Asparagus decline syndrome (ADS) poses a critical challenge to the productivity and quality of asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.), threatening sustainability its cultivation. This study evaluated impact ADS over four years in Western Europe by comparing soils with without history syndrome. The results revealed consistent reduction yield, losses 36% 2019 2020 23% 2021 compared for control soils. also increased proportion non-commercial spears, peaking at 52% 2020. Key parameters were...
Asparagus Decline Syndrome (ADS) is one of the main phytosanitary problems asparagus crop worldwide. Diseased plants and soil samples from 41 fields three production areas Spain were surveyed. Eight Fusarium species belonging to seven complexes identified in soils: F. oxysporum, proliferatum, redolens, solanisensu stricto, equiseti, culmorum, compactum acuminatum. oxysporum was most prevalent species. Statistical correlation (R2 = 88%) established between inoculum density average temperature...
Fusarium solani is an emerging pathogen reported on Spanish strawberry crops both in nurseries and fruit production fields, causing wilt root rot. Pathogenicity, morphocultural characteristics, sensitivity to biocides of 103 F. isolates recovered from symptomatic plants soils areas were determined. The differences within between field relation these parameters analyzed. Considerable variability morphological pathogenic characteristics was observed among the areas. majority not (62%), only 38...
To avoid the use of agrochemicals in agriculture, alternative methods are emerging to control plant pathogens. Some growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) can be used as biocontrol agents since they induce protection against The aim this study was evaluate protective effect several PGPR strains main Fusarium species involved asparagus decline syndrome (ADS): F. proliferatum, oxysporum f. sp. asparagi and redolens. In vitro antagonism assays showed that all bacteria inhibited mycelium growth...
Abstract BACKGROUND Asparagus decline syndrome (ADS), one of the most important diseases affecting asparagus crops, causes yield losses worldwide. Fusarium proliferatum , F. oxysporum and redolens are among main species associated with ADS. To explore their potential inoculum sources effectiveness soil disinfestation practices for ADS management, molecular methods based on a quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) were developed. qPCR‐based tools demonstrated advantages in...
Fusarium solani is a soilborne fungus that pathogen to >100 plant species. It the causal agent of crown and root rot in strawberry. We collected 100 F. isolates from diseased plants soils two distinct geographic areas strawberry production Spain: nurseries located north-central region country fruit fields southwestern region. The aims this study were accurately identify within species complex (FSSC) based on multilocus sequence typing, determine genetic diversity population structure...
