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.

Researchers in Thailand identified four different fungi causing diseases in culinary melons after harvest. They found that three fungus species cause damage to stored melon fruits, significantly reducing their quality and value. By testing various fungicides, they determined which chemical treatments effectively stop each fungus type, helping farmers protect their crops and reduce losses.

Apple replant disease: unraveling the fungal enigma hidden in the rhizosphere

mycolabadmin

Apple orchards that are replanted in the same location often develop a disease that stunts growth and can kill young trees. Scientists discovered that harmful fungi, especially Fusarium species, grow excessively in the soil around diseased trees. These harmful fungi appear to be the main culprits behind the disease. The study identified specific fungicides that can control these pathogenic fungi, offering hope for preventing the disease in future plantings.
