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...

Cassava root rot causes significant production losses. Difficulties of management, along with the lack chemical fungicides officially registered by Ministry Agriculture, Livestock and Supply (MAPA), require alternative control methods. This study investigated in vitro antagonistic activity Trichoderma harzianum as well a biological fertilizer MICROGEO® on Fusarium solani. The phytophatogenic st...

Abstract Background Onion ( Allium cepa L.) is a very important vegetable crop all over the world, particularly in Egypt for local consumption and exportation. White rot disease most serious of spp. caused by soil-borne fungus Sclerotium cepivorum Berk. Results In this investigation, five tested isolates Bacillus subtilis showed an antagonistic effect significantly reduced linear growth pathoge...

Soft rot disease is economically one of the most devastating bacterial diseases affecting plants worldwide. In this study, we present novel insights into the phylogeny and virulence of the soft rot model Pectobacterium sp. SCC3193, which was isolated from a diseased potato stem in Finland in the early 1980s. Genomic approaches, including proteome and genome comparisons of all sequenced soft rot...

In this study, we characterized sporadically occurring sclerotium rot caused by Sclerotium rolfsii in Chinese chive (Allium tuberosum Roth.) in farm fields in Sacheon, Korea. The initial symptom of the disease was water-soaked, which progressed to rotting, wilting, blighting, and eventually death. Further, mycelial mats spread over the lesions near the soil line, and sclerotia formed on the sca...

Red rot disease caused by Colletotrichum falcatum is a major production threat to several sugarcane varieties in Thailand. Biological control an ecologically friendly alternative manage the using microbial antagonism and associated metabolic products. In this study, four Aspergillus non-toxigenic strains (A37, A374, A400, A561) were characterized genetic approach evaluated for their antagonisti...

A field experiments was carried out in Pokhara, Kaski, Nepal, to identify integrated disease management options against late blight of potato under natural epiphytotic conditions.Twelve genotypes potato, including Janakdev as resistant and Cardinal susceptible, were evaluated a randomized complete block design with three replications. Similarly, two-factor experiment replications investigate th...

White root rot (WRR) disease, caused by Rigidoporus microporus, is one of the major constraints causing economic loss to rubber plantation worldwide including in Malaysia. This glasshouse study was conducted evaluate efficacy a peat-based bioformulation Enterobacter sp. UPMSSB7 and an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AMF, Glomus mosseae) with silicon (Si) for WRR suppression plant growth promotio...
