... BACKGROUND: Fusarium wilt (Fusarium udum Butler), an important soil-borne disease of pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.)], causes significant yield losses across the major pigeonpea production regions. Widespread and high diversity in F. udum hampers the breeding for pigeonpea wilt resistance. The study aimed to elucidate the pathogenic diversity and distribution of F. udum variants in major pigeonpea g ...

Abstract:
... Bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum is a distributed and worldwide soilborne disease. The application of biocontrol microbes or agricultural chemicals has been widely used to manage tomato bacterial wilt. However, whether and how agricultural chemicals affect the antagonistic ability of biocontrol microbes is still unknown. Here, we combined potassium phosphite (K-Phite), an environmen ...

Abstract:
... Pythium soft rot is a major soilborne disease of crops such as ginger (Zingiber officinale). Our objective was to identify which Pythium species were associated with Pythium soft rot of ginger in China, where approximately 20% of global ginger production is located. Oomycetes infecting ginger rhizomes from seven provinces were investigated using two molecular markers, the internal transcribed spac ...

Abstract:
... Common scab of potatoes is a soil-borne disease causing considerable economic losses worldwide. Although many management practices to control this disease have been introduced, the lack of efficiency increases an interest in effective and environmentally friendly alternatives. One of the attractive approaches to manage the disease is an application of antagonistic strains into soil. The aim of thi ...
... BACKGROUND: Ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe) is widely planted around the world. Owing to continuous planting, ginger is seriously affected by soilborne fungi, bacteria, and nematodes. Although preplant soil fumigation is an effective prevention strategy of soilborne diseases, individual fumigant and technology could not provide effective control of ginger soilborne disease. In our research, di ...
... Winter squash (Cucurbita maxima cultivar Golden Delicious) produced in Oregon’s Willamette Valley for edible seed production has experienced significant yield losses because of a soilborne disease. The symptoms associated with this disease problem include root rot, crown rot, and vascular discoloration in the stems, leading to a severe late season wilt and plant collapse. Through field surveys, Fu ...
... Sanqi ginseng Fusarium root rot caused by Fusarium oxysporum, is a serious soil-borne disease that threatens the sustainable development of the sanqi ginseng industry. This study determined the distinct soil bacterial communities from healthy and diseased plant rhizospheres. The ability of beneficial bacteria isolated from the diseased plant rhizosphere with different inoculation concentrations to ...

Abstract:
... Fusarium basal rot (FBR) is a soil-borne disease that affects Allium species worldwide. Although FBR has long been recognized as a major constraint to the production of economically important Allium species, information that could support disease management remains scattered. In this review, the current knowledge on the causal agents, symptomology and epidemiology, impact, and management strategie ...
... Kiwifruit vine decline syndrome (KVDS) is a serious soil-borne disease that degrades the fine roots of both Actinidia chinensis var. deliciosa and var. chinensis. The disease seems to be the result of an interaction between several soil-borne pathogens, mostly oomycetes, and waterlogging. This work investigates the pathogenicity of the oomycete Phytopythium chamaehyphon recently isolated from root ...
... The changed phenolic acids (PAs) allelochemicals exuded by the roots induced by interspecific interactions is related to intercropping alleviates soil-borne disease. However, the presence of PAs in roots and root exudations and their rhizodeposition under intercropping are still unclear. Hydroponic and soil experiments of wheat, faba bean, and wheat intercropped with faba bean were conducted, and ...
... Bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum is a serious soilborne disease that results in severe losses to tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) production in China. In this study, a novel RPA-LFD assay for the rapid visual detection of R. solanacearum was established using recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) and lateral-flow dipstick (LFD). The RPA-LFD assay was performed at 37°C in 30 min with ...
... Potato scab caused by pathogenic Streptomyces is a serious soil-borne disease on potato. In this study, a new Streptomyces strain 5A-1 was isolated from potato samples in China. Based on morphological characteristics, 16S rDNA gene sequence analyses, it was identified as Streptomyces griseoplanus (Streptacidiphilus griseoplanus), pathogenicity of which was measured by the methods of small potato c ...
... Verticilllium wilt of cotton is a devastating soil-borne disease, which is caused by Verticillium dahliae Kleb. Bacillus velezensis strain AL7 was isolated from cotton soil. This strain efficiently inhibited the growth of V. dahliae. But the mechanism of the biocontrol strain AL7 remains poorly understood. To understand the possible genetic determinants for biocontrol traits of this strain, we con ...
... BACKGROUND: Chloropicrin (PIC) mixtures of 1,3‐dichloropropene and chloropicrin (DD:PIC), dazomet, and metam sodium (MS) have been applied as chemical alternatives to methyl bromide (MB) in Spanish strawberry nurseries since MB was banned as a soil fumigant in 2005. These chemical alternatives were applied to soil in two Spanish strawberry nurseries between 2003 and 2017 to test their efficacy aga ...
... Ginseng root rot caused by Fusarium solani (F. solani) is a highly destructive soil-borne disease that happens worldwide, which seriously affects the growth and development of many types of crops. Frankia casuarinae CcI3 (Frankia F1) microbial inoculants F1 on the mycelial integrity of pathogenic fungus F. solani, the growth of ginseng plants, and the structure of rhizosphere microbial community w ...

Abstract:
... Soil-borne diseases have become increasingly problematic for farmers producing crops intensively under protected agriculture. Although soil fumigants are convenient and effective for minimizing the impact of soil-borne disease, they are most often detrimental to beneficial soil microorganisms. Previous research showed that bio-activation of soil using biological control agents present in biofertil ...
... Fusarium crown rot (FCR), typically caused by Fusarium pseudograminearum, is a severe soil-borne disease that, in recent years, has become an emerging threat to Chinese wheat crops. For the first time in this study, we investigated and compared the proteomic characteristics of two Chinese wheat varieties (04 Zhong 36 and Xinmai 26) at 24, 48, and 72 h post-inoculation using label-free quantitative ...
... Sclerotium rolfsii causes destructive soilborne disease in numerous plant species, and biological control may be a promising and sustainable approach for suppressing this widespread pathogen. In this study, the antagonistic effect against S. rolfsii of 10 Trichoderma strains was tested by the dual culture method, and a gliotoxin-producing strain, T. virens T23, was shown to be the most effective, ...
... Cotton Verticillium wilt (CVW) is a severe soilborne disease caused by the pathogen Verticillium dahliae, and it has a great impact on cotton production. Previous studies found that the biocontrol agent Chaetomium globosum CEF-082 and its metabolic filtrate could reduce the incidence of CVW; however, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. The metabolic crude extract of CEF-082 increased the sen ...
... In 2020, a commercial basil (Ocimum basilicum) field in Riverside County, California, showed symptoms of a soilborne disease. Affected plants were stunted, foliage wilted and dried up, and plants eventually died. Internal crown tissue was light to dark brown in color. Symptomatic plants were surface disinfested, and tissues from the necrotic crowns were placed on acidified (25% lactic acid) corn m ...
