A study was undertaken to evaluate the impact of soil application spent mushroom substrate (SMS) and farm yard manure (FYM) enriched with T. harzianum on pre-emergency damping off (PED) post-emergence (POED) in chilli tomato seedlings nursery beds containing naturally infested Pythium aphanidermatum Rhizoctonia solani experimental field area Department Plant Pathology, CCSHAU Hisar during 2018-...

Abstract The blueberry industry is one of the successful and expanding agricultural cropping systems in South Africa. As a result this growth, research into identifying plant disease agents has become increasingly important, yet there are relatively few scientific reports published on subject country. aim study was to identify causal stunting leaf scorch plants evaluate their pathogenicity. Roo...

A PCR-based ‘molecular tool box’, based on a region of the ras-related protein gene Ypt 1, was developed for the identification of 15 Phytophthora species that damage forests and trees: P. cactorum , P. cambivora , P. cinnamomi , P. citricola , P. europaea , P. inundata , P. lateralis , P. megasperma , P. nemorosa , P. kernoviae , P. pseudosyringae , P. psychrophila , P. quercina , P. ramorum a...

Pythium attrantheridium sp. nov. is a new species isolated from cavity spot lesions of carrots as well as apple and cherry seedlings from various locations widely distributed in Canada and the USA. This fungus is closely related to the heterothallic P. intermedium, but is distinguished by: (1) unique molecular characteristics; (2) unique morphological characteristics; and (3) mating incompatibi...

Sequence analysis of the ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacers (ITS) was used to establish phylogenetic relationships among 23 isolates of Pythium insidiosum, the etiological agent of pythiosis in mammals. The isolates were divided into three distinct clades that exhibited significant geographic isolation. Clade I consisted of isolates from North, Central, and South America, while clade II...
