Host plant‐specific volatiles of Beauveria bassiana‐colonized plants initiate trophic plant–aphid–predator cascades

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 10, Page 9538-9552, October 2026.
Endophytic colonization of melon plants by B. bassiana modifies the crop volatile profiles in a genotype‐dependent manner. A predator choice is biased toward endophytically colonized plants infested with aphids revealing a guardian within effect of the fungus of great potential in integrated pest management.

Chemical Control of Phytophthora sojae: Sensitivity of Isolates and Effects on Soybean Seed Germination and Seed Rot

Journal of Phytopathology, Volume 174, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Phytophthora sojae is an oomycete responsible for causing seedling damping‐off and root and stem rot in soybean. Seed treatment with chemical products is one of the management strategies that can be used to control the disease. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the in vitro sensitivity of P.

Two Decades of the Immersiporthe knoxdaviesiana (Cryphonectriaceae) Canker Outbreak Driven by Clonal Pathogen Lineages

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 5, September‐October 2026.
A single clonal lineage has driven Cape beech canker for nearly two decades. However, the fungus was also found in healthy trees, suggesting that this emerging disease may have a more complex origin than a simple pathogen introduction. ABSTRACT Immersiporthe knoxdaviesiana (Cryphonectriaceae) causes an aggressive canker disease on native Myrsine ...

Differentiation of the Foliar Microbiomes From Co‐Occurring Grass Species Reflects Their Recency of Invasion

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
This study examined the foliar fungal and bacterial microbiomes of two co‐occurring invasive grasses, recently introduced Oplismenus undulatifolius and long‐established Microstegium vimineum. Oplismenus communities exhibited lower diversity within samples and greater turnover between samples.

Anaerobic soil disinfestation for the management of soilborne pathogens: A review

, 2022
Anaerobic soil disinfestation (ASD) is an ecological alternative to chemical soil fumigation. The method consists in incorporating easily decomposable organic materials into the soil, followed by irrigation to saturation and soil cover with impermeable ...

Occurrence of Phytophthora cinnamomi in the Rhizosphere of Declining Leucadendron elimense subsp. salteri in South Africa

Forest Pathology, Volume 56, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Phytophthora cinnamomi is a destructive invasive plant pathogen reported from more than 5000 hosts and across all continents except Antarctica. In South Africa, P. cinnamomi poses a substantial threat to native flora, particularly members of the Proteaceae.

Contribution of Fallen Leaves to Primary Inoculum and the Progress of Glomerella Leaf Spot in Apple Orchards

Journal of Phytopathology, Volume 174, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT Glomerella leaf spot (GLS), caused by Colletotrichum spp., persists between seasons mainly in fallen leaves on the orchard floor and in dormant plant tissues, which act as primary inoculum sources for disease initiation in spring. Because early epidemic development is strongly dependent on the availability of primary inoculum, practices such ...

Morphological and Multilocus Phylogenetic Characterisation of Fusarium Species Causing Fruit Rot in Pumpkins

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 4, July‐August 2026.
Eight Fusarium species are associated with the pumpkin rot in north‐east Brazil. ABSTRACT Pumpkin (Cucurbita) is a cucurbit of great economic and social importance in Brazil. However, fruit rot caused by Fusarium species represents a significant limitation to crop production, compromising quality and hindering commercialisation.
