The high incidence of various soil-borne diseases in the monoculture field of peanut is a major production constraint in the red soil regions of southern China. The peanut root exudates are generally thought to play an important role in regulating soil-borne pathogens. The responses of the soil-borne pathogens, Fusarium oxysporum and F. solani to the peanut root exudates were studied using one ...

Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an important oilseed crop and the economic production of groundnut constrained by soil-borne diseases. Stem rot, caused necrotrophic fungus Sclerotium rolfsii, was most common disease in groundnut. A roving survey conducted major growing areas Telangana during kharif 2019 rabi 2019-20 to collect a preliminary data incidence level pattern prevalence stem rot di...

Natural biological suppression of soil-borne diseases is a function of the activity and composition of soil microbial communities. Soil microbe and phytopathogen interactions can occur prior to crop sowing and/or in the rhizosphere, subsequently influencing both plant growth and productivity. Research on suppressive microbial communities has concentrated on bacteria although fungi can also infl...

Food-borne diseases constitute a major public health problem. Due to increased morbidity and mortality leading to time loss in the work place and reduced productivity, food-borne diseases across the world cost billions of dollars annually1. The Clostridium group of bacteria is commonly found in soil everywhere in the world, and some of its species live harmlessly in our intestines. Clostridium ...

Abstract In New Zealand, potato crop yields of 90 t ha ?1 are achievable but at 55 , the average is becoming economically unsustainable. 2012/13, a grower-initiated survey found that Rhizoctonia solani and Spongospora subterranea (soil-borne pathogens) soil compaction were widespread in 11 Canterbury crops. Targeted areas these crops had measured yield losses 0 (healthy plants) – 42 (diseased, ...
