METALAXYL SENSITIVITY AND AGGRESSIVENESS OF PHYTOPHTHORA COLOCASIAE ISOLATES ASSOCIATED WITH TARO LEAF BLIGHT DISEASE

Leaf blight caused by Phytophthora colocasiae is the most devastating disease of taro (Colocasia esculenta). P. colocasiae isolates belonging to four morphogroups were assessed for their aggressiveness and reaction to the metalaxyl fungicide Ridomil Gold 60WP. Based on sporangia morphology and parti...

Description
Summary:Leaf blight caused by Phytophthora colocasiae is the most devastating disease of taro (Colocasia esculenta). P. colocasiae isolates belonging to four morphogroups were assessed for their aggressiveness and reaction to the metalaxyl fungicide Ridomil Gold 60WP. Based on sporangia morphology and partial β tubulin sequence homology all fungal isolates associated with and recovered from infected leaves were identified as P. colocasiae. Significant differences (P
