“…Occasionally fruit skin is affected and cracked open (Rabinowitch et al 1983). Presence of air pollutants such as peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN) is reported to cause stunting, chlorosis and even senescence in the chilli plant leaves (Goyal et al 2020).…”

India is amongst the top countries consuming, producing and exporting chillies. Chilli (Capsicum annuum), known as chilli peppers, belongs to the family Solanaceae. Heavy losses have been observed in the yield due to diseases caused by bacterial, fungal and viral pathogens. Over utilization of synthetic agents to control these diseases causing pathogens have raised serious biological and ecological issues. Along these lines, late endeavours have been centred on utilizing natural ways for controlling plant pathogens. Interest in biological control using microbial agents has increased over the past years as an alternative to chemicals which are toxic to the environment and lead to the development of resistant pathogenic populations. Biological control using microorganisms is a more environmentally friendly alternative and is utilized either on its own or as a part of integrated management strategy to reduce the use of synthetic agents. This research approach reviews various pathogen causing diseases in the Capsicum annuum, toxicity of the chemical agents used for controlling the pathogens and the biocontrol agents against chilli phytopathogens along with their suggested mode of action. This article will deepen our knowledge about the consistent beneficial effects of microbial biocontrol agents.

“…The absorption and concentration of various pollutions such as airborne metals in plants depend on different factors. These factors include air and soil conditions, climate and environmental factors, foliar and root pathway uptake, the bioavailability of pollutions in the soil, sources and amount of pollutants in the environment, and plant characteristics (such as age, foliage and branch configuration, physiological, morphological and anatomical characteristics of leaf, phyllosphere conditions) [14][15][16]. In previous studies, the ability of various trees to remove toxic and detrimental pollutants from the air has been investigated in many urban and industrial zones [11].…”

Background: In the present study, the tolerance of plantain tree species (Platanus orientalis, Morus nigra and Ailanthus altissima) to air pollution was evaluated using Air Pollution Tolerance Index (ATPI) and Anticipated Performance Index (API) index in Isfahan city (Iran). Methods: For this purpose, three dominant trees growing at six stations in Isfahan was selected and then sampling of the tree leaves was performed, after being transferred to the laboratory, the ATPI and API index were calculated. Results: The results of calculating the ATPI in the leaves of M. nigra, P. orientalis and A. altissima species showed that the highest values of ATPI index was obtained in M. nigra at 20.77 and then detected in P. orientalis and A. altissima with the values 14.90 and 14.33 respectively. According to API values Morus nigra had the best performance (Score = 6 so it classified as the Excellent) while P. orientalis and A. altissima had very good and intermediate performance, respectively. Conclusion: According to ATPI and API index most tolerant tree species was Morus nigra, so it would be the most suitable species for plantation programme in urban and pollutant areas followed by Platanus orientalis and Ailanthus altissima. As well as our results suggest that Platanus orientalis and Ailanthus altissima can be used as bio-indicators of air pollution due to their low ATPI scores (lower than 16). The present study suggests that the combination of both the ATPI and API indices for identifying and selection of plant species is very useful for plantation in urban areas.
