Stress factors occurring during the growing season and potato storage, can negatively affect the quality of tubers, including an increased tendency to enzymatic darkening. Abiotic stress due to water shortage is a major factor limiting agricultural production. The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of cultivation technology based on t...

As a polyphagous organism, Rhizoctonia is one of the most infectious soil-borne pathogens for many plant species. To reduce this threat to plants and hence provide good quality plant products for the end-user, it is crucial to develop sophisticated and environmental friendly plant protection methods. One such method is biological control using bene...

Rhizoctonia cerealis and Rhizoctonia solani are considered to be among the most harmful soil-borne pathogens for crop plants globally. The lack of effective protection and the requirement to minimize the use of chemical pesticides necessitate the need to develop alternative protective methods. One such method is resistance breeding against biotic a...

There is a growing demand for high quality and sustainable food in the world and this need falls within the context of the European Green Deal’s strategy “From Farm to Fork”. In order to achieve these outcomes, the use of modern and innovative technologies of plant production and protection is required. The use of nanoparticles (NPs) in agriculture...

Actinomycetes were screened from soil in the centre of Poland on chitin medium. Amongst 30 isolated strains one with high activity of chitinase was selected. It was identified as Streptomyces sporovirgulis. Chitinase activity was detected from the second day of cultivation, then increased gradually and reached maximum after 4 days. The maximum chit...
