Phytotoxicity of Extracts of and on Tomato Seedling Physiology.

Phytotoxicity caused by secondary metabolites of botanical extracts is a drawback in agriculture. The objective of this study was to evaluate the phytotoxic effects of methanolic extracts of and on the germination and physiological variables of tomato seedlings. The results indicated that high doses of both extracts ( and ) inhibited tomato seed germination, while their mixture ( + ) promoted germination by 100%.

[Fusarium species associated with basal rot of garlic in North Central Mexico and its pathogenicity].

Garlic in Mexico is one of the most profitable vegetable crops, grown in almost 5,451ha; out of which more than 83% are located in Zacatecas, Guanajuato, Sonora, Puebla, Baja California and Aguascalientes. Blossom-end rot caused by Fusarium spp is widely distributed worldwide and has been a limiting factor in onion and garlic production regions, not only in Mexico but also in other countries. The presence of Fusarium oxysporum has been reported in Guanajuato and Aguascalientes.
