Effect of Xylopia frutescens Essential Oil on the Activation of Defense Mechanisms Against Phytopathogenic Fungi Open
The induction of resistance in plants involves prior activation of physiological and biochemical systems in the face of external stimuli, promoting greater tolerance to biotic stresses. Faced with the growing challenge of emerging diseases…

<span><i>Colletotrichum siamense</i></span> Identified as the Causal Agent of Anthracnose in <span><i>Eugenia dysenterica</i></span> in the Brazilian Cerrado Open
Eugenia dysenterica , commonly known as cagaiteira, is a plant native to the Cerrado biome that produces edible fruits and has medicinal properties. Cagaita fruit exhibiting anthracnose symptoms were collected from naturally occurring plan…
Ramularia leaf spot: PCR-based methods reveal widespread distribution of Ramulariopsis pseudogycines and limited presence of R. gossypii in Brazil Open
Whilst Brazil is the fourth largest cotton producer globally, incidence of ramularia leaf spot (RLS) has decreased yield across all growing regions. In 2017-18 and 2018-19 growing seasons, ca. 300 fungal samples were collected from seven B…
Evaluation of wheat genotypes for field resistance to wheat blast caused by Magnaporthe oryzae pathotype Triticum (MoT) and correlation between yield loss and disease incidence in the Brazilian Cerrado Open
Wheat blast caused by Magnaporthe oryzae pathotype Triticum (MoT) has become an important fungal disease on wheat and is now present in most of the important wheat-producing tropical regions of the world. This study evaluated head blast in…
Irrigation management strategies for reducing verticillium wilt severity in eggplants Open
Verticillium wilt in eggplants is a root disease of difficult control. In this study, we report the relationship between soil water availability and the disease intensity in order to identify management strategies that are unfavourable to …

Current Status of Soybean Anthracnose Associated with Colletotrichum truncatum in Brazil and Argentina Open
Brazil and Argentina have a combined soybean area of 53.6 million hectares, which accounts for over half of the total global production. The soybean crop in South America extends from latitude 8–10° S to 32–36° S. Such a vast, almost conti…
Both MAT1‐1 and MAT 1‐2 idiomorphs present in rice blast populations (<i>Magnaporthe oryzae</i>) collected in rice fields in northern Brazil Open
This is the first study to detect Magnaporthe oryzae rice isolates carrying the MAT1-1 idiomorph in Brazil. Despite the low frequency of the MAT1-1 idiomorph, the study showed that sexual reproduction is possible in the northern riceproduc…

Management of Plant Disease Epidemics with Irrigation Practices Open
Adequate water provision to roots is essential to warrant sustainable harvests of agricultural crops globally. However, water applied in excess or in deficit may result in the development of many fungal and bacterial plant diseases, which …
Dynamics of common bean web blight epidemics and grain yields in different tillage systems Open
The effects of tillage systems on the dynamics of web blight caused by Thanatephorus cucumeris and yield of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) cv. Pérola were studied in three field experiments during the planting seasons of 2004/2005, 2005/…
Impact of anthracnose on the yield of soybean subjected to chemical control in the north region of Brazil Open
Losses due to soybean anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum truncatum, have not been systematically quantified in the field, and the efficacy of chemical control of this disease is not known. This study shows an estimate of losses associat…
