Fusarium basal rot: profile of an increasingly important disease in Allium spp.

Abstract Fusarium basal rot (FBR) is a soil-borne disease that affects Allium species worldwide. Although FBR has long been recognized as major constraint to the production of economically important species, information could support management remains scattered. In this review, current knowledge on causal agents, symptomology and epidemiology, impact, strategies synthesized. We highlight FPR associated with different complexes several which oxysporum F. proliferatum are most prevalent. These pathogenic vary in composition virulence, depending sites hosts, can be challenging for management. Research improve using chemical pesticides, resistance cultivars, biocontrol cultural practices achieved both promising results limitations. Finally, research needs future directions proposed development effective strategies.
