Effects of Oxygen Deprivation and Pythium Root Rot on Sugarcane Red Rot

A Review on Red Rot: The “Cancer” of Sugarcane

Saccharum spp. (Sugarcane) is an important cash crop cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. It is valuable mainly because of its ability to store high concentrations of sucrose, or sugar, in the stem and more recently for the production of ethanol, which is an important renewable biofuel source [1,2]. Globally, sugarcane is an important source of commercial sugar accountin...

Timing Pseudomonas chlororaphis applications to control Pythium aphanidermatum, Pythium dissotocum, and root rot in hydroponic peppers

The ability of the microbial agent Pseudomonas (Ps.) chlororaphis Tx-1 to suppress Pythium aphanidermatum and Pythium dissotocum, and control root rot, was investigated as a function of time of agent application and pathogen inoculation in vegetativestage sweet peppers grown in single-plant hydroponic units. The agent was applied to the nutrient solution at 1 10 CFU/mL and roots were inoculated...

Title: INTERACTION AND BIOLOGICAL CONTROL OF THE STRAWBERRY BLACK ROOT ROT PATHOGENS PYTHIUM AND RHIZOCTONIA

Strawberry Root Rot and the Recovery of Pythium and Rhizoctonia Spp

One root disease complex often associated with strawberry plants grown in nonfumigated soil is referred to as black root rot. While not currently a widespread problem in properly fumigated commercial production fields, with the impending phase out of the use of methyl bromide and alteration of current fumigation practices this disease complex may once again become a problem. In other strawberry...

Pythium root rot associated with cool-season dieback of turfgrass in Ontario and Quebec

Pythium species were isolated from diseased samples of creeping bentgrass and annual bluegrass. Among fourteen isolates from decayed roots and crowns, seven were P. graminicola, five were P. torulosum and two were P. ultimum. These species were identified by comparison of cultural and morphological characteristics to literature and reference isolates. In a tissue culture plate assay for quantif...
