Abstract Background Anthracnose is a soil-borne tomato ( Solanum lycopersicum L.) disease caused by Colletotrichum coccodes and associated with early dying syndrome postharvest fruits decays leading to significant yield losses. A biocontrol trial was conducted using Penicillium sp. Gliocladium spp. isolates recovered from soil compost for the evaluation of their antifungal potential against target pathogen. Results Cell-free culture filtrates microbial agents tested at different...
Tan spot, caused by Pyrenophora tritici-repentis (Ptr), is a widespread foliar disease of wheat, which becoming important in North Africa particularly Tunisia. To assess the pathogenic variation Ptr Tunisia, characterized 84 single conidium isolates were from durum wheat cultivars, sampled during 2017-2018 cropping season. The virulence assessed, under controlled conditions, on standard differential set six genotypes. races 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 identified, first such information available for...
Septoria tritici blotch (STB) is a major disease problem of wheat worldwide. To optimize the introgression resistance genes in elite genotypes throughout traditional or molecular breeding programs, full understanding quantitative inheritance to Zymoseptoria tritici, plant height (PH), and thousand kernel weight (TKW) needed. In this study, maternal cytoplasmic effects STB were investigated using P1 (susceptible, high-yielding line) P2 (resistant, low-yielding durum lines their F1, RF1, F2,...
Tan spot disease caused by Pyrenophora tritici-repentis was becoming more bred in Tunisia during the last decade. The search for resistant varieties against increased virulence diversity of P. is presently considered as a priority. Seven most commercialized durum wheat (cvs. Maâli, Salim, Razzak, Monastir, Khiar, Inrat100, and Sculptur) were inoculated with five characterized fungal strains under field conditions, two seasons. variance analysis revealed that Ech8F6 B4.8 used inoculation are...
Tan spot, caused by Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, is a severe worldwide wheat foliar disease and has become common in Tunisia. Two hundred field surveys were conducted northern Tunisia during the 2017–2019 seasons to determine intensity correlation of tan spot with agricultural practices environmental factors. The infested 67% visited regions. highest prevalence (87.5%), incidence (> 30%), severity 10%) observed sub-humid regions, contrary middle semi-arid Logistic regression was used...
