Exploring the potential of using essential oils to control bipolaris leaf spot in maize
Researchers at the Federal University of Tocantins in Brazil evaluated the efficacy of essential oils derived from Ocimum pupuraceus, Cymbopogon nardus, Cymbopogon citratus and Lippia sidoides in inhibiting Bipolaris maydis mycelial growth and conidial germination. They reported their findings in an article published in the Journal of Medicinal Plants Research. Recently, research institutions have been emphasizing the use of alternative […]

How do bacteria populations travel through soil layers?
Soil bacteria are important components of the ecosystem. They help improve soil structure and aggregation, as well as recycle soil nutrients and water. Soil bacteria also serve as decomposers that consume carbon compounds and provide large quantities of nitrogen to plants. Nitrogen is a major component of chlorophyll and is essential for the production of amino acids, which […]

Scientists discover protein that allows soil bacteria to generate electricity in microbial fuel cells
Bacterial cells are only about one-tenth the size of human cells. Despite being considerably smaller, bacteria have more complex respiratory mechanisms than humans. And while higher animals produce carbon dioxide when they breathe, some bacteria can generate an electric current when they “exhale.” In a new study published in the journal Nature Chemical Biology, researchers from Yale […]

This germicidal UV light can safely inactivate airborne coronavirus, study finds
Ultraviolet (UV) light is known as a health hazard to the skin and eyes, but a new study reports that a certain type of “germicidal” UV light can eliminate airborne coronaviruses without harming exposed human tissues. According to researchers at Columbia University Irving Medical Center‘s Center for Radiological Research, far-UVC light, which has a lower wavelength than DNA-damaging […]

Bacterial populations use seepage water to travel between the surface and subsoils
In this study, German researchers investigated the mobilization of certain bacterial populations present in the soil after dynamic hydraulic events. Their findings were published in the journal Soil Biology and Biochemistry. During extreme precipitation events, substantial amounts of organic matter are mobilized, resulting in fluxes in carbon from the topsoil to deeper mineral soil and groundwater. […]

Preconditioning maize seeds in ozonated water improves initial development of seedlings
In this study, researchers at the University of Brasilia evaluated the physiological and sanitary quality of maize seeds preconditioned in ozonated water. Their findings were published in the journal Revista Brasileira de Engenharia Agricola e Ambiental. Controlled hydration of seeds is a method of physiological conditioning used to improve seed performance in the field. Aeration using ozone gas is […]

Breath of life? Scientists claim that air pollution could age your lungs by two years
It’s well known that air pollution increases the risk of respiratory illnesses. A recent study by Canadian and European researchers, however, has found that air pollution also ages the lungs. Using data from more than 300,000 individuals, the researchers explored the negative impact of air pollution and found that exposure to high levels of air pollutants reduces lung function […]

Saline water found to improve yield and quality of cherry tomatoes
Fresh water is an important resource that the world has a very limited supply of. According to experts, 98 percent of the world’s water is salt water, and only two percent is fresh water. But of that two percent, 87 percent is locked up in ice and glaciers and 12 percent is in the ground, […]

Organically grown potatoes have better microelement content than potatoes grown using conventional and integrated systems
In this study, researchers at the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn in Poland investigated the effect of different production systems (i.e., conventional, integrated and organic) on the micronutrient and trace element content of tubers belonging to very early, early and medium-early maturing potato cultivars. Their findings were published in the journal Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica, Section […]

High levels of toxicants from plastic products found in stranded dolphins and whales
Consumer waste like plastics pose a huge threat to marine life for various reasons. Apart from their durability and slow biodegradability, plastics also contain and attract toxic contaminants that can accumulate inside aquatic animals if they’re ingested. Over the past few decades, scientists have been sounding the alarm on the increasing amount of plastics found polluting the world’s oceans. A new […]
