trichoderma harzianum (t39), t.virens (dar74290), t.viride (mo), t. harzianum (m) and trichderminb a commercial formulation of t. harzianum(bi) were evaluated as potential biological agents for the control of charcoal stem rot in melon caused by macrophomina phaseolina. cell-free metabolites of t. harzianum(m), t. harzianum (t39) and t. virens (dar 74290) inhibited growth of m. phaseolina compl...

charcoal rot, caused by macrophomina phaseolina, is one of the most important diseases of sunflower in golestan province. host resistance may be the only feasible method to manage this disease. accordingly, the resistance of 18 varieties of common recommendations for the region in the form of a randomized complete block design (rcbd) against isolates of m. phaseolina was assessed. statistical a...

Charcoal rot diseases of melon caused by Macrophomina phaseolina is one of the most important diseases of melon occurring in regions with variable climate. Reduction of yield of melon by this disease has been reported up to 100% in some of Garmsar field. Salinity which can cause the important trouble in plant metabolism and nutrition is present in Semnan and Garmsar areas. Melon is susceptible ...

Macrophomina phaseolina is a devastating soil-borne fungal plant pathogen that causes charcoal rot disease in many economically important crops worldwide. So far, no registered fungicide is available against this plant pathogen. This study was planned to examine the antifungal activity of an allelopathic grass Cenchrus pennisetiformis (Hochst. & Steud.) Wipff. for the management of M. phaseolin...

melon and musk melon are grown widely in warm and moderate climate regions of the world as well as iran. these crops are attacked by several fungal pathogens including macrophomina phaseolina which causes charcoal rot disease at different growth stages and reduces the yield remarkably. fungicide application and other control methods have not been successful in control of charcoal rot and utiliz...

M. phaseolina, a global devastating necrotrophic fungal pathogen causes charcoal rot disease in more than 500 host plants. With the aim of understanding the plant-necrotrophic pathogen interaction associated with charcoal rot disease of jute, biochemical approach was attempted to study cellular nitric oxide production under diseased condition. This is the first report on M. phaseolina infection...

Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi) Goid is a destructive pathogen of cowpea that causes serious charcoal rot disease with significant yield losses. Antifungal activity of three indigenous Ascomycetes viz., Trichoderma harzianum, T. viride, and T. hamatum, and two Meliaceae members, i.e., Melia azedarach L. and Azadirachta indica L. were assessed against the pathogen. Laboratory screening trials wi...

We present the results of a study testing the response of two saprophytic white-rot fungi species, Pleurotus pulmonarius and Coriolus versicolor, to charred biomass (charcoal) as a growth substrate. We used a combination of optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, elemental abundance measurements, and isotope ratio mass spectrometry ((13)C and (15)N) to investigate fungal colonisation ...
