Other claims from this paper (17)
- Observation Five chitinolytic fungal strains with nematicidal potential were identified from strawberry-growing soils.
- Observation A. oryzae had the highest chitinolytic activity (0.8427).
- Observation GC-MS revealed beneficial volatile metabolites in the fungal isolates.
- Observation All fungal isolates were safe at a 1 ml/rat dose in toxicological assessments.
- Intervention effect A. oryzae effectively prevented Meloidogyne javanica hatching in the lab.
- Intervention effect T. yunnanense had a high juvenile mortality rate of nematodes in the lab.
- Intervention effect A. niveus had a high juvenile mortality rate of nematodes in the lab, together with T. yunnanense.
- Intervention effect In greenhouse tests, A. niveus reduced root-knot nematode populations by 70%.
- Intervention effect P. lilacinum enhanced strawberry growth in field trials.
- Intervention effect A. oryzae enhanced strawberry growth in field trials.
- Intervention effect All fungal treatments decreased nematode populations by 25.3% to 63.1%.
- Intervention effect All fungal treatments improved total soluble solids, sugar content and firmness of strawberries.
- Intervention effect All fungal treatments improved vitamin C levels of strawberries.
- Intervention effect A. oryzae increased polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase activities in strawberry.
- Observation T. yunnanense produced high levels of phenolic compounds in strawberry.
- Intervention effect A. niveus raised proline content, enhancing plant resilience.
- Recommendation Chitinolytic fungi are suggested to provide sustainable solutions for nematode management.
