Halotolerant plant growth-promoting bacteria isolated from Opuntia dillenii (Ker Gawl) Haw (Cactaceae) may enhance tomato growth under salinity stress in greenhouse conditions

High soil salinity constrains global agricultural productivity, necessitating effective mitigation strategies. Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) offer a promising approach to enhance crop salt tolerance. This study evaluated halotolerant bacteria from O. dillenii to improve tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) growth...

Preliminary Screening of Entomopathogenic Fungi and Semiochemical Compatibility for a Potential Auto-Inoculation Strategy Against Frankliniella occidentalis

Frankliniella occidentalis, an important crop pest worldwide, is mainly controlled by chemical pesticides, triggering resistance in thrips populations. Among the biological control methods evaluated in recent years, entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) appear to be a promising solution. A self-inoculation method could be an al...

Dual Benefits of Opuntia dillenii (Ker Gawl.) Haw. (Cactaceae) Microbiota: Tomato Growth Promotion and Ralstonia solanacearum Mitigation

Tomato production is severely affected by bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum. This study assessed the biocontrol potential of bacterial strains isolated from the cladodes, roots, and rhizosphere of Opuntia dillenii for the sustainable management of bacterial wilt in tomato. An in vitro screening identified...
