Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi) Goid., a pycnidia-producing fungus, is one of the most important soilborne pathogens, infecting over 500 plant species in more than 100 plant families around the world (1,18). It causes a major disease of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) called charcoal rot (18). Symptoms on soybean include blight of emerging seedlings, wilting, early maturation, and incomplete p...

ABSTRACT The objective of this work was to determine the composition and evaluate in vitro vivo effects essential oils (Lippia sidoides Cham., Ocimum gratissimum L., Cymbopogon citratus Stapf., selloi Benth., Citrus sinensis micranthum Willd., sp., Piper aduncum L.) on control Fusarium rot melon fruits, caused by fungus pallidoroseum. were obtained hydrodistillation their chemical determined GC...

Macrophomina phaseolina and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum are two significant fungal pathogens of sunflower. M. causes charcoal rot ashy stem blight in several important crop species. white mold disease which can occur as middle stalk rot, head premature plant death. Due to the wide host range their survival structures, rotation cannot provide sufficient protection against them. In our experiment, w...

In 2019 and 2020, charcoal rot symptoms were observed on lentil plants in fields located the Northwest of Algeria (Mascara Tiaret Relizane). Based morphological molecular identification using internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequence analyses, two representative isolates identified as Macrophomina pseudophaseolina. Pathogenicity tests performed Koch’s postulates verified fulfilled. To our know...
