... Most studies have observed diseases targeting C. lanceolata leaves, including leaf blight, powdery mildew, downy mildew, and leaf spot (Table 2) (Choi et al. 2009;Guarnaccia et al. 2021;Li and Liu 2019;Zhu et al. 2023). Phytopythium oedochilum causes root rot in C. lanceolata (Garibaldi et al. 2022), and fungi of the genus Phytoplasma cause witches' brooms, which kill growing points and induce copious production of side shoots (Babaie et al. 2007). ...

... User-friendly tools and techniques available for practitioners and decision-makers can be, in fact, crucial for the economic appraisal of hedges, such as in cost-benefit analysis promoted by public administrations or damage evaluation on public or private green spaces. The increase in biotic and abiotic diseases in hedge species (Biondi et al., 2022;Hansford et al., 2017;Gullino et al., 2021;Kodati et al., 2023) can further justify this interest. However, expeditious economic method based on expert judgments -such as parametric equations -have not been developed for urban hedges. ...

... Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from numerous plant EOs have proven antifungal potential against B. cinerea (Servili et al., 2017;Pinto et al., 2020;Di Francesco et al., 2022) and Monilinia spp. (Khumalo et al., 2017;Santoro et al., 2018;Spadaro et al., 2021). The main goal of this work was to evaluate and compare the in vitro antifungal activity of eight commercial EOs in vapor phase against the postharvest pathogens B. cinerea and M. fructicola. ...

... The cultivation of both fresh market and processed tomatoes is hindered by various diseases caused by fungi, bacteria, phytoplasmas, viruses, and viroids. Among these pathogens, Alternaria solani, Botrytis cinerea, Fusarium oxysporum, and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum stand out as the most critical fungal adversaries (Gilardi et al., 2021). Disease management strategies often rely heavily on the frequent application of fungicides, which can be both expensive and time-consuming (Wenneker and Thomma, 2020). ...

... Among the species, Pythium aphanidermatum is one of the most significant pathogens and widely distributed with a broad host range infecting 261 plant species, including cucumber, tomato, zucchini, and pea [4]. Typically, P. aphanidermatum induces root rot and damping-off in various host plants [5][6][7], in which these diseases often exhibit temperature-dependence at optimal development temperatures of 30-37 °C [8]. ...

... Evarcha michailovi over annual plants in Hatay and Gaziantep by Yağmur et al. (2009) and Micaria pulicaria by Seyyar (2009) (Öztürk et al., 2013). 1,2,5,7,8,11,20,22,24 ,25,26,29,30,32,34,3 6,38,40,44,45,47,49, 52,53 8,9,17,18,24,27,32,47,49 2,7,8,9,11,13,16,19,2 0,22,24,25,26,29,31, 32,34,36,37,44,45, 46,49 The spiders were one of the most abundant predators and had an important role in olive pest control (Viggiane, 1977). Thaler and Zapparoli (1993) reported that 70 species were found belonging to eight families with the common families being Linyphiidae, Lycosidae, Dysderidae, Gnaphosidae and Theridiidae in Italian olive groves. ...

... Several fungal pathogens have been found in association with Campanula spp. in Italy including Sclerotinia sclerotium on Ca. carpatica (Garibaldi et al. 2002), Coleosporium campanulae on Ca. rapunculoides and Ca. trachelium (Garibaldi et al. 2017b(Garibaldi et al. , 2021, and Golovinomyces orontii on Ca. glomerata and Ca. rapunculoides (Garibaldi et al. 2012(Garibaldi et al. , 2018. ...

... Biología Categoría hospedantes y síntomas asociados a R. solani R. solani se caracteriza por causar enfermedades en un amplio rango de hospedantes por su condición de parásito necrotrófico, y a su vez, infectar diferentes órganos de la planta, entre estos, la corona [28], los tubérculos [1], las raíces [18], las hojas [29] y los tallos [4]. En interacción con sus hospedantes se evidencian síntomas, que son la expresión de la enfermedad, manifestándose alteraciones en el funcionamiento normal de la planta y que pueden ser observados a simple vista. ...

... Conversely, F. equiseti itself also acts as a plant pathogen with a broad host range and produces various toxins. In fact, it is a pathogen of multiple cereals, including wheat [9], corn [10], triticale, oats, and barley [11], and other crops, such as cowpea [12], beans [13], melon [14], lettuce [15], sunflower [16], jujube, and radish [17]. Some flowers, trees, and Chinese medicinal plants, including hickory [18], white pine seedlings [19], cumin [20], fishtail palm [21], hybrid cymbidium, clover, rice flatsedge [22], white mangrove [23], mulberry [24], largehead atractylodes rhizome, and Chinese magnolia vine fruit [25] can also be infected with F. equiseti. ...

... One of the most common species of Alternariagenus is A. alternatathat was reported producing several toxins such as alternariol (AOH), alteratoxin II (ATX II), and alternariol monomethyl ether (AME) [12]. Furthermore, it causes different diseases including the leaf spot on various plant hosts in different countries such as on Farfugium japonicum in China [13], Chili (Capsicum annuum L.) in Pakistan [14] and on Anemone japonicain Italy [15]. However, the A.alternata fungus has not been reported as a pathogen of apricot leaf spot in Iraq yet, especially in Kerbala provinces. ...
