Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Nineteen fungal species associated with water hyacinth were identified.
- Observation Nine fungal species showed better virulence in preliminary testing.
- Intervention effect Five candidate fungi were virulent on water hyacinth, with disease severity 4.33 to 5.67 on a six-point scale.
- Intervention effect P. ultimum caused the highest water hyacinth disease severity, 5.67.
- Recommendation The authors propose five fungi as water hyacinth biocontrol agents, conditional on field performance and host specificity tests.
