Antagonistic interactions between maize seeds microbiome species and the late wilt disease agent, .

is a maize pathogen that causes severe damage to commercial corn fields in the late growth stages. Late wilt disease (LWD) has spread since its discovery in the 1960s in Egypt and is now reported in about 10 countries. The pathogen has a hidden endophytic lifecycle in resistant corn plants and secondary hosts such as green foxtail, watermelon lupin and cotton.

Integrated Management of the Cotton Charcoal Rot Disease Using Biological Agents and Chemical Pesticides.

Charcoal rot disease (CRD), caused by the phytopathogenic fungus , is a significant threat to cotton production in Israel and worldwide. The pathogen secretes toxins and degrading enzymes that disrupt the water and nutrient uptake, leading to death at the late stages of growth. While many control strategies were tested over the years to reduce CRD impact, reaching that goal remains a significant challenge.

The cotton charcoal rot causal agent, , biological and chemical control.

The fungus causes charcoal rot disease (CRD) in cotton, whose symptoms develop in the late stages of growth and result in wilting and death. Despite significant research efforts to reduce disease incidences, effective control strategies against are an ongoing scientific effort. Today's CRD control tends toward green options to reduce the chemicals' environmental footprint and health risks.

Molecular Real-Time PCR Monitoring of Onion Basal Rot Chemical Control.

basal rot disease (FBR) is a destructive threat to onion crops around the globe. It causes seedlings' death, development disruption, and pre- and post-harvest bulb infection and rotting, with a concern for toxin infestation. It is an emerging disease in Israel, with new reports from farms nationwide.
