Postharvest losses from fungal pathogens to essential fruits and vegetables are enormous alarming. Orthodox synthetic fungicides being used as a regular practice restrict these losses. However, now by knowing the hazards of chemical-based fungicides, situation demands alternative green technology. Consequently, many angiosperms plant extracts have been evaluated for their antifungal nature achi...

Control of grey mould, caused by Botrytis spp., is a major challenge in open field strawberry production. was isolated from plant parts collected 19 perennial fields with suspected fungicide resistance the Agder region Norway 2016. Resistance to boscalid, pyraclostrobin and fenhexamid high found 89.1%, 86.0% 65.4% conidia samples, respectively. Multiple common; 69.6% samples exhibited three or ...

chickpea blight caused by didymella rabiei is considered as the most important disease of chickpea in kermanshah province. the disease is seed borne in addition to being persistent on infected residues, secondary infection taking place through pycnidiospores. in laboratory tests, the effects of six fungicides were tested at : 0.01, 0.1, 1.0, 10.0 and 100.0 ?g.a.i.ml-1 csma(chickpea seed meal ag...

Stripe rust of wheat, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici, is one of the most important diseases of wheat worldwide. This review presents basic and recent information on the epidemiology of stripe rust, changes in pathogen virulence and population structure, and movement of the pathogen in the United States and around the world.

Azole resistance is an emerging problem in Aspergillus which impacts the management of aspergillosis. Here in we report the emergence and clonal spread of resistance to triazoles in environmental Aspergillus fumigatus isolates in India. A total of 44 (7%) A. fumigatus isolates from 24 environmental samples were found to be triazole resistant. The isolation rate of resistant A. fumigatus was hig...

The capacity of spent mushroom substrate (SMS) as a sorbent of fungicides was evaluated for its possible use in regulating pesticide mobility in the environment. The sorption studies involved four different SMS types in terms of nature and treatment and eight fungicides selected as representative compounds from different chemical groups. Nonlinear sorption isotherms were observed for all SMS-fu...
