Ganoderma colossum is a rare species of Ganodermataceae family with many biological and biochemical properties. It is associated with rot, wilt, dieback, and wood decay of many host plants such as Ficus carcica, Celtis laevigata, Pinus hondurensis, Callitris robusta, Eucalyptus citrodora, E. paniculata, E. puncata, and Phoenix canariensis. In Oman, this pathogen was isolated as new records from...

for determination the host range of fusarium stem and root rot of green-house cucumber (cucumis sativus) that caused by fusarium oxysporum f. sp. radicis-cucumerinum, after isolation, identification and study of pathogenisity, 16 species of several plant families were artificially inoculated with this pathogen by sand and corn meal contaminated with pathogen, two varieties of cucumis melo, of c...

Root rot diseases remain a major global threat to the productivity of agricultural crops. They are usually caused by more than one type pathogen and thus often referred as root complex. Fungal oomycete species predominant participants in complex, while bacteria viruses also known cause rot. Incorporating genetic resistance cultivated crops is considered most efficient sustainable solution count...

this experiment was conducted for determining the effect of irrigation termination before harvesting and late application of nitrogen on sugar beet yield, quality and root rot during 1993-95 at safiabad agricultural research center. different irrigation termination and late nitrogen application treatments had a significant effect on root yield. terminating irrigation 1 and 3 weeks before harves...

Noble rot results from exceptional infections of ripe grape (Vitis vinifera) berries by Botrytis cinerea. Unlike bunch rot, noble rot promotes favorable changes in grape berries and the accumulation of secondary metabolites that enhance wine grape composition. Noble rot-infected berries of cv Sémillon, a white-skinned variety, were collected over 3 years from a commercial vineyard at the same t...

Black root rot of pansy (Viola × wittrockiana Gams ex Kappert) is caused by Thielaviopsis basicola (Berk. & Broome) Ferraris. The synanamorph of T. basicola is Chalara elegans Nag Raj & Kendrick. Black root rot and Thielaviopsis root rot are common names used for disease caused by the same pathogen on multiple ornamental and agricultural crops (14,16). The macroscopic appearance of the disease ...

The antifungal activities of three supercritical CO2 (SCC) extracted cedar oils, Port-Orford-cedar (POC) (Chamaecyparis lawsoniana), Alaska yellow cedar (AYC) (Chamaecyparis nootkatensis), and Eastern red cedar (ERC) (Juniperus virginiana L), were evaluated against two common wood decay fungi, brown-rot fungi (Gloeophyllum trabeum) and white-rot fungi (Trametes versicolor). The statistical anal...
