Effects of humic acid and thyme essential oil alone or in combination for controlling late blight diseased of tomato plants was tested under field conditions. The tested concentrations of humic acid had no inhibitory effect on Phytophthora infestans. While, thyme at concentrations 8.0 mL L-1 caused complete inhibition in linear growth of P. infesta...

Isolation trials from strawberry plants showing mainly wilt symptoms grown at Behera, Ismailia, Kalubia and Giza governorates yielded Fusarium oxysporum , F.solani , Macrophomina phaseolina , Pythium ultimum , Phytophthora cactorum , Rhizoctonia solani and Sclerotium rolfsii. Pathogenicity test of the four isolates of F.oxysporum revealed that they...

Late blight disease caused by P. infestans of potato plants was controlled under field conditions using potassium or sodium bicarbonates alone or in combination with Citral. In laboratory experiments, results indicated that complete inhibition in linear growth of P. infestans was obtained with potassium or sodium bicarbonates at 2 % and Citral at 0...

Using of the hot water (95-100 o C) by Sprinklers system at rate 40 L/m 2 and Buried pipes system for 2.0 h in addition to soil solarization were applied to control cucumber root rot disease which caused by R. solani, F. solani S. rolfsii and P. ultimum under commercial greenhouse conditions. Results indicated that complete reduction in total count...

Sour rot caused by Giotrichum candidum is the most important disease affecting lime fruits. Effect of citral and chitosan as single or in combination for controlling sour rot disease of lime fruits was studied. Complete inhibition of linear growth and spore germination of G. candidum was obtained with citral at concentrations of 5.0 ml / l and chit...

Potato crop (Solanum tuberosum L.) is one of the most important vegetable crops in Egypt. Integrated treatments between humic acid at concentrations 6.0 or 8.0 ml / l followed by sulfur at 3.0 or 4.0 g / l were evaluated against early blight disease under sever field infection. All tested concentrations of humic acid had no inhibitory effect on Alt...

The individual and interaction of vasicular arbuscular mycorrhiza (VAM), Glomus mosseae and antagonistic biological control agents (BCAs) I. e., Trichoderma harzianum, Penicillium oxalicum and Bacillius subtilis were studied on normal root–rot disease incidence of geranium plants. Application of combined VAM and BCAs reduced root- rot caused b...

It is well known that serological methods are very useful for detecting some plant pathogens. In this study, the antisera of five Fusarium spp., i.e., F. moniliforme, F. solani, F. oxysporum, F. roseum and F. semitectum were used to investigate the serological relationships between them. Results illustrated that, there was a specificty as for F. ox...

The effect of hot water on viability of pathogenic fungi under laboratory conditions, in addition to evaluate its effect as soil treatment on cucumber root rot disease in pot experiments was studied. The purified isolates, of Rhizoctonia solani, Fusarium solani, Sclerotium rolfsii and Pythium ultimum were tested for pathogenic ability on cucumber p...
