AB  - Plant protection with natural products is a new trend in environmentally friendly agriculture.
Nepeta rtanjensis Diklić et Milojević is an endemic and critically endangered plant species in Serbia.
We explored the phytotoxic potential of a water emulsion of Nepeta rtanjensis essential oil (NrEO)
with high amounts of trans,cis-nepetalactone on five weeds. The most sensitive was Stellaria media
(L.) Vill., as NrEO (from 0.013% to 0.1%) completely inhibited germination. Germination of
Amaranthus retroflexus L. and Artemisia vulgaris L. was completely inhibited at the highest applied
concentrations of NrEO (0.1%), while Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. germination was reduced to 48% at
the same concentration of NrEO. The most tolerant species was Cephalaria transsylvanica (L.) Schrad.
ex Roem. & Schult. as the final germination rate at the highest applied concentration of NrEO (0.1%)
was 81%, like the control (82%). To our knowledge, this is the first time the interaction of essential oils
on the germination and growth of A. vulgaris and C. transsylvanica is reported. The germination
dynamics of S. media in pots with soil were significantly inhibited when the soil was initially treated
with the highest applied concentration of the NrEO water emulsion (1%). Spraying S. media seedlings
with NrEO significantly inhibited growth parameters (shoot height, shoot fresh weight, and the number
of nodes) at the higher applied concentrations of NrEO (0.5% and 1%). Therefore, the water emulsion
of the essential oil of N. rtanjensis could be potentially developed for use in the control of invasive and
allergenic weeds.

AB  - Simple Summary: Natural enemies of cheatgrass, an invasive plant in the western USA that is
associated with recent increases in destructive wildfires, were sought as part of a classical biological
control program targeting that plant. A population of mites was discovered infesting cheatgrass
plants in central Bulgaria and determined to be a new species using morphological, morphometric
analysis (i.e., measurement of specific body parts) and DNA barcoding (i.e., comparison of DNA
sequences in genes shared by all mite species). Without these modern analytical tools, this mite
would probably have been considered as the same species as another mite that infests other plants.
This new mite species will now be tested to determine if it is suitable for importation and release in
the USA as a biological control agent of cheatgrass.
Abstract: A new species of eriophyoid mite, Aculodes marcelli sp. nov., was discovered on cheatgrass,
Anisantha tectorum (L.) Nevski (syn. Bromus tectorum L.), an annual grass that is native to Eurasia and
Northern Africa. This grass was introduced to North America near the end of the 19th century and
now is widespread and associated with the observed increases in the size, frequency, and intensity of
wildfires in western N. America. In this paper, A. marcelli sp. nov., is morphologically described and
illustrated. Compared with other Aculodes spp., it differs based on morphology and the sequence
of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase gene, subunit I (MT-CO1). Results of morphometric
analysis showed clear differentiation between A. marcelli sp. nov., and the most similar congener, A.
altamurgiensis from Taeniatherum caput-medusae. Analysis of MT-CO1 sequence divergence revealed
significant levels of genetic variation (17.7%) and supported the results from the morphometric
analysis; therefore, it is determined that they are two different species. Aculodes marcelli sp. nov., is a
new candidate agent for classical biological control of A. tectorum.

AB  - Seed treatments with zinc, boron, biostimulant Coveron and MIX (zinc + boron + Coveron)
were applied to three lettuce and three celeriac cultivars. Seeds of three wheat cultivars were treated
under laboratory conditions with Trichoderma harzianum and eight Bacillus spp. Seed germination,
seedling growth, and the presence of the following pathogens were determined: Fusarium sp., Al‐
ternaria sp., Penicillium sp., and Mucor sp. The Coveron treatment was the most effective on lettuce
seeds tested in the germination cabinet. Seed germination was higher by 4% than in the control.
Alternatively, germination of seeds treated with boron in the greenhouse was higher by 12% than
in the control. The Coveron treatment had the highest effect on the shoot length, which was greater
by 0.7 and 2.1 cm in the germination cabinet and the greenhouse, respectively. This treatment was
also the most effective on the root length. Zn, B, and MIX treatments increased celeriac seed germi‐
nation by 14% in the germination cabinet. The Zn treatment was the most efficient on seeds tested
in the greenhouse. The germination was higher by 15%. A significant cultivar × treatment interac‐
tion was determined in both observed species under both conditions. The maximum effect on wheat
seed germination (8%) was achieved with the T. harzianum treatment in the Salazar cultivar. A sig‐
nificant interdependence (p ≤ 0.01 to p ≤ 0.001) was established between seed germination and the
seedling growth. The interrelationship between seed germination and pathogens of all cultivars was
negative.
