Management of ground nut diseases by application of carbendazim+mancozeb(Wettable powder) under field condition.

Abstract :

Nine actinobacterial strains were isolated from the mangrove sediments of Bhitarkanika, Odisha. One of them was most potent with cellulolytic activity and it was identified as a species close to Streptomyces minoensis (BKM9), based on its colony morphology, biochemical and physiological characteristics. The strain was grown under different carbon, nitrogen and amino acid sources, pH and temperature to find out the optimum conditions for cellulase production. It was evident from the study, that maltose (485IU/l), yeast extract (595IU/l) and phenyl alanine (19.2 IU/ml) could be used as major carbon, nitrogen and amino acid sources respectively in fermentation at pH 7 and an incubation temperature of 37°C.
