Significant amount of crops yield are lost in the world constantly due to fungal pathogens that inhibit plants in the process of growth or affect harvested products. Rhamnolipids that are detergents produced by bacteria may be efficient environmental friendly alternative of chemical fungicides conventionally used to suppress pathogens. In the present study, the influence of treatment of Fusarium infected cherry tomatoes (Lycopersicon lycopersicum) plants and fruits by a rhamnolipid produced by Pseudomonas fluoresc...

Biochar is a product of pyrolysis of biomass such as plant residues, organic wastes or etc. Being highly porous material that slowly releases nutrients, biochar is considered as an effective alternative fertilizer. It is reported that biochar properties are depending on the pyrolysis regime (e.g. pyrolysis peak temperature and duration), however information about quantitative dependences remains poor, especially for biochars made of specific substrates such as chicken manure. In this study, properties of biochars ...
