There may be many factors contributing to reduction in longevity and productivity in passion fruit plants, especially diseases of viral, bacterial or fungal etiologies, among which passion fruit woodiness, bacterial spot, root and collar rot, fusarium wilt, anthracnose and scab are the most important. The incidence of woody fruits in young plants totally compromises the productivity and quality...

Mango, banana, papaya, pineapple, and avocado are categorized as major tropical fruits grown for local consumption, export, sources of income to the growers. These fruit crops susceptible infection by Fusarium in field, after harvest, it causes root rot, vascular wilt, stem rot. Among most common economically important species associated with diseases F. oxysporum solani, which prevalent region...

metallic silver nanoparticles have been reduced from silver nitrate by employing the extracellular enzymatic machinery of edible white button mushroom (agaricus bisporus). the physical properties of these particles, size and shapes have been determined using techniques like tem, ftir and xrd and were reported in our earlier report. but, what stands of paramount importance in the present context...

Fusarium species are causal agents of fungal diseases occurring frequently in numerous agriculturally important plants, including potato, garlic and are one of the common pathogens of tomato, causing root rot in the west part of Iran. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to isolate and identify disease-causing Fusarium species from infected tomatoes based on the morphological and molecu...

In June 2020, many plants exhibited symptoms of root rot and foliar blight in the experimental field common sage Şanlıurfa province, Turkey. The pathogen was identified as Neoscytalidium novaehollandiae based on morphological characteristics phylogenetic analysis partial sequence transcription elongation factor 1-α gene internal transcribed spacer rDNA. Koch’s postulates were fulfilled by succe...

BACKGROUND Soybean red crown rot is a major soil-borne disease all over the world, which severely affects soybean production. Efficient and sustainable methods are strongly desired to control the soil-borne diseases. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We firstly investigated the disease incidence and index of soybean red crown rot under different phosphorus (P) additions in field and found that the natural i...

Antifungal activity of ethanol-water extracts of four medicinal plants, cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum Presl.), anise (Pimpinella anisum L.), black seed (Nigella sativa L.) and clove (Syzygium aromaticum L. Merr. & Perry.) was investigated against pea (Pisum sativum L.) root-rot fungus Rhizoctonia solani. In vitro antifungal activity test shown a high growth inhibition at concentration (4%) of each...

Several species of Phytophthora cause crown and root rot diseases of herbaceous and woody plants. Crown and root rot of pistachio trees cause significant damages in infected orchards. The effect of foliar application with Elite (fosetyl-Al) in 2 and 2.5 g/l was evaluated in greenhouse experiments. The frequency of mortality, fresh and dry weight of roots and shoots, height, intensity of crown r...

Although citrus is indigenous to southeast Asia, oranges were first planted commercially in central Arizona in the late 1800s. Today commercial production is centered in several warm and low-frost-risk areas of central and southwestern Arizona. A great number of citrus varieties are also widely planted in home gardens. Many diseases of citrus have been described world wide and have colorful and...

Abstract Background Root rot pathogens reported to cause considerable losses in both the quality and productivity of common bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris L.) pea Pisum sativum L.). It is an aggressive crop disease with detriment economic influence caused by Fusarium solani Rhizoctonia among other soil-borne fungal pathogens. Destructive plant diseases such as root have been managed last decades usi...
