Evaluation of bio-agent formulations to control Fusarium wilt of tomato

The ED50 value of antagonistic substance from Chaetomium globosum N0802 extracted with hexane was 157 μg/ml. This gave the highest inhibition of conidial production of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici causing tomato wilt var Sida. Crude hexane from Chaetomium lucknowense CLT and crude methanol from Trichoderma harzianum PC01 gave ED50 values of 188 and 192 μg/ml. It clearly demonstrated that antagonistic substances from all tested fungi could be deformed and this could break the conidial cells. The bio-agent formulations namely N0802, CLT and PC01 gave significantly highest disease reduction of tomato wilt which were 44.68, 36.28 and 41.01%, respectively, followed by prochoraz (21.95%). All tested bio-agent formulations could significantly increase the yield of tomato when compared to prochoraz and inoculated control. It is concluded that C. globosum, C. lucknowense and T. harzianumKeywords: Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici, Chaetomium globosum, Chaetomium lucknowense, Trichoderma harzianum, bio-agent formulationsAfrican Journal of Biotechnology Vol. 9(36), pp. 5836-5844, 6 September, 201

Technology-based strategic marketing planning for Pi-Pe

In this paper, we present a strategic marketing plan combined with Technology-Based Marketing approach (TBM) and Competitive Strategy approach for an intelligent travel planning system named Pi-Pe which uses artificial intelligence to help users easily create their one-day trip schedule with three simple steps: (1) Select the date and time (2) State the starting location and (3) Pick the destinations. The purpose of the paper is to develop a set of technology-based marketing plan for Pi-Pe in the pursuit of competitive advantage to drive up product value and create sustained commercial advantage
