First Report of Rhizoctonia solani Associated with Black Scurf of Potato Tubers in Lesotho
Rhizoctonia solani is considered a destructive and widely distributed soil borne pathogenic fungus causing black scurf on potato tubers globally. Morphological, microscopic characteristics and virulence studies were done on ten R. solani isolates isolated from four districts of Maseru, Thaba-tseka (Mantsónyane), Quthing and Berea representing three ...

First Report of Black Scurf Caused by Rhizoctonia solani AG-3 on Potato Tubers in Mauritius [PDF]
Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is considered as one of the most economically important non-sugar food crops in Mauritius, with annual production of over 14,000 tonnes (Statistics Mauritius 2018). In September 2019, in a seed potato field located in St Pierre, approximately 10% of tubers showed the presence of numerous irregular-shaped black scurf ...

Short‐term impacts of cover crops in maritime potato (Solanum tuberosum) systems
Cover cropping is a soil conservation practice widely investigated in agronomic crops, but less is known about cover crop implications in specialty cropping systems, particularly in a high disturbance system like potato (Solanum tuberosum L.).

ABSTRACT In 2019, the Dadan Archaeological Project (CNRS/RCU/AFALULA) identified a Late Antique village 1 km south of ancient Dadan in the al‐ʿUlā valley (northwest Saudi Arabia). Three excavation seasons at this site (2021–2023) have uncovered a massive building constructed in the late third or early fourth cent.

Efficacy of selected Pseudomonas strains for biocontrol of Rhizoctonia solani in potato
Thirty seven bacterial isolates from faba bean (Vicia faba L.) root-nodules were screened for their antagonistic activity against eight Rhizoctonia solani strains isolated from infected potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tubers.
