Antifungal Potential of Plant Extracts against Alternaria solani, causing Early Blight of Tomato
Abstract: AbstractAqueous extracts of five plants with anti-microbial properties were evaluated for suppression of growth of Alternaria solani in laboratory conditions. At low concentration of 2%, four extracts including (Azadirachta indica) failed to suppress the growth. One extract (Putranjiva roxburghii) showed significant suppression of pathogen growth at low concentration, according to Analysis of variance, Tukey’s post-test. Some extracts (Melia azedarach and Tabernaemontana divaricata) on the contrary promoted the growth significantly more …

Effects of seed and nitrogen with phosphorus fertilizer rates on production of lowland rice (Oryza sativa L.) in Fogera plain, North Western Ethiopia.
Abstract: Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is the main cereal crop in the Fogera. However, crop yields are low due to lack of various agronomic management practices. Among these, lack of site-specific seed rate and fertilizer levels are the major limiting factors. Therefore, a field experiment was conducted at the Fogera National Rice Research and Training Center in 2019 to study the effects of seed and nitrogen with phosphorus fertilizer rates on …
