Anaerobic soil disinfestation (ASD) has been adopted in over 900 ha California strawberry production as an alternative to chemical fumigation. Rice bran, the predominant carbon source for ASD, become increasingly expensive. In 2021–22 and 2022–23 field studies, we evaluated 20–30% lower-priced wheat middlings (Midds) dried distillers’ grain (DDG) at 21,800 kg ha−1 (in 2021) 17,000 2022) sources...

Macrophomina phaseolina was cultivated in complex and simple media for the production of extracellular lipolytic enzymes. Culture supernatants were batch foam fractionated for the recovery of these enzymes, and column design and operation included the use of P 2 frit (porosity 40 to 100  μ m), air as sparging gas at variable flow rates, and Triton X-100 added at the beginning or gradually in al...

Toxicity of the fungicide Flutolanil was in vitro tested against 20 isolates of Macrophomina phaseolina and cotton seedlings of ten commercial cotton cultivars. The isolates were recovered from roots of cotton plants obtained from different cotton-growing areas in Egypt. Most of the tested isolates were sensitive to Flutolanil; however, they varied in sensitivity. Twenty-five percent of the iso...

some types of faba bean suspected of root pathogens in lorestan provincec, iran were sampled during years 2007 to 2008. after some pathogenicity tests, 121 samples which suffered from root fungus disease and from chromista were totally isolated. the abundance of fungi, fusarium solani, which caused the faba bean root rot was more than that of the other separated types and as well as the farming...
