The prevalence of Meloidogyneincognita, a severe root-knot nematode, is alarmingly high in the production of ginger—a main cash crop of Himachal Pradesh, a Himalayan state of India. In order to control this through natural means, the nematicidal potential of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) against M.incognita was analyzed. This is an ef...

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) can ensure the sustainability of agricultural growth. The objectives of this study were to characterize and determine the effects of Bacillus subtilis, isolate IMA Bs/170005, applied as co-inoculant in the soybean planting furrow. In all treatments, the seeds had been pre-inoculated with Bradyrhizobium ja...

Rhizome rot is the leading debilitating disease affecting ginger, prevalent in various regions of India where the crop is cultivated. This term refers to all diseases impacting the rhizome, regardless of the pathogens involved, as they ultimately result in partial or total rhizome loss. The disease arises from the interaction of multiple pathogens, creating a complex scenario that complicates management strategies. The specific pathogens involved influence both the nature of the damage and the symptoms exhibited. The present study carried out to understand the complex nature of the disease and pathogens involved in the disease development. Molecular characterization identified the causative organisms at the species level, including Pythium aphanidermatum, Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium solani, Sclerotium rolfsii, Ralstonia solanacearum, Meloidogyne hapla, and Meloidogyne enterolobii.
