Protective potential of selected microbial and non-microbial biostimulants against Zymoseptoria tritici leaf blotch in winter wheat as affected by the form of N supply.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The production of high-quality food for the growing world population on the one hand and the reduction of chemical-synthetic pesticides on the other hand represents a major challenge for agriculture worldwide. The effectiveness of a combination of microbial and non-microbial biostimulants (BSs) with various nitrogen (N) forms in pathogen defense is discussed as a promising, but still poorly understood bio-based alternative for crop protection.

Methods

For this reason, nitrate and stabilized ammonium fertilizer both combined with a consortium of Pseudomonas brassicacearum, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, and Trichoderma harzianum as soil treatment or with a mixture of seaweed extract (Ascophyllum nodosum) together with chitosan-amended mic
