Rhizoctonia solani causes okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) seedling damping-off in South China with biological characterization and fungicide sensitivity profiling

mycolabadmin

Researchers identified Rhizoctonia solani as the fungus causing a serious disease in okra seedlings in southern China that was destroying about 35% of crops. The fungus dies when exposed to high temperatures (45-48°C) and grows best at about 28°C. Among seven tested antifungal treatments, a combination of trifloxystrobin and tebuconazole was most effective at controlling the pathogen, providing farmers with practical strategies for managing this crop disease.

Identifying Key Pathogens and Effective Control Agents for Astragalus membranaceus var. mongholicus Root Rot

mycolabadmin

Astragalus root, a valued traditional Chinese medicine, suffers from a serious fungal disease caused primarily by two Fusarium species. Researchers tested eight fungicides and nine beneficial bacteria to find the most effective treatments. The chemical fungicide carbendazim and a beneficial bacterium called KRS006 proved most effective, offering promise for developing better disease management strategies that combine both chemical and biological approaches.
