Histology of Infection of Hydrilla verticillata by Macrophomina phaseolina

Macrophomina phaseolina as causal agent for ch rot of sunflower

Macrophomina phaseolina has a wide host range and is responsible for causing losses on m cultivated and wild plant species. So far in Pakistan it has been reported to cause disease on hosts including field crops, pulses, flowers and vegetable have been reported. Infection on s first reported from Sri Lanka in 1927 and in 1982 it was reported from sunflower field in fungus is reported to be soil...

Evaluation of antifungal activity of Meliaceae family against Macrophomina phaseolina

Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi) Goid is a soil-borne fungal pathogen that causes root rot disease in more than 500 plant species but no registered fungicide is available for its control. The present study was carried out to investigate the antifungal activity of aqueous leaf extracts of Azadirachta indica A. Juss., Melia azedarach L. and Toona ciliata Roxb. (Meliaceae) against M. phaseolina. Aq...

Effect of Aquathol K on Hydrilla verticillata (L.F.) Royle

A recently synthesized herbicide Aquathol K was tested on the water weed Hydrilla verticil/ata. Results from the laboraoty tests indicated that Aquathol K with concentrations ranging from 1.0 mg/l to 2.0 mg/l can kill this weed. EVidently, 100% injury was achieved within 10 days for the plants treated with the highest concentration., 2. 0 mg/l of Aquathol K. The rate of 100% injury was recorded...

An insight into the lignin peroxidase of Macrophomina phaseolina

Macrophomina phaseolina is one of the deadliest necrotrophic fungal pathogens that infect more than 500 plant species including major food, fiber, and oil crops all throughout the globe. It secretes a cocktail of ligninolytic enzymes along with other hydrolytic enzymes for degrading the woody lignocellulosic plant cell wall and penetrating into the host tissue. Among them, lignin peroxidase has...
