Opportunities and Challenges in Combining Optical Sensing and Epidemiological Modeling Open
Plant diseases impair the yield and quality of crops and threaten the health of natural plant communities. Epidemiological models can predict disease and inform management. However, data are scarce, because traditional methods to measure p…
Evaluation of <i>Trichoderma harzianum</i> mutant lines in the resistance induction against white mold and growth promotion of common bean Open
Genetic engineering has brought improvements of Trichoderma species for biotechnological processes such as agriculture. It has previously been reported that sm1 and aquaglyceroporin genes from Trichoderma harzianum are strongly expressed d…

BIOLOGICAL CONTROL: A QUICK LOOK IN THE ADVANCES OVER 30 YEARS Open
Biological control is still quite debatable and questioned, especially by producers who still do not see it as a viable and cheap alternative to the control of various types of diseases. Its beginning in the Brazilian market was quite cont…
Combining ability as a strategy for selecting common bean parents and populations resistant to white mold Open
Common bean parents and populations resistant to white mold (WM, caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum) were selected based on estimates of general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) for WM severity in three field nu…

Potential worldwide distribution of Fusarium dry root rot in common beans based on the optimal environment for disease occurrence Open
Root rots are a constraint for staple food crops and a long-lasting food security problem worldwide. In common beans, yield losses originating from root damage are frequently attributed to dry root rot, a disease caused by the Fusarium sol…

Diversity and Pathogenicity of Rhizoctonia Species from the Brazilian Cerrado Open
Eighty-one Rhizoctonia-like isolates were identified based on morphology and nuclei-staining methods from natural and agricultural soils of the Cerrado (Brazilian savanna). The nucleotide similarity analysis of ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 regions ident…
Dynamics of common bean web blight epidemics and grain yields in different tillage systems Open
The effects of tillage systems on the dynamics of web blight caused by Thanatephorus cucumeris and yield of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) cv. Pérola were studied in three field experiments during the planting seasons of 2004/2005, 2005/…
Response of soil fungi and biological processes to crop residues in no-tillage system Open
Soil management and crop rotation can directly affect the soil microbial community. This study aimed at determining soil quality indicators and soilborne fungi in a no-tillage system. A randomized blocks design, in a 3 × 2 factorial arrang…
