Florunner peanut was grown after 1 and 2 years of Tifton 9 bahiagrass, corn, cotton, and continuous peanut as whole-plots. Pesticide treatments aldicarb (3.4 kg a.i./ha), flutolanil (1.7 kg a.i./ha), aldicarb + flutolanil, and untreated (control) were sub-plots. Numbers of Meloidogyne arenaria second-stage juveniles in the soil and root-gall indices of peanut at harvest were consistently lower ...

for determination the host range of fusarium stem and root rot of green-house cucumber (cucumis sativus) that caused by fusarium oxysporum f. sp. radicis-cucumerinum, after isolation, identification and study of pathogenisity, 16 species of several plant families were artificially inoculated with this pathogen by sand and corn meal contaminated with pathogen, two varieties of cucumis melo, of c...

basal stem rot caused by sclerotinia sclerotiorum (lib.) de bary is one of the most important diseases of sunflower. quantitative trait loci (qtl) implicated in partial resistance to two isolates of s. sclerotiorum (ssu107 and sskh41) were investigated using f9 recombinant inbred lines (rils) from the cross between sunflower parental lines pac2 and rha266. experiments were conducted in complete...

Four bacterial strains, Pseudomonas chlororaphis (PA-23), Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (BS6), Pseudomonas sp. (DF41) and B. amyloliquefaciens (E16) which had been found to have biocontrol activity in vitro assays against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, the causal agent of stem rot of canola, were tested for their efficacy in greenhouse and field conditions. Microscopic studies showed that P. chlororaph...
