Effectiveness of Fludioxonil, a New-Generation Reduced-Risk Fungicide, Against Brown Rot Pathogens.

Brown rot, caused by Monilinia species, is a destructive disease of pome and stone fruits that can lead to significant losses in production. Disease management is mainly based on fungicide applications during the growing season. Fludioxonil, a "new-generation reduced-risk fungicide", is one of the most important fungicide used.

First Report of Collar and Root Rot of Lettuce Caused by in Serbia.

In March 2021, unusual plant stuning, collar, and wet root rot of lettuce ( L.) during the rosette stage was observed in two commercial fields in Serbia (44°58'N, 20°32'E; 44°45'N, 20°43'E). Disease incidence in the fields (≈ 0.

Genome Sequence Resource of TaB10 and KA13, Causal Agents of Stored Apple Rot.

The filamentous fungus is a well-known cereal pathogen and is a pathogen with a wide host range. Recently, both species were reported as causal agents of apple rot, raising concerns about postharvest yield losses and mycotoxin contamination. Here, we report genome assemblies of KA13 and TaB10, both isolated from fruits with symptoms of apple rot.

First Report of on lettuce in Serbia.

Lettuce ( L.) is the world's most popular leafy salad vegetable. One of the major challenges facing lettuce producers are fungal diseases that could, under favorable conditions, devastate the harvest (Raid, 2004).

Utilization of waste glycerol for the production of biocontrol agents nigericin and niphimycin by : bioprocess development.

Search for more environment-friendly methods for controlling plant diseases that would contribute to the goal of sustainability in agriculture is in focus. In the present study, the potential of isolated from soil sample in the production of biocontrol agents, nigericin and niphimycin, effective against storage apple pathogen was examined. Also, modelling and optimization of medium composition for biocontrol agent biosynthesis was performed.

Biocontrol activity and putative mechanism of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (SF14 and SP10), Alcaligenes faecalis ACBC1, and Pantoea agglomerans ACBP1 against brown rot disease of fruit.

This study aimed at evaluating the antagonistic activity of 16 bacterial strains for the control of brown rot disease caused by Monilinia fructigena, and M. laxa under in vitro and a semi-commercial large-scale trial. These bacterial antagonists' belonging to the genera Alcaligenes, Bacillus, Brevibacterium, Pantoea, Pseudomonas, and Serratia were previously proven effective for control of fire blight of apple.

Toxicity of mancozeb, chlorothalonil, captan, fluopyram, boscalid, and difenoconazole to Didymella applanata isolates from Serbia.

Field isolates of Didymella applanata, the causal agent of spur blight of raspberry, were evaluated in vitro for their sensitivity to mancozeb, chlorothalonil, captan, fluopyram, boscalid and difenoconazole. A total of 10 isolates, collected during 2013 at five localities in the major raspberry growing region in Serbia, and characterized as copper hydroxide, dithianon, and tebuconazole (sensitive), pyraclostrobin (sensitive or highly resistant) and fluazinam (sensitive or moderately resistant), were used in this study. The EC50 values for the isolates ranged from 1.

Monilinia spp. Causing Brown Rot of Stone Fruit in Serbia.

Brown rot is one of the most important pre- and postharvest fungal diseases of stone fruit worldwide. In Serbia, where production of stone fruit is economically important, Monilinia laxa and M. fructigena are widely distributed.

Toxicity of copper hydroxide, dithianon, fluazinam, tebuconazole and pyraclostrobin to Didymella applanata isolates from Serbia.

A study of the in vitro sensitivity of 10 isolates of Didymella applanata to copper hydroxide, dithianon, fluazinam, tebuconazole and pyraclostrobin, was conducted. The isolates were derived from diseased raspberry canes sampled during 2013 at five localities in western part of Serbia, known as the main raspberry growing region of the country. Prior to sensitivity testing experimental conditions for radial growth assay were optimized.

First Report of the Natural Infection of Robinia pseudoacacia with Alfalfa mosaic virus.

Robinia pseudoacacia L. (family Fabaceae), commonly known as black locust, is native to the southeastern United States, but has been widely planted and naturalized in temperate regions worldwide. In Europe it is often planted alongside streets and in parks, not only because of the dense canopy and impressive flower clusters in spring, but also because it tolerates air pollution well.

First Report of Brown Rot Caused by Monilinia fructicola on Nectarine in Serbia.

In August 2011, nectarine (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch var. nucipersica (Suckow) C.
