Graphene oxide- based coating for trunk canker treatment

Our research team developed a graphene-oxide-based coating to combat the fungal pathogens causing the cankers.

Zinc oxide nano suspension inhibited Mycelial growth rate of Neoscytalidium dimidiatum associated with pistachio dieback. 

penconazole enhances saffron’s drought tolerance by improving the activity of antioxidant enzymes and reducing oxidative stress, primarily in the fibrous roots.

Chitosan or azoxystrobin?

The fungicidal effects of chitosan surpassed those of the fungicide Azoxystrobin in the management of Rhizoctonia spp. associated with Rice fields. 

β-Cyclodextrin Nanovesicles

β-Cyclodextrin Nanovesicles achieved up to 87.2% efficacy against sclerotinia, outperforming standard fungicides like fluopyram and azoxystrobin.

Contrary to the common belief among agricultural experts, calcium does not confer disease resistance in all formulations. Calcium nitrate intensified the severity of Alternaria leaf spot on tomato plants. Therefore, it is recommended to use calcium oxide during periods of infection.
