“…This finding may indicate that the presence of flowering strips and intercropping can increase the risk of mollusc infestation in lettuce. Previous studies have shown that slugs can cause significant economic damage to a wide range of crops [64,65], including oilseed rape, vegetables, legumes, cereals, and fruits [66]. However, we could not find much published research on the effects of intercropping or flower strips on slugs to compare with our results.…”

Diversifying agroecosystems enhance the sustainability of agricultural production and reduce input dependency during agroecological transitions. To achieve this objective, a study was conducted to assess the impact of intercropping and the introduction of flowering plant strips on land use efficiency and crop damage in a lettuce and broccoli association. The results indicated that the introduction of flowering plant strips alone led to a significant increase in land use efficiency, while intercropping alone did not have any such effect. The efficiency was measured using the land use equivalent ratio (LER), which consistently showed values greater than 1, suggesting a significant increase in efficiency. It should be noted that the presence of flower strips in the crop fields were found to increase the incidence of molluscs and Plutella xyllostella. Additionally, the competitive ratio analysis revealed that broccoli was more competitive than lettuce in the intercropping system. Therefore, farmers can increase the efficiency of land use and profitability by incorporating flower strips in the intercropping systems of broccoli and lettuce.

“…Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a necrotrophic pathogen that can infect hundreds of host species, including important crops such as rape seed and tomato [30,51,52]. On vegetables, including tomatoes, infection with S. sclerotiorum can cause tremendous yield loss due to collapsing stems or damaged fruits [53,54]. Infection in the field can happen through air-dispersed ascospores or via myceliogenic germination of its overwintering structures in the soil, the so-called sclerotia [32,52].…”

Besides the well-understood qualitative disease resistance, plants possess a more complex quantitative form of resistance: quantitative disease resistance (QDR). QDR is commonly defined as a partial but more durable form of resistance and, therefore, might display a valuable target for resistance breeding. The characterization of QDR phenotypes, especially of wild crop relatives, displays a major bottleneck in deciphering QDR's genomic and regulatory background. Moreover, the relationship between QDR parameters, such as infection frequency, lag phase duration, and lesion growth rate, remains elusive. High hurdles for applying modern phenotyping technology, such as the low availability of phenotyping facilities or complex data analysis, further dampen progress in understanding QDR. Here, we applied a low-cost phenotyping system to measure lesion growth dynamics of wild tomato species (e.g.,S. pennelliiorS. pimpinellifolium). We provide insight into QDR diversity of wild populations and derive specific QDR strategies and their crosstalk. We show how temporally continuous observations are required to dissect end-point severity into functional resistance strategies. The results of our study show how QDR can be maintained by facilitating different defense strategies during host-parasite interaction and that the capacity of the QDR toolbox highly depends on the host's genetic context. We anticipate that the present findings display a valuable resource for more targeted functional characterization of the processes involved in QDR. Moreover, we show how modest phenotyping technology can be leveraged to help answer highly relevant biological questions.

“…Additionally, tomato products are known for their significant nutritional value as well as their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties ( Salehi et al, 2019 ) however, suffer greatly from various diseases such as early blight, caused by Alternaria solani which led to 80% loss in tomato yield production ( Pandey et al, 2020 ). Sclerotinia stem rot, caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum , is another serious disease that can have detrimental effects on tomato ( Mazumdar, 2021 ). Fusarium species are also notorious for their negative impact on agricultural food production, inducing decreased crop yields and economic losses ( Akpinar, Unal & Sar, 2021 ).…”

Adansonia digitata L. is a royal tree that is highly valued in Africa for its medicinal and nutritional properties. The objective of this study was to use its fruit shell extract to develop new, powerful mono and bimetallic nanoparticles (NPs) and biochar (BC) using an eco-friendly approach. Silver (Ag), iron oxide (FeO), the bimetallic Ag-FeO NPs, as well as (BC) were fabricated by A. digitata fruit shell extract through a reduction process and biomass pyrolysis, respectively, and their activity against tomato pathogenic fungi Alternaria sp., Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Fusarium equiseti, and Fusarium venenatum were detected by agar dilution method. The Ag, FeO, Ag-FeONPs, and BC were characterized using a range of powerful analytical techniques such as ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier Transform-Infra Red (FT-IR), dynamic light scatter (DLS), and zeta potential analysis. The fabricated Ag, FeO and Ag-FeO NPs have demonstrated a remarkable level of effectiveness in combating fungal strains. UV–Vis spectra ofAg, FeO, Ag-FeONPs, and BC show broad exhibits peaks at 338, 352, 418, and 480 nm, respectively. The monometallic, bimetallic NPs, and biochar have indicated the presence in various forms mostly in Spherical-shaped. Their size varied from 102.3 to 183.5 nm and the corresponding FTIR spectra suggested that the specific organic functional groups from the plant extract played a significant role in the bio-reduction process. Ag and Ag-FeO NPs exhibited excellent antifungal activity against pathogenic fungi Alternaria sp., S. sclerotiorum, F. equiseti, and F. venenatum. The current study could be a significant achievement in the field of antifungal agents since has the potential to develop new approaches for treating fungal infections.
