Chitosan is a biopolymer derived from chitin in crustacean shells. Over the past decade it has been studied as an environmentally benign wood-protecting agent. It is assumed to act as a fungi-stat against a wide range of fungi and even as a fungicide at higher concentrations. This study ...
Hence, in this work, a new nanoformulation of a fungicide, namely chitosan-hexaconazole nanoparticles with a mean diameter size of 18 nm was subjected to the residual analysis on oil palm tissue, leaf and palm oil (crude palm oil and crude palm kernel oil) using a quick, easy, cheap, ...
Conclusions: Overexpression of the ARL1 gene, a member of the Ras superfamily that regulates membrane trafficking, provides protection against COS-induced cell membrane permeability and damage. We found that the ARL1 COS-resistant over-expression strain was as sensitive to Amphotericin B, Fluconazole ...
As a positive control, Captan fungicide at a concentration of 1500 ppm was used, and buffer with pH = 5 was used as a negative control. The inoculated petri dishes were incubated at 28 °C and in the dark, and after 7 days the radial growth of the fungus was checked. These tests ...
Foliar treatments have extended properties depending on the timing of use and the quantity applied: biofungicide, elicitor of plant defense, plant vigour stimulation, etc. How we can help with your applications KitoZyme®, leader in manufacturing vegetal chitosan. ...
Chitosan is a natural non-toxic, biocompatible, biodegradable, and mucoadhesive polymer. It also has a broad spectrum of applications such as agriculture, medical fields, cosmetics and food industries. In this investigation, chitosan nanoparticles were produced by an aqueous extract of Cympopogon citra...
Field experiments demonstrated that chitosan significantly reduced disease incidence and increased carrot yield, suggesting its potential as an eco-friendly fungicide [120]. Chitosan, a biodegradable natural compound, shows promise in agriculture for controlling plant diseases. In a field trial, 1.0% ...
The use of a natural fungicide as an alternative to preharvest synthetic fungicide treatments to control lettuce deterioration during postharvest storage and Daniel, V., 2008. The use of a natural fungicide as an alternative to preharvest synthetic fungicide treatments to control lettuce deterioration du...
and synthetic fungicide. ROS produced due to metallic nanoparticle treatment can completely hinder the membrane integrity and functionality of the fungi, thus leading to growth inhibition and death as well72. In a study, it was illustrated that the increment in the ROS level can imbalance the ...
For example, it is a good sustainable alternative for food packaging or it can be used for sustainable agriculture. The chitosan can also reduce the pollution of other industrial processes such as paper production. This mini review collects some of the most important advances for the sustainable ...
