Molecular identification and characterization of binucleate Rhizoctonia spp. associated with black root rot of strawberry in Serbia

Wide Variation in Virulence and Genetic Diversity of Binucleate Rhizoctonia Isolates Associated with Root Rot of Strawberry in Western Australia

Strawberry (Fragaria×ananassa) is one of the most important berry crops in the world. Root rot of strawberry caused by Rhizoctonia spp. is a serious threat to commercial strawberry production worldwide. However, there is no information on the genetic diversity and phylogenetic status of Rhizoctonia spp. associated with root rot of strawberry in Australia. To address this, a total of 96 Rhizocto...

Strawberry Root Rot and the Recovery of Pythium and Rhizoctonia Spp

One root disease complex often associated with strawberry plants grown in nonfumigated soil is referred to as black root rot. While not currently a widespread problem in properly fumigated commercial production fields, with the impending phase out of the use of methyl bromide and alteration of current fumigation practices this disease complex may once again become a problem. In other strawberry...

Interaction of Pratylenchus penetrans and Rhizoctonia fragariae in Strawberry Black Root Rot.

A split-root technique was used to examine the interaction between Pratylenchus penetrans and the cortical root-rotting pathogen Rhizoctonia fragariae in strawberry black root rot. Plants inoculated with both pathogens on the same half of a split-root crown had greater levels of root rot than plants inoculated separately or with either pathogen alone. Isolation of R. fragariae from field-grown ...

Title: INTERACTION AND BIOLOGICAL CONTROL OF THE STRAWBERRY BLACK ROOT ROT PATHOGENS PYTHIUM AND RHIZOCTONIA

Morphological and molecular characterization of Oomycetes associated with root and crown rot of cucurbits in Kermanshah province, Iran

Pythium and Phytophthora are among the most well-known plant pathogens around the world that cause rotting of seeds, root, and crown, seedling death, and soft rot of fruits in contact with the soil. In this research, 347 isolates of these two genera and their close genus, Phytopythium were isolated from the cucurbits fields in Kermanshah province, Iran and examined in...
