Real-Time Quantitative and Ion-Metal Indicator LAMP-Based Assays for Rapid Detection of .

is one of the most devastating and cosmopolitan plant pathogens. Rapid detection of can provide growers an advantage in knowing what control measures should be taken to minimize crop damage and financial losses caused by it. Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is a fast, sensitive, and specific nucleic acid amplification method that does not require a thermal cycler.

Soybean seed treatment: how do fungicides translocate in plants?

Background: Soybean seed treatment with fungicides is a well-established disease management strategy. However, the movement of these fungicides within seedlings is not always well characterized. Thus, the objectives of this study were to determine the pattern of translocation of three fungicides with different modes of action applied as a seed treatment, and the effect of soil type on translocation.

Meta-Analytic Modeling of the Decline in Performance of Fungicides for Managing Soybean Rust after a Decade of Use in Brazil.

An apparent decline of fungicide performance for the control of soybean rust in Brazil has been reported but the rate at which it has occurred has not been formally quantified. Control efficacy and yield response to three fungicides applied as single active ingredients (a.i.

Selection of endophytic fungi from comfrey (Symphytum officinale L.) for in vitro biological control of the phytopathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.).

Biological control consists of using one organism to attack another that may cause economic damage to crops. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a very common strategy. The white mold produced by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.
