Dean, FAAS, Dr. Maurvi Pandya, welcome speaker and all the participants with her astonishing words and convey the importance of the talk series with distinguished topics during wide-ranging series. She introduced the topic with its importance for students and other scientific community.
After that Dr. Parthsinh Rahevar introduced Dr. Pratibha Sharma to the audience and welcome her.
Dr. Pratibha starts her talk with the welcome to audience and acknowledgements to the institute for inviting her. She first introduced the variability in plant pathogens (Fungi, Bacteria and Virus). Then she explained Physiological specialization, Forma specialis (f. sp.) and Biotype. Then she shifted toward the present trends towards biologicals have created interests in the market development of liquid formulations, solid formulations, polymeric formulations, and metabolite formulations. Many diseases caused by soil borne pathogens are difficult to predict, detect, and diagnose. She explained management of soil borne disease through biocontrol agents. Further she explained the bio fertilizers, bio stimulants and bio pesticides are the major components of plant health management. She explained different application of Tricoderma in plant disease management.
After her session she give response to the questions and interact with the students. So many students asked questions regarding Bio control agents, Plant health management, response of native and introduced populations to different management practices.
The talk was ended by Vote of Thanks given by Dr. Deepak Sharma. In the talk total 224 participants including UG students, PG students, research scholar scientist, teachers and private company’s scientist had taken part from all over the India.
