Preventive and Curative Effects of Treatments to Manage Strawberry Root and Crown Rot Caused by .

Strawberry root and crown rot caused by the fungus is an emerging disease that has caused yield losses of up to 70% in Mexico and other regions worldwide. This research evaluated the effects of biological and chemical fungicides applied as preventive and curative applications for controlling root and crown rot caused by in strawberries under greenhouse conditions. Treatments included these chemical fungicides: prochloraz, prochloraz + thiram, cyprodinil + fludioxonil, difenoconazole + azoxystrobin, iprodione, captan, thiram, pydiflumetofen + fludioxonil, fluxapyroxad + pyraclostrobin, and hymexazol; each was applied at commercial doses.

Comparative Performance of Fungicides and Biocontrol Products in the Management of Fusarium Wilt of Blackberry.

Fusarium wilt of blackberry (FWB) is an emerging disease caused by a species complex. More than 3,000 ha of blackberry ( spp.) crops have been lost in Mexico since 2011.

An Emerging Strawberry Fungal Disease Associated with Root Rot, Crown Rot and Leaf Spot Caused by in Mexico.

In the 2017 strawberry season, several transplant losses reaching 50% were observed in Zamora, Michoacán Valley, Mexico, due to a new fungal disease associated with root rot, crown rot, and leaf spot. In this year the disease appeared consistently and increased in the following seasons, becoming a concern among strawberry growers. Thus, the aim of this research was to determine the etiology of the disease and to determine the in vitro effect of fungicides on mycelial growth of the pathogen.
