1. ANTIFUNGAL ACTIVITIES OF ETHYL ACETATE FRACTION OF PSEUDOMONAS FLUORESCENS FERMENTATION BROTH AGAINST PHYTOPATHOGENIC FUNGI FROM ROTTEN YAM
ABSTRACT
Yam tubers are prone to infestation by microorganism at all stages of growth and in storage. This rot reduces the quality of yam and affects food security. Pseudomonas fluorescens possess varieties of promising antifungal properties through production of secondary metabolites w...
2. BIOCONTROL POTENTIAL OF BACILLUS THURINGIENSIS ISOLATED FROM SOIL SAMPLES AGAINST LARVA OF MOSQUITO
ABSTRACT
A major challenge for achieving successful mosquito control is overcoming insecticide resistance. Bacillus thuringiensis which is one of the most effective biolarvacide for control of species of mosquitoes and monitoring of larval susceptibility is essential to avoid resistance...
3. MOLECULAR AND PATHOLOGICAL DIFFERENTIATION OF COLLETOTRICHUM TRUNCATUM FROM SCENTLESS CHAMOMILE AND LEGUME CROPS
ABSTRACT
The fungus Colletotrichum truncatum is a potential biocontrol agent (BA) against the noxious weed scentless chamomile (Metricaria perforata Mérat; syn.: Tripleurospermum perforatum (Mérat) Lainz) in western Canada. This potential BA, however, is taxonomically rela...
