Effect of bottlegourd seedcoating with antagonists on seedlings, quantum of the pathogen inside the seedlings and population of the soil againstFusarium oxysporum
Bottlegourd seedlings raised from antagonists coated seeds did not show any wilting symptoms and remained completely healthy. The pathogen quantum inside the host tissue was found least. The pathogen propagules per gram of host tissue were restricted and the soil population of theFusarium oxysporum was reduced very much in antagonists introduced soil.
Cucurbitaceous Vegetable Crops
Economic importance and losses, symptoms/damage, pre-disposing factors, epidemiology, survival and spread, and biointensive integrated management of insect and mite pests, fungal, bacterial, viral/mycoplasma diseases, nematode pests, and disease complexes of Cucurbitaceous vegetable crops (pumpkin, cucumber, water melon, musk melon, pointed gourd and bitter gourd) using physical methods, cultural methods, botanical pesticides, chemical pesticides, bioagents, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, and host resistance are discussed.
The risk of Listeria monocytogenes infection in beef cattle operations
Aim:  To determine the prevalence of Listeria monocytogenes and associated risk factors among beef operations (cow‐calf and feedlot) in central and southern California.
