Shell fish processing industry is very common in coastal areas. While processing, only the
meat is taken, the head and shells are discarded as waste. On an average, the sea food …

Cu–chitosan nanoparticles were synthesized and evaluated for their growth promotory and
antifungal efficacy in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum Mill). Physico-chemical characterization …

The potential use of cell wall derived oligosaccharides as regulators of plant defence,
growth and development was already referred to nearly 20 years ago in a first review …

Rice is a major food source for more than half of the world population. It is the only crop
whose cultivation utilizes large area of land for food production. Recent surveys on rice …

Chitosan, a partially deacetylated form of the natural and biodegradable biopolymer chitin,
has been used as plant growth promoter in agriculture. The aim of this work was to …

The present study was carried out with the aim of (i) evaluating the effect of chitosan (CTS)
on the growth of durum wheat under salinity and (ii) examining CTS-regulated mechanisms …

Oligochitosan (OC) is effective biostimulant on growth promotion and elicitation against
disease infection for plants. However, the range of OC molecular weight that exhibits the …

Background Resistance inducers have been used in annual crops as an alternative for
disease control. Wood perennial fruit trees, such as those of the citrus species, are …

Plant resistance inducers, also referred to as elicitors, are agents that confer improved
protection to pathogen or pest attacks by inducing host defense mechanisms. Such products …

Physico-chemical features of chitosan affect its biological activity on plants. In this work, the
influence of chitosan molecular mass in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) yields was …
