Journal ArticleDOI
Rock inhabiting potassium solubilizing bacteria from Kerala, India: characterization and possibility in chemical K fertilizer substitution.
Indira Parameswaran Anjanadevi,Neetha Soma John,Kuzhivilayil Susan John,M. L. Jeeva,Raj Shekhar Misra +4 more
TL;DR: The role of rock inhabiting bacteria in potassium (K) solubilization from feldspar and their application in crop nutrition through substitution of fertilizer K was explored through the isolation of 36 different bacteria from rocks at Ponmudi in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of Trichoderma isolates against Sclerotium rolfsii, the collar rot pathogen of Amorphophallus – A polyphasic approach
Neetha Soma John,Indira Parameswaran Anjanadevi,Vishnu Sukumari Nath,Senthil Alias Sankar,M. L. Jeeva,K. Susan John,Raj Shekhar Misra +6 more
TL;DR: This is the first report of intensive characterization of Trichoderma strains with the integration of the above data sets against S. rolfsii, in an attempt to explore their biocontrol potential in managing collar rot disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of Trichoderma spp. antagonistic to Phytophthora colocasiae associated with leaf blight of taro
Vishnu Sukumari Nath,Neetha Soma John,Indira Parameswaran Anjanadevi,Vinayaka Hegde,M. L. Jeeva,Raj Shekhar Misra,S S Veena +6 more
TL;DR: The most potent strain overall (TR7) identified as T. harzianum was able to control P. colocasiae in vivo also and could be used as a promising candidate for biological control of taro leaf blight disease.
Journal Article
Isolation and Characterization of N Fixing Bacteria from Elephant Foot Yam (Amorphophallus paeoniifolius (Dennst.)Nicolson) Growing Regions of South India
TL;DR: Morphological and molecular characterization of the two potent bacterial strains led to the identification of them as Bacillus cereus strain ANctcri-1 (HQ286640) and Pseudomonas aeuroginosa ANctCri-11 (JX974833).
Journal Article
Efficacy of cassava by-products as carrier materials of Trichoderma harzianum, a biocontrol agent against Sclerotium rolfsii causing collar rot in Amorphophallus.
TL;DR: Investigation of cassava by-products found that T. harzianum mixed in cassava seed oil had the longest shelf-life and antagonistic activity extending to more than an year, whereas this was least for the antagonist formulated in Cassava thippy.
