The necrotrophic fungus Macrophomina phaseolina is an important pathogen of many crops, such as strawberry, maize, sorghum, potato, soybean, chickpea, and pigeon pea, causes multiple diseases throughout the world. microsclerotia, which are source primary inoculum, play role in survival spread M. phaseolina, well disease initiation development. South Asia has unique characteristics relative to c...

The soil fungus Macrophomina phaseolina, the charcoal rot disease agent, poses a major threat to cotton fields. In Israel, highly infected areas are also inhabited by maize pathogen Magnaporthiopsis maydis. This study reveals relationships between two pathogens and their impact on sprouts. Infecting 14 days before sowing (DBS) with each or M. phaseolina maydis caused strong inhibition (up 50–65...

Macrophomina phaseolina and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum are two significant fungal pathogens of sunflower. M. causes charcoal rot ashy stem blight in several important crop species. white mold disease which can occur as middle stalk rot, head premature plant death. Due to the wide host range their survival structures, rotation cannot provide sufficient protection against them. In our experiment, w...

Bacillus spp. are well known to protect plants from seed or soil-borne pathogens by the synthesis of various metabolites with antimicrobial activity, such as hy?drolytic enzymes and antibiotics. This study aimed select most effective a group ten antagonistic strains antifungal activity assay. were primarily isolated soil identified B. safensis, pumilus subtilis 16S rDNA sequencing.
