Pathogen identification and biological fungicides screening for Plumbago auriculata blight in China

mycolabadmin

Researchers in China identified a fungal disease affecting Plumbago auriculata (cape leadwort), a popular ornamental plant. The disease was caused by Fusarium ipomoeae, a fungus that causes yellowing and death of plant tissue. Scientists tested seven biological pesticides and found that osthole, a natural compound, was most effective at controlling the fungus and preventing disease.

Rice spikelet rot disease is a serious problem affecting rice crops in China. Researchers identified five different Fusarium fungal species causing this disease in the Hangzhou region. The study found that two fungal species work together to cause the disease, and that temperature affects how well the fungi grow. Understanding which fungi are present locally will help farmers develop better strategies to prevent and control this damaging disease.

Researchers identified different Fusarium fungi causing potato dry rot in Russia and tested how they grow at various temperatures and how aggressively they damage potatoes. They found that F. sambucinum is the most dangerous because it can grow and cause rot even during cold storage, unlike other species. This research helps farmers understand which pathogens threaten their crops and how storage conditions affect disease development.
