High biological activity is a factor in increasing soil fertility and its phytosanitary state, achieved by creating optimal living conditions for soil microorganisms: providing nutrients, especially organic matter, moisture, heat and soil aeration. In this paper, we assess the effect of hydrogels of different chemical bases on the microbiological activity of sod-podzolic sandy loam soil. The effect of hydrogels on the microbiological activity of sod-podzolic soil was studied in a microfield experiment in a special installation (“dry place”) under conditions of soil drought and field conditions (Menkovsky branch of the FSBIU API, Gatchinsky district, Leningrad region). The experience was laid with two types of hydrogels (potassium and sodium base) with a single dose (40 g/m2). In the experiment, the indicators of soil biological activity were compared in the following variants: soil - control with the addition of 90 kg ha-1 NPK in the form of an azofoska, hydrogel introduced to a depth of 10–12 cm + N90 P90 K90, hydrogel introduced to a depth of 20–22 cm + N90P90K90. Samples of sod-podzolic sandy loam soil were taken from depths (10–12 cm and 20–22 cm) at the beginning and at the end of the growing season. In the course of the studies, it was found that when the hydrogel is introduced, both in the upper root-inhabited soil layer and in the 20–22 cm layer, favorable conditions are created for the microbiological activity of sod-podzolic sandy loam soil. It has been established that the chemical basis of the hydrogel does not inhibit the activity of the microbial community.","PeriodicalId":20414,"journal":{"name":"PLANT PROTECTION NEWS","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84089662","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research took place in Lobnya, Mytishchi district, Moscow region, in 2018 -2020 years. Long-term phytosanitary monitoring of crops showed that the most common disease of this culture is brown leaf spot (helminthosporium). Seed germination decreases by 21-41% to this patgen. 16 samples of smooth bromegrass was planted in the artificial infectious background to determine their disease resistance in 2018 According to the study carried out, it was found that the disease reaches its peak at the stage of seed ripening. Sample # 2 and sample # 12 on average exceeded the standard variety Fakelny by 12% for resistance to pathogens of helminthosporiosis (among the studied samples, according to three-year data). Sample # 2 and sample # 12 can be recommended for inclusion in the breeding process to create modern intensive type varieties.","PeriodicalId":20414,"journal":{"name":"PLANT PROTECTION NEWS","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90344212","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The disease severity was evaluated using a scale from 1 to 9 grades, where grade 9 means resistant. Recent field observations revealed that most of the variety accessions were sensitive to late blight. In the present study, some of the varieties identified as foliar resistant in field evaluation were further tested under artificial inoculation. Resistance of some varieties found in field observations was not confirmed in laboratory assays. The data obtained in tuber inoculation tests did not show a direct correlation between resistance levels in leaves and tubers. Only some varieties possessed both characteristics, while varieties with leaf resistance and tuber sensitivity and with tuber resistance and leaf sensitivity were also identified. To develop potato varieties that combine resistance to late blight with good agronomic characteristics, resistant lines identified in this study can be potentially hybridized with varieties of high consumer value that are susceptible to late blight.","PeriodicalId":20414,"journal":{"name":"PLANT PROTECTION NEWS","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78873451","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The fight against houseflies is an important part of pest control measures due to the ability of insects to carry pathogens of infectious diseases of humans and animals. But many of the chemicals that have been shown to be effective against them cease to work after just a few years of use. The intensive use of insecticides in world practice has led to the development of natural populations of houseflies that are resistant to all groups of insecticides used to control them. This species is one of the ten insect species that have developed resistance to the maximal amount of active substances. The review summarizes and analyzes the data of foreign and Russian authors on the insecticide resistance of houseflies (Musca domestica L.) over the past 20 years. Data on the resistance of house flies to both traditional insecticides and new chemicals are presented. The main mechanisms of insect resistance and the factors of its development are described. Schemes of rotation of insecticides in the controlling winged flies are given.

The obtained draft genome sequence of representative strain 3004 from barley plants, which is also virulent to sunflower, brassicas, and chestnut, demonstrated an absence of the Type 3 Secretion System T3SS and an evidence for the lateral gene transfer of some other virulence genes from distantly related bacteria. It was concluded that T4SS genes can be used as the target for group-specific PCR analysis of the emerging pathogen. It was proposed to use virD4, virB3, virB4, and virB9 genes to design a detection system. After preliminary experiments with classic PCR for the chosen genes, primers and TaqMan(R) probe were designed to specifically amplify a 121 bp fragment of the VirD4 gene. Amplification products were obtained for all target Xanthomonas arboricola strains and were not detected in other Xanthomonas species, or in other pathogenic or epiphytic bacteria occurring on these host plants. The assay readily detected Xanthomonas arboricola infection in diseased plants and from bacterial colonies isolated on semi-selective media, and was more sensitive and specific than traditional plating methods.","PeriodicalId":20414,"journal":{"name":"PLANT PROTECTION NEWS","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73899568","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
