Efficacy of Bacillus subtilis strain QST 713 (Rhapsody) against four major diseases of greenhouse cucumbers
TL;DR: Preventative applications of Rhapsody were effective in reducing development of powdery mildew, Fusarium root and stem rot, and gummy stem blight on cucumber, while eradicative applications were effective against powdery Mildew only.
Book ChapterDOI
Management of Fungal Diseases on Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) and Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) Crops in Greenhouses Using Bacillus subtilis
Li Ni,Zamir K. Punja +1 more
TL;DR: The effectiveness of B. subtilis strain QST 713 against several important diseases of cucumber and tomato grown under greenhouse conditions was assessed and the potential for broad-spectrum activity against different pathogens on these crops is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of a foliar fertilizer containing boron on the development of Sclerotinia stem rot (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum) on canola (Brassica napus L.) leaves
Li Ni,Zamir K. Punja +1 more
TL;DR: Enhanced boron levels in canola leaves were associated with a suppressive effect on disease due to S. sclerotiorum, and there were no significant differences in lignin, peroxid enzyme (POD) or polyphenoloxidase (PPO) between the control and AF treatments.
Journal ArticleDOI
The bud rot pathogens infecting cannabis (Cannabis sativa L., marijuana) inflorescences: symptomology, species identification, pathogenicity and biological control
Zamir K. Punja,Li Ni +1 more
TL;DR: Pathogenicity studies conducted on fresh detached cannabis buds inoculated with spore suspensions or mycelial plugs showed that B. cinerea, S. sclerotiorum and F. graminearum were the most virulent, while B. porri and D. eres caused significantly less bud rot.
Journal ArticleDOI
Management of powdery mildew on greenhouse cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) plants using biological and chemical approaches
Li Ni,Zamir K. Punja +1 more
TL;DR: The efficacy of seven biological or chemical products to manage powdery mildew was evaluated and it was found that Rhapsody at a rate of 1.5% provided the most significant disease reduction compared with the other three biological products, although rates of 2% and 4% also resulted in high disease suppression in a second experiment.
