“…These fungi mycoparasitize the pathogenic fungi via hyphae coiling and enabling enzymatic lysis through 1,3-glucanase, cellulase, chitinase, and proteinase (Jeffries and Young, 1994). Trichoderma species can also combat plant pathogens by exerting antagonism in the form of antibiosis; the production of antifungal metabolites such as trichodermin, gliotoxin, or viridin (Bruckner and Przybylski, 1984;Lorito et al, 1993); aggressive competition (Chet and Baker, 1981); induced host resistance (Yedidia et al, 1999;Mohiddin et al, 2010); enhanced host defense (Khan et al, 2001(Khan et al, , 2011; and reduction in host root exudation (Hussain et al, 1990). Research shows that seed and soil applications of different strains of T. harzianum and T. viride successfully control root rot and wilt disease caused by R. solani and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp.…”

The effects of Trichoderma harzianum, T. hamatum, T. viride, T. polysporum, and T. koningii on the wilt disease complex of chickpea caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceri and Rhizoctonia solani were investigated under field conditions during 2 consecutive years. Chickpea cultivar Avrodhi, grown in plots inoculated with F. oxysporum f. sp. ciceri and R. solani, showed chlorosis of leaves and wilting of foliage and exhibited a 22%-25% decrease in yield. Soil application of biocontrol agents (BCAs) checked the severity of wilt by 25%-56% and 39%-67% and increased the yield of chickpea by 12%-28% and 8%-24% in the 2 years, respectively. The disease control and yield enhancement were highest with T. harzianum, followed by T. hamatum and T. viride. Carbendazim treatment suppressed the disease by 20%-24%, leading to a 23%-28% improvement in the yield of chickpea. The BCAs established in the soil, and their rhizosphere populations, increased in the pathogen-infested plots. The study has demonstrated that T. harzianum, T. hamatum, and T. viride may perform as well as fungicide against wilt disease in chickpeas.

“…The fresh culture and formulations (Talc and Sodium alginate) of P.fluorescens isolate 2, significantly increased seed germination and seedling vigor over the control. Such plant growth promotion activities of P.fluorescens was reported in crops such as, rice, wheat, sorghum pearl millet, tomato, brinjal, chilli, redgram, cucumber and sunflower [25,37,38,39,[21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40]. The fresh cultures of the biocontrol agent were found to be best in reducing fusarium wilt under green house conditions.…”

Abstract-Pseudomonas fluorescens is one of the major fungal biocontrol agents found in the soil and the rhizosphere of various crop systems. Ten isolates of P.fluorescens were isolated from rhizosphere soil samples collected from various tomato-growing fields and evaluated for their efficacy in increasing seed quality variables of tomato and in inhibiting the mycelial growth of Fusarium oxysporum. Pseudomonas isolate 2 produced effective results and was selected and mass multiplied. Talc and sodium alginate formulations of mass multiplied using different agents were prepared and evaluated for their effects against fusarium wilt under greenhouse conditions. Fresh cultures of Pf2 isolate was found to increase seedling emergence and reduce fusarium wilt disease incidence when compared to the control and the formulations.

“…Therefore, alloxan induced diabetes is characterized by the drastic loss in body, liver, liver glycogen and in insulin as was seen in our results. Also, the increase in glucose was induced by alloxan (Abbasi et al, 2010;Hussain et al, 1990) Administration of alloxan causes decrease to 16mg/g in glycogen content due to enhanced glycogenolysis when compared to the normal 20.5mg/g, which is due to insulin deficiency.…”

Siddha traditional system of medicine, a science that uses herbal medicines extensively, originated in India. The present studies focus the anti-diabetic activity in Boerhavia diffusa, Momordica charantia and Carica papaya leaves; have been reported to be beneficial for treating type 2 diabetes induced by alloxan. Diabetes mellitus is one of the common metabolic disorders acquiring around 2.8% of the world's population and is anticipated to cross 5.4% by the year 2025. Since long back herbal medicines have been the highly esteemed source of medicine, there were many plant and plants phyto-constituents were used for anti diabetic activity. In this preliminary experimental study blood glucose, glycogen, cholesterol and the antioxidant activity (LPO) were studied and statistical analyses were carried out.
