[ 1 ] It is found in both indoor and outdoor plants, although it is more common in indoor plants due to overwatering, heavy potting media, or containers with ...
Brown root rot disease is a destructive plant disease caused by fungi, primarily Phellinus noxius. [1] It affects a wide range of plants, including trees, shrubs, and crops, leading to root decay, poor growth, and often the death of the plant.

Similarly to apple trees, crown rots of strawberries caused by P. cactorum can be partially diagnosed by cutting the crown of the plant and observing brown vascular tissues, and root rots by brown or black stunted roots. [7] Leather rot of strawberry is an additional disease affecting strawberry plants, with P. cactorum being the causal agent ...
They include some of the most destructive plant pathogens, such as the causal agents of potato late blight [9] root rot, [10] and sudden oak death. [11] [12] Despite not being closely related to the fungi, the oomycetes have developed similar infection strategies, using effector proteins to turn off a plant's defenses. [13]

Phoma leaf spot and root rot Phoma betae: Phymatotrichum root rot (cotton root rot) Phymatotrichopsis omnivora = Phymatotrichum omnivorum. Phytophthora wet rot Phytophthora drechsleri
Rhizoctonia solani root rot on corn roots, magnified 0.63X. Damping off can be prevented or controlled in several different ways. Sowing seeds in a sterilized growing medium can be effective, although fungal spores may still be introduced to the medium, either on the seeds themselves or after sowing (in water or on the wind).
Thielaviopsis is a small genus of fungi in the order Microascales, [1] and family Ceratocystidaceae. [2] The genus includes several important agricultural based pathogens.The most widespread is T. basicola, the causal agent in several root rot diseases of economically important crop species including cotton and a variety of vegetables.
