Contrast between marker-assisted backcross (MABC) and doubled haploid (DH) methods in transferring genes for resistance to maize lethal necrosis (MLN) (Zea mays L.) is not well understood. The MLN caused by co-infection of plant chlorotic mottle virus sugarcane mosaic virus. Two panels consisting four BC3F2 six DH populations, separately developed through selection from crosses susceptible CIMM...

St. Augustinegrass [Stenotaphrum secundatum (Walter) Kuntze] is a popular warm-season turfgrass in the southern United States. Gray leaf spot (GLS), caused by fungal pathogen Pyricularia oryzae Cavara, one of major diseases Augustinegrass. Although previous studies have reported polyploid lines with resistance to GLS, no comprehensive evaluations sources been performed genus. Such will enable b...

Lack of understanding regarding the choice chemical fungicides or botanicals with their optimal doze and spraying schedule is one major problems concerning mid-hill farmers to control finger millet diseases in Nepal. In order assess effectiveness four fungicides, namely Bavistin 50 WP (Carbendazim 50%), SAAF 12% + Mancozeb 63% WP), RIDOMIL-MZ 72 (Metalyxl 8% 64% BAAN 75 (Tricyclazole 75%), two ...

Pathogens and pests are predicted to spread areas where they were previously irrelevant due climate change human-induced changes, posing new management issues for crops, especially in cropping systems based on minimal cereal crop diversification. In temperate of Central Eastern Europe, rye (Secale cereale) is a minor that contributes crops diversification particularly marginal situations soil u...

Colletotrichum acutatum is the cause of lupin anthracnose in Andean zone. The pathogen affects crop throughout its entire production cycle, causing losses up to 100%. In previous studies, native strains B. subtilis (CtpxS1-1; CtpxS2-1 and CtpxZ3) from province Cotopaxi reduced infections seed seedlings. This study evaluated potential biological control these by using two susceptible cultivars u...

Ginger is one of the most valuable cash crops for farmers in different parts Ethiopia. Bacterial wilt disease, caused by Ralstonia solanacearum, creates major limitation to production ginger Heavy losses due disease occur regularly, causing an additional impediment infected areas. Field tests were conducted at Tepi, South- Western Ethiopia, during 2019 and 2020 main cropping seasons assess effe...

Monitoring of phytopathological situation in crops is the basis for biological justification need protective measures, allowing to obtain a yield close potentially possible. The results monitoring spring wheat varieties are presented paper. Studies were carried out 2019–2021 laboratory phytopathology and experimental field Institute Plant Protection. Standard methods used during work. main crit...

Abstract Background Durum wheat ( Triticum durum Desf.) is one of the most important cereals in world. Unfortunately, plant a target several species genus Fusarium. This causes two serious diseases: fusarium crown rot (FCR) and head blight (FHB). The search for new indigenous strains Trichoderma with high potential biocontrol against these diseases was purpose this study. Results Biocontrol 15 ...
