micromycetes

Eggplant, or dark-fruited nightshade (Solanum melongena L., 1753), is an important agricultural crop, for which the use of biopreparations based on antagonist microorganisms is advisable. The success of introducing such strains into an agrocenosis is largely determined by their interaction with the host plant’s autochthonous microbial community, which can vary significantly across regions. This study analyzed the microbiota structure of eggplant plants grown in the Saratov region. One hundred healthy leaf samples were microbiologically analyzed.

The article presents data on the detection of mould fungi in the system of Aesculus hippocastanum – Cameraria ohridella which is an invasive pest of chestnuts. Entomological and mycological studies were conducted using standard methods . The study determined the species composition, occurrence index and quantitative indicators of the micromycetes present in the leaf tissues of Aesculus hippocastanum and Cameraria ohridella caterpillars.
