Utilization of kairomones to reduce the use of pesticides on Zea Mays crops
Abstract: Plant-derived kairomones represent a critical yet under- explored class of allelochemicals that orchestrate complex communication within maize-based intercropping systems. Beyond their role as simple signalling molecules, these compounds act as key determinants in the rhizosphere, influencing the recruitment of beneficial soil microbiota, modulating nutrient bioavailability, and enhancing plant tolerance to abiotic and biotic stresses. primary objective of this review is to provide a comprehensive synthesis of the biochemical pathways and …

Cultural Approaches for Plant Disease Management
Abstract: ABSTRACTCultural practices (CPs) can be harnessed for the management of soil and foliar-borne diseases by creating an environment which is favorable for the host and unfavorable for the pathogen. Most cultural practices used to control plant disease are preventive in nature. There are three categories of cultural practices: (a) CP, which is usually applied for agricultural purposes not related to crop protection, such as fertilization and irrigation, (b) CPs, which …
