Growth activities of the sugarbeet pathogens Sclerotium rolfsii Sacc., Rhizoctonia solani Khun. and Fusarium verticillioides Sacc. under cyanobacterial filtrates stress

Abstract

The present study was undertaken to explore the effect of cyanobacterial filtrates against three sugarbeet pathogens Fusarium verticillioides, Rhizoctonia solani and Sclerotium rolfsii. Based on this study, it was concluded that Phormidium fragile and Nostoc muscorum filtrates have potential for the suppression of phytopathogenic fungi. In vitro and in vivo growth, sporulation and sclerotial production were significantly inhibited with the almost species of cyanobacteria. © 2006 Asian Network for Scientific Information.
