Optimizing brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) health and yield through bio-organic amendments against Fusarium wilt

mycolabadmin

Farmers can protect their brinjal (eggplant) crops from a serious fungal disease called Fusarium wilt by adding organic materials like spent mushroom substrate mixed with biochar to their soil. These natural amendments not only reduce disease but also help plants grow better and produce higher yields, offering an eco-friendly alternative to chemical fungicides that can harm the environment and human health.

Integrated use of biochar, Cassia fistula, and Trichoderma for sustainable management of Sclerotium rolfsii in chickpea

mycolabadmin

This study demonstrates that combining rice husk biochar with Cassia fistula plant extract and beneficial Trichoderma fungus effectively controls a destructive soil disease in chickpea crops. The combined treatment reduced disease occurrence by nearly 50% while improving plant growth and soil health. This eco-friendly approach offers farmers a sustainable alternative to chemical fungicides for protecting their chickpea crops.
