that the nitrogen source plays a key role in the growth and environmental pH regulation of Stagonosporopsis, with nitrate supply stimulating growth and ammonium supply seriously affecting it.

Phytotoxic Effects of Plant Essential Oils: A Systematic Review and Structure-Activity Relationship Based on Chemometric Analyses

Ahmed M. Abd-ElGawad et al.

Summary: This review discusses the phytotoxic essential oils (EOs) and their chemical compositions reported from 1972 to 2020, highlighting the importance of oxygenated terpenes, mono- and sesquiterpenes in the phytotoxicity of EOs. Monoterpenes such as pinene, 1,8 cineole, linalool, and carvacrol, as well as sesquiterpenes like caryophyllene and its derivatives, are identified as key components in the phytotoxicity of EOs. Further studies are recommended to evaluate the pure form activities, determine field application, assess safety, and understand modes of action for these compounds.

Botanical and chemical fungicides in the treatment of commercial seeds of Brachiaria brizantha and Panicum maximum

Patricia R. R. dos Santos et al.

Summary: Brazil is the world's largest producer, consumer, and exporter of forage seeds, but the high incidence of pathogens threatens the seed production system. This study evaluated the mycoflora associated with commercial seeds of Brachiaria brizantha and Panicum maximum treated with chemical and alternative fungicides. The fungicides and essential oils tested showed promise in reducing fungi associated with forage seeds and can be used for seed treatments.

Chemical Composition, Antioxidant, Antimicrobial, and Phytotoxic Potential of Eucalyptus grandis x E. urophylla Leaves Essential Oils

Lijun Zhou et al.

Summary: This study extracted essential oils from leaves of a unique hybridization of Eucalyptus grandis x E. urophylla, and evaluated its antioxidant, antimicrobial, and phytotoxic potential. The essential oil was found to be mainly composed of monoterpenes and possess good free radical scavenging ability, antimicrobial activity, and phytotoxicity against various plant pathogens. This research provides valuable insights for further exploration of the essential oil as a functional drug in agricultural and cosmetic industries.

Impact of growing seasons and pesticides used on the occurrence and severity of the gummy stem blight in melon cultivation in Brazil

Gil Rodrigues dos Santos et al.

Summary: Recent field experiments in the Brazilian Cerrado region showed that melon crops grown during the dry season had lower disease incidence compared to the rainy and transition periods. Effective pesticide management is important to mitigate the impact of gummy stem blight on crop productivity. Additionally, further research is needed to identify melon cultivars that are better suited for the region's conditions.

Biological control activity of Trichoderma asperelloides PSU-P1 against gummy stem blight in muskmelon (Cucumis melo)

On-Uma Ruangwong et al.

Summary: This study demonstrated the antifungal activity of Trichoderma asperelloides PSU-P1 against gummy stem blight in muskmelon plants, showing that the fungus inhibited the growth of Stagonosporopsis cucurbitacearum through mycoparasitism and enhanced defense response. This was achieved by producing defense-related enzymes and cell wall degrading enzymes, resulting in systemic resistance in muskmelon against the disease.
