Growth and development of 2 pickleweed (Salicornia bigelovii Torr.) genotypes, a local wild type and cultivar, SOS-10, were studied under field conditions. When inoculated with the previously selected and cultivated native strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Azospirillum halopraeferens, the 2 pickleweed genotypes exhibited increases in some of the growth and development parameters measured, such as weight, plant length and biochemical characteristics, including total protein, ash and total lipid content in selected plant parts. Our findings suggest that yields of both genotypes of S. bigelovii, under field conditions, can be enhanced by the application of K. pneumoniae or A. halopraeferens strains. The potential usefulness of S. bigelovii for agricultural producers in coastal semi-arid zones has been shown elsewhere; our findings suggest that the establishment and growth of this halophyte can be experimentally improved using beneficial bacteria as auxiliary biofertilisers.

Capsicum annuum var. aviculare is one of the most extremely hot chilies, measuring between 50,000 and 100,000 Scoville Units. In the present work we studied the growth and development of chiltepin (Mazocahui), under field conditions, inoculated with previously selected and cultivated native strains of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and Azospirillum halopraeferens. The seed was inoculated by the vacuum technique, and later at 34, 120, 180 and 210 days after germination. A drip irrigation system with a salinity (TDS) = 0.8 ppt was used. The results show that germination is significantly favored by the promoter effect caused by the beneficial bacteria. These inoculants increased some parameters of growth and development. We found significant differences regarding the control for the total weight and length of root and stem of the plants, as well as the total content of proteins, and in some parts of the plant analyzed as stem and leaf. Both bacteria increased fruit yield in the Mazocahui genotype. Our findings suggest that the application of strains of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and Azospirillum halopraeferens, influence the increase in yield of Capsicum annuum var. aviculare, under field conditions. In addition, the data show the usefulness of the inoculation of chiltepin seed for agricultural producers in semi-arid areas where salinity is a problem.

Salinity-tolerant plants offer hope for the future of agriculture by providing solutions to the problems caused by years. Sonora is the most arid Mexican state. The agroindustrial halophytes are an option in dry-arid zones agriculture. In the present study, we evaluated the growth and development under different salinity and field conditions, of two beans (Phaseolus acutifolius) genotypes: Indio Yumi, and Navojoa. Seeds were inoculated with plant growth promoting halobacteria, a previously selected and cultivated strain of Azospirillum halopraeferens and a native Bacillus amyloliquefaciens. Significant differences were observed among them for weight and biomass, as well as biochemical features between the analyzed plant parts. Our findings suggest that a potential yield enhancement and protein production under field conditions can be promoted by the application of the beneficial bacterium B. amyloliquefaciens and A. halopraeferens. Also, demonstrated the ability of the studied beneficial halobacteria to promote growth and yield of the halotolerant Phaseolus acutifolius, a potentially useful finding for the agricultural growers in dry and semiarid zones.


Efficiency of new natural growth stimulator Raykat Start for seedling plant growing (tobacco) has been studied on the base of All-Russian research institute of tobacco makhorka and tobacco products. We used west-subcaucasian leached black soil on the experimental field. Laboratorial, greenhouse and field experiments have discovered that soaking seeds in solution with concentration of growth stimulator 0.0001 % during 6 hours leads to germs mass increasing by 70 %. Seeds treatment before sowing with efficient concentration of stimulator (0.0001 %) in combination with further double spraying (in basic stages ofplant development: “cotyledon” and “ready for transplanting” before pulling plants from seedbed) on plants until their total moistening of above earth plant parts leads to increasing plant length from collar to growing point by 32 %, to leaf tips - by 23 %, above earth plant mass - by 78 %, root mass - by 60 %, stalk diameter in collar part - by 25 %. It was also noticed significant decreasing of stalk and root decays (up to 52 %) in areas with plants treated by stimulator. Surviving of transplanted plants treated with Raykat Start was 95 %, they had increased growing and developing rates both in the beginning of field stage and in the end of vegetation. These led to increasing plant length, leaf area, which increased by 31 % and plant productivity which increased by 17.6 %.

The content of pectic substances (soluble pectins and fraction of protopectins) and calcium (free and bound) in field pea (<i>Pisum arvense</i> L.) leaves and stems during budding and flowering in field conditions was determined. In this experiment Gesagard 50 (S. A. - 50% prometryne) was applied to the soil in a weed control dose (2 kg/ha). An insignificant decrease of the content of protopectins and total pectins in leaves of the investigated plants (about 3-7% in relation to control) after application of this herbicide was noted, hut analogous changes in all years of the experiment were not observed in field pea stems. The influence of prometryne on the distribution of pectic substances in above-ground parts of the field pea and the degree of protopectins methylation were not corroborated. Neither did the total calcium content in the investigated plants change after application ofthe herbicide. These results show that application of Gesagard 50 in a weed control dose (2 kg/ha) in cultivation of field pea does not evoke changes in the investigated components content which might be of significance in the growth and development of plant cells and immunity reactions of plants.

Effects of severe and moderate copper deficiency on the development of leaves and lateral branches, on the distribution of dry weight within the plant, and on seed yield of Seaton Park subterranean clover were assessed as part of three glasshouse experiments. Copper deficiency markedly depressed top and root growth without producing any distinctive symptoms. It retarded phasic development by delaying development of leaves and lateral branches, senescence of plant parts, and flowering: it also depressed the proportion of stem plus petiole in plant tops and decreased internode elongation, pollen fertility and the number of burrs and seeds formed. As a result of its effect in delaying flowering, copper deficiency would depress seed production particularly strongly when low soil water supply shortens the growing season. The need for suitable procedures for diagnosing copper deficiency is emphasized by the lack of specific plant symptoms in this species.

In the present investigation, the dynamics of steviol glycosides (stevioside and rebaudioside-A) of Stevia rebaudiana with their growth stages were studied. The study aimed to examine the best stage of harvesting (month of the year) the crop with respect to maximum accumulation of stevioside and rebaudioside-A content in different plant parts (leaves, green stem and woody stem). The results showed that the maximum stevioside content in leaves (8.55%) was found in June month (vegetative stage). Rebaudioside-A content in leaves (7.00%) was at its peak in August (vegetative stage). Whereas, higher stevioside and rebaudioside-A content was found for green stem (0.93%) and woody stem (0.18%) during September month (flowering stage). Leaves showed maximum yields of stevioside (17.60g) and rebaudioside-A (13.75g) per plant in July month. The study indicated that it is economical to harvest the leaves of S. rebaudiana rather than harvesting whole aerial biomass in vegetative phase (July month).

Influence of Lignosilicon – plant growth and development activator, synthesized by IWC on the basis of wood chemical processing waste, and "Azotobakterin" bacterial products commercially produced by Bioefekts Ltd, on oats quality and harwest were tested in field conditions. Products were added to oat seeds into the box of seeding – machine before sowing. Three variants (each field of 1 ha) with different dosages of products applied were used: 10 and 40 kg/ha of lignosilicon and 400 g/ha of azotobacterin. It was shown that on the background of all products tested the harvest of oat increased significantly, vegetation time shortened, plant resistance to diseases increased, grain quality improved; most of all this indices changed positively on the background of lignosilicon (dosage of 40 kg/ha). The results obtained have demonstrated that lignosilicon and azotobacterin has good prospects for biological agriculture.

<p>Phytophthora palmivora<em> is a pathogen</em><em>ic fungus</em><em> that causes pod rot and stem cancer in cacao plant. This pathogen was difficult to control because it survives in the form of mycelium and chlamydospores in infected plant parts or in soil. </em>Trichoderma viride<em> is expected to inhibit the growth and development of this pathogen. The study aimed to determine the effectiveness of </em>T. viride<em> in inhibiting </em>P. palmivora<em> infection on cacao, conducted at Plant Protection Laboratory and Greenhouse of Indonesian Industrial and Beverage Crops Research Institute (IIBCRI), Sukabumi from March to December 2014. The </em>T. viride<em> TNU isolates used was purified and propagated in the laboratory. The </em>T. viride<em> inhibition against  </em>P. palmivora<em> growth and development was tested in vitro on potato dextrose agar medium (PDA) and in vivo on infected cacao pods and seedlings. The parameters observed were percentage of inhibition on PDA and the disease progression on infected pods and seedlings. The results showed that </em>T. viride<em> inhibited the growth of </em>P. palmivora<em> with inhibition percentage up to 68.60%, a strong antagonist for </em>P. palmivora<em> on PDA and reduced </em>P. palmivora<em> infection on seedlings in the greenhouse. Applications of </em>T. viride<em> 3 days before or after inoculation with </em>P. palmivora<em> was able to protect cacao seedlings in polybags, respectively by 60% and 45%. However, </em>T. viride<em> has not been able to hinder the development of pod rot disease on cacao.</em><em></em></p>
