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...

Agricultural and wild ecosystems may interact through shared pathogens such as Macrophomina phaseolina, a generalist clonal fungus with more than 284 plant hosts that is likely to become more important under climate change scenarios of increased heat and drought stress. To evaluate the degree of subdivision in populations of M. phaseolina in Kansas agriculture and wildlands, we compared 143 iso...

charcoal rot disease, caused by macrophomina phaseolina has become a restrictive agent for annual crops in iran. the disease incidence reaches up to 90 percent in some infested areas. high air temperature and drought stress associated with this disease, are the main factors for increasing the disease incidence and severity. in order to isolate the pathogenic agents, pieces of infected root and ...

charcoal rot caused by macrophomina phaseolina is an important disease of soybean throughout the world. to understand the spatial distribution of soybean charcoal rot incidence and m. phaseolina populations in golestan province, 172 soybean fields were surveyed for population density, in two successive years, and integrated with geographic information system (gis). each year, 60 fields were als...

Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi) Goid. is a soil- and seed-borne pathogen that causes charcoal rot various rots blights of more than 500 crop species. Dry root (DRR) also called as which yield loss ranged from 25-48 per cent. The necrotroph infects wide range crops. It observed mycelium M. in cotyledons, plumule radicle, the naturally infected seeds mungbean cowpea. disease symptoms are clearly ...

Present study was conducted to evaluate the fungicidal property of methanolic extracts of some indigenous plants of Karachi such as Hibiscus rosa-sinensis (leaves), Thespesia populnea (leaves, stem and fruit), Withania somnifera (leaves and stem), Solanum surattense (shoot) and Melia azedarach (fruit) against common soil-borne phytopathogens viz., Macrophomina phaseolina, Rhizoctonia solani and...

Induction of systemic resistance by neem cake (Azadirachta indica) and endophytic Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a plant growth promoting bacterium, was evaluated in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) under salinity stress and fungal infection. The combination of biocontrol agent and organic matter induced tolerance against fungal infection (Macrophomina phaseolina) and salinity stress (EC= 17.3 dS, m) by...
