Charcoal rot is a fungal disease that thrives in warm dry conditions and affects the yield of soybeans and other important agronomic crops worldwide. There is a need for robust, automatic and consistent early detection and quantification of disease symptoms which are important in breeding programs for the development of improved cultivars and in crop production for the implementation of disease...

macrophomina phaseolina is an important soil-borne pathogen causing charcoal rot in many important crop plants including sesame, in iran. a total of 60 isolates of m. phaseolina were collected from the main sesame producing regions in ten provinces of iran. the genetic diversity among m. phaseolina populations was estimated using inter-simple sequence repeat (issr), focusing particularly on geo...

An attempt was taken for the management of charcoal rot disease soybean caused by Macrophomina phaseolina using integration bio-agent with fungicide and organic amendment. Before going to field experiments, different in-vitro trials were conducted select a virulent isolate M. phaseolina, an effective antagonistic Trichoderma harzianum, suitable Among seven isolates MSP-4 selected as test pathog...

The black-rot fungus, Myeosphaerella melonis (Pass.) Chiu and J. C. Walker, was first reported in France in 1891 on leaves of a Chinese variety of cucumber {CueUQyiis sativus L.) (¡^i) .^ It was recorded the next year from Delaware on vines of watermelon {Gitrullus vulgaris Sehr ad.), squash {Cucúrbita spp.), pumpkin {Cucúrbita pepo L.), muskmelon {Cucumis meló L.), and cucumber {3). Grossenbac...

fusarium solain is the most important pathogen of huge range of plant hosts, especially potato in the word, which causes tuber rot in storage and root rot of potato plants in fields. fifty four isolates from potato, bean, chickpea and cucurbit (melon, watermelon and cucumber) was subjected in a study through analysis of vegetative compatibility groups (vcgs) and rep-pcr dna fingerprinting. nit ...
