✳️ Black gram yellow mosaic virus (BGYMV) is a virus that causes yellow mosaic disease (YMD) in black gram, which can lead to significant yield losses. The disease is spread by the whitefly Bemisia tabaci and is a serious threat to grain legume production. ✳️ Pathogen - SS Circular DNA 🧬 Geminivirus, Genus - Begomovirus. ✳️ symptoms of YMD: 🔹 Early stages: Scattered yellow spots appear on young leaves 🔹 Later stages: Leaves develop irregular yellow and green patches, and some leaves turn completely yellow. 🔹 Stunted growth: Infected plants are stunted and mature late. 🔹 Reduced flowers and pods: Diseased plants produce very few flowers and pods. 🔹 Yellow pods: Pods of infected plants are reduced in size and turn yellow. ✳️ Some treatments for YMD include: 🔸Acetamiprid 20 SP / 🔸Imidachloprid 17.8 SL / 🔸Triazophos 40 EC . ▫️Seed treatment with 🔸Imidachloprid 600 FS / 🔸Azadirachtin 1000ppm / 🔸Thiamethoxam 25 WG .

🌱 Exploring Pathogen Testing for Plant Health 🦠 Ensuring plant health is a critical step in maintaining agricultural productivity and ecosystem balance. Today, I'm diving deep into **pathogen testing—a crucial diagnostic tool to detect harmful microorganisms that may affect plant growth and crop yield. By identifying pathogens like fungi, bacteria, and viruses early, we can implement targeted strategies to prevent the spread of disease, protect crops, and improve food security. Utilizing advanced techniques such as molecular diagnostics, serological tests, and bioassays helps us get accurate and timely results. It's fascinating to see how **plant pathogen testing plays a pivotal role in sustainable agriculture, contributing to healthier plants and more resilient agricultural systems. #PlantHealth #PathogenTesting #SustainableAgriculture #PlantScience #CropProtection

🌱 Understanding Plant Pathogens: The Key to Healthy Crops🌱 A major problem for worldwide agriculture is plant diseases, which are brought on by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, and fungus. In addition to lowering crop productivity, these illnesses endanger global food security. Take a look at this illustration showing common plant diseases: 🍂 Powdery Mildew: Fungal infections that cause white powdery growth on leaves. 🍎 Black Rot: Affects fruits, leading to blackened, decayed spots. 🌾 Bacterial Blight: Damages crops, reducing their health and productivity. 🔬 Why It Matters: The first step to efficient management of these disorders is to comprehend their symptoms and underlying causes. Innovations in sustainable farming methods, resistant crop types, and diagnostics can reduce their impact. 💡 Let’s work together to protect our crops and secure a healthier future!

🌾💡 Breakthrough in Pest Management: Reversing Insecticide Resistance! 🚫💥 As we continue to face the challenges of food security and sustainability, a team of geneticists from the University of California, San Diego, has made a groundbreaking discovery! 🎉 🔬 The Problem: Insecticide Resistance Insecticides have been used for centuries to protect valuable food crops from pests. However, over time, insects develop genetic mutations that render these chemicals ineffective. This escalating resistance forces farmers to increase the use of poisonous compounds, posing risks to human health and the environment. 🌎 💡 The Solution: Self-Eliminating 'e-Drive' The researchers have developed a gene drive-based solution to reverse insecticide resistance. The 'e-Drive' replaces mutant genes with native genes, reducing the need for pesticides and protecting valuable food crops. 🌼 🌟 Key Benefits: ✨ Reduces pesticide use and protects human health ✨ Preserves ecosystem balance and biodiversity ✨ Increases crop yields and food security 📚 Read the full story: [link to the article] 🤝 Let's work together to create a more sustainable future for our planet! 🌎 #PestManagement #Sustainability #FoodSecurity #GeneDrive #eDrive #Innovation #Science

Seed treatments play many important roles: protecting plants from diseases, pests, and environmental stressors and promoting early growth and vigor. New technology is allowing biostimulants to be used in further development of seed treatments. When biostimulants are added to seed treatments, it can further enhance the root development, nutrient uptake and water absorption of crops helping ensure higher survival rates, emergence and optimal early growth.

### 7. **Disease Suppression** - **Biological Activity**: The presence of organic matter encourages a diverse community of soil organisms, some of which can suppress plant pathogens and diseases. - **Enhanced Resilience**: Soils rich in organic matter are often more resilient to pests and diseases, promoting healthier crops.

Detecting Crop Disease: The Dilemma of Choosing Between Fast and Accurate Tests The rise in food prices has underscored the importance of maintaining high crop yields, making disease control a critical focus for growers. Plant diseases and pests account for a significant portion of yield losses globally, highlighting the need for effective disease management strategies. Recent advancements in agriculture have introduced new challenges, such as the emergence of novel agricultural diseases. Climate change is accelerating the rate at which these diseases evolve and spread, posing a threat to crop yields and food security.

Pyrethroids: The Evolution from Natural Pyrethrins to Modern High-Efficiency Insecticides Pyrethroids, based on the structure of natural pyrethrins, are highly effective insecticides widely used in global agriculture and public health control. Here is their evolution: Natural Pyrethrins: Pyrethrins, derived from the chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium), are highly effective against mosquitoes, flies, and other public health pests. However, they decompose under sunlight, limiting their application. First-Generation Synthetic Pyrethroids: In 1947, American scientists first synthesized allethrin, the first synthetic pyrethroid. However, it lacked stability, particularly under sunlight. Second-Generation Light-Stable Pyrethroids: In the 1970s, advancements in technology significantly improved the light stability of pyrethroids. Compounds like permethrin and fenvalerate became widely used in agriculture. Fluorinated Pyrethroids: Starting in the 1980s, scientists incorporated fluorine into pyrethroids to enhance their insecticidal activity, leading to compounds like fluvalinate and bifenthrin. Widespread Use: Today, pyrethroids are extensively used in agriculture and public health, providing strong, long-lasting insecticidal effects and becoming the mainstay for pest control. With ongoing technological advancements, pyrethroid insecticides will continue to play a key role in global agricultural and public health control. #Agriculture #Insecticides #Pyrethroids #Pesticides #PublicHealth #HighEfficiencyInsecticides
