The impact of naturally occurring arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on soybean growth and their interaction with Heterodera glycines were evaluated in nematode-infested and uninfested fields in Kansas. Ten soybean cultivars from Maturity Groups III-V with differential susceptibility to H. glycines were treated with the fungicide benomyl to suppress colonization by naturally occurring mycorrhizal fun...

Plants recognize invading pathogens and respond biochemically to prevent invasion or inhibit colonization in plant cells. Enhancing this response in crop plants could improve sustainable methods to manage plant diseases. To enhance disease resistance in soybean, the soybean phytoalexin glyceollin was assessed in soybean hairy roots of two soybean genotypes, Spencer and PI 567374, transformed wi...

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 ...

Background: Chickpea wilt complex caused by several soil-borne pathogens is the major yield-reducing malady worldwide. Biological control one of best, low-cost and ecologically sustainable method for managing plant diseases pathogens. Methods: In this present investigation Panchagavya Trichoderma spp. were evaluated following poisoned food technique dual culture against causing i.e. Fusarium ox...

Macrophomina phaseolina has a wide host range and is responsible for causing losses on m cultivated and wild plant species. So far in Pakistan it has been reported to cause disease on hosts including field crops, pulses, flowers and vegetable have been reported. Infection on s first reported from Sri Lanka in 1927 and in 1982 it was reported from sunflower field in fungus is reported to be soil...
