Disease

Fusarium Patch:

Disease ID : ToPDB_DD033

Summary :

Introduction : Fusrium Patch disease is a fungal plant disease and causes huge loss in Tomato crop production.

Pathogen cause : Fusarium oxysporum, Monographella nivalis var. nivalis

Host distribution : Lycopersicon esculentum

Sign and Symptoms:

Symptoms begin as yellowing of older leaves.

Etiology:

Fusarium oxysporum, the cause of diseases, is a common tomato fungus that lives in the plant’s vascular system, which carries water from the roots to the leaves and pathogen expants its pathogenecity throughout the whole plant. Pathogen active in the rainy weather .

Gene(s) Resposible for Disease:

Gene ID :

Control:

Biocontrol: Streptomyces rochei ACTA1551

Chemical control: Prochloraz, Bromuconazol, Benomyl, Carbendazim and Fludiozonil
