Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Berkeleyomyces basicola, newly reported in Serbia, caused significant disease symptoms on carrot roots and seedlings in inoculation assays.
- Intervention effect Machine-washed carrot roots had a much higher disease incidence than manually washed roots (75% versus 15%).
- Observation Morphology and multilocus phylogeny confirmed the presence of B. basicola in the carrot samples.
- Observation Koch’s postulates were confirmed after artificial inoculation of carrot roots by spraying or injecting spore suspension or inserting colony fragments.
- Observation B. basicola infected and sporulated only on wounded carrot seedlings.
- Observation The authors suggest carrot could be infected earlier than postharvest.
- Observation A 2024 follow-up survey of fresh market symptomatic carrot roots confirmed the continuous presence of B. basicola in Serbia.
