Fertilization and disease control via soil bacteria?
Bacteria that can improve maize growth under cold temperatures and bacteria that can limit the effects of a fungal infection with Rhizoctonia solani were discovered
We analyzed the samples to quantify the antibiotic residues, to investigate the (antibiotic-resistant) bacterial shifts and to quantify antibiotic resistance genes. In addition, commercially available leek was also investigated for the presence of antibiotic residues.
Antibiotic residues, antibiotic resistant bacteria and antibiotic resistance genes in manure, soil and plants and the potential exposure of humans
Disinfectants in the livestock shed do not cause resistant bacteria
First soybean field trials are successful and show efficacy of Flemish soil bacteria.
Researchers at VIB and ILVO successfully conducted the first-ever field trials of soybean based on new knowledge about the interplay between bacteria, soil and crop.
The different target groups will thus receive a tailor-made HTS strategy for their need for detection of viruses and also (specific) bacteria.
Evaluation and optimization of a high-throughput sequencing based strategy to detect viruses and bacteria in view of certification and in vitro therapy to create virus free mother plants
ILVO's Diagnosic Centre for Plants named the first European reference laboratory (EURL) for nematodes and bacteria
In addition to the NRL, the Diagnostic Centre for Plants of Flanders Research ILVO is now also one of the first European reference laboratories for plant-pathogenic bacteria and nematodes.
Scientists want to create a library of soil bacteria with the help of 1000 citizens - and a minister
Main research questionWhich antibiotic resistant bacteria, antibiotic resistance genes and antibiotic residues can be found in ground water, surface water, waste water, marine water such as the North Sea inclusive of harbors, and in aquaculture?
We wish to find local soilborne bacteria and funghi that are able to form nodules on soybean plants. We expect that these local microorganisms are better adapted to the environmental conditions than the currently available commercial products.
