PATHOGENCITY OF SCLEROTIUM ROLFSII ON DIFFERENT CROPS AND EFFECT OF INOCULUM DENSITY ON COLONIZATION OF MUNGBEAN AND SUNFLOWER ROOTS FOUZIA YAQUB AND SALEEM SHAHZAD
Abstract: Sclerotium rolfsii proved to be highly pathogenic on sunflower,
mungbean and sugar beet, mildly pathogenic on tomato, lentil, sweet
pumpkin and cabbage, and non-pathogenic on cauliflower plants in pot
experiments. Increase in inoculum density of S. rolfsii caused
gradual reduction in growth parameters of sunflower and mungbean plants
whereas a positive correlation was observed between root colonization
and population of S. rolfsii in soil. Pest & Disease Research Lab., Department of Botany, University of Karachi, Karachi- 75270. Pakistan. |
