Potential inoculum sources of Fusarium species involved in asparagus decline syndrome and evaluation of soil disinfestation methods by qPCR protocols.

Background: Asparagus decline syndrome (ADS), one of the most important diseases affecting asparagus crops, causes important yield losses worldwide. Fusarium proliferatum, F. oxysporum and F.

Fusarium Consortium Populations Associated with Asparagus Crop in Spain and Their Role on Field Decline Syndrome.

Asparagus Decline Syndrome (ADS) is one of the main phytosanitary problems of asparagus crop worldwide. Diseased plants and soil samples from 41 fields from three main production areas of Spain were surveyed. Eight species belonging to seven species complexes were identified in soils: , , , , , , and .

Genetic Diversity and Vegetative Compatibility of Species Complex of Strawberry in Spain.

is a soilborne fungus that is a pathogen to >100 plant species. It is the causal agent of crown and root rot in strawberry. We collected 100 isolates from diseased plants and soils from two distinct geographic areas of strawberry production in Spain: plant nurseries located in the north-central region of the country and fruit production fields located in the southwestern region.
