Chlorine Dioxide: Antiviral That Reduces the Spread of ToBRFV in Tomato ( L.) Plants.

Tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV), being a mechanically transmitted disease, is usually difficult to control; therefore, an effective alternative to reduce transmission and replication in the crop is by spraying with chlorine dioxide (ClO) during routine crop management. In this research, the efficacy of chlorine dioxide (ClO) for ToBRFV management in a greenhouse and open field was determined. The phytotoxicity of ClO and its effective concentration against ToBRFV in plants were evaluated.

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%.

First report of Fusarium equiseti causing root and crown rot in tomato in Mexico.

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is one of the most important crops in Mexico due to its economic and nutritional value. Among the main diseases in tomato production is Fusarium wilt, which can cause 60% production losses (Ascencio et al, 2008).
