Naturally occurring disease-suppressive soils have been documented in a variety of cropping systems, and in many instances the biological attributes contributing to suppressiveness have been identified. While these studies have often yielded an understanding of operative mechanisms leading to the suppressive state, significant difficulty has been realized in the transfer of this knowledge into ...

The antifungal activity of ethanol extract of Silybum marianum was investigated invitro against three strains of Rhizoctonia solani at different concentrations (5, 10, 15 and 20%). Bioassay of extract was conducted by poisoned food technique with three replications. The findings showed that strain of R. solani (Eggplant) was susceptible to concentrations of S. marianum more than other strains i...

ABSTRACT The effect of seed meals derived from Brassica juncea, B. napus, or Sinapis alba on suppression of soilborne pathogens inciting replant disease of apple was evaluated in greenhouse trials. Regardless of plant source, seed meal amendment significantly improved apple growth in all orchard soils; however, relative differences in pathogen suppression were observed. All seed meals suppresse...

The cucumber (Cucumis sativa L.) is often subjected to several fungal diseases. Rhizoctonia solani-induced damping-off and root rot are the most common diseases reported from commercial greenhouses of eastern area Saudi Arabia. objective current study explore antagonistic activity four Trichoderma species against R. solani in vitro vivo. Ten isolates (eight belonging AG-4 two AG-A AG2-1) were s...

As a polyphagous organism, Rhizoctonia is one of the most infectious soil-borne pathogens for many plant species. To reduce this threat to plants and hence provide good quality products end-user, it crucial develop sophisticated environmental friendly protection methods. One such method biological control using beneficial agents, e.g., microorganisms as bacteria fungi, but also mites or insects...

Rhizoctonia solani causes economically important root and hypocotyl diseases in common bean throughout the world. Root health is a vital factor in plant development and root diseases would negatively influence water and nutrient uptake as well as cause direct stand reduction and root rot damage to the crop. An efficient common bean screening method to evaluate damping-off and early root/ hypoco...

HOWELL, C. R. 1978. Seed treatment with L-sorbose to control damping-off of cotton seedlings by Rhizoctonia solani. Phytopathology 68:1096-1098. The keto sugar, L-sorbose, inhibits hyphal extension and accumulate in the soil. When applied to seed in crystalline promotes profuse branching in Rhizoctonia solani. When form with sticker, L-sorbose is highly water soluble and may applied to cotton s...
