wheat root and crown rot known as take-all disease caused by gaeumannomyces graminis var. tritici is one of the most important diseases of wheat worldwide. in iran,the disease has been reported from provinces such as markazi and golestan. in recent years, symptoms of the disease such as stunted and yellow plant, rotted roots and whitened/empty heads have been observed in wheat fields in various...

Root system architecture plays a vital role in plant growth, development, and adaptation by absorbing water nutrients providing mechanical support for growing plants. Unfortunately, little information is available the literature on root dynamics of summer mung bean under conservation agriculture conditions. In this study, field experiments were conducted during seasons two consecutive years (20...

Septoria leaf blotch (SLB), caused by Zymoseptoria tritici (Desm.) Quaedvlieg & Crous, 2011 (teleomorph: Mycosphaerella graminicola (Fuckel) J. Schröt.), is an important wheat disease in the Mediterranean region. In Tunisia, SLB has become a major disease of durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. subsp. durum [Desf.] Husn.) particularly during favorable growing seasons where significant yield losses...
