Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation Root rot of Lespedeza davurica reached disease incidence of up to 100% in surveyed areas of Huan County, Gansu Province, China.
- Observation Four fungal isolates from symptomatic roots of Lespedeza davurica were identified as a novel species of Monosporascus.
- Intervention effect Inoculated Lespedeza davurica plants showed 100% disease incidence, higher than non-inoculated controls.
- Intervention effect Inoculated Lespedeza davurica plants had significantly reduced root length (81.3%) compared with non-inoculated controls.
- Intervention effect Diniconazole had the lowest EC50 (0.5198 μg/mL) of the tested fungicides against the pathogen, lower than carbendazim.
- Intervention effect Carbendazim at 10 μg/mL completely inhibited mycelial growth of the pathogen.
- Observation Carbendazim had an EC50 of 2.791 μg/mL against the pathogen.
- Observation This study is the first report of M. lespedezae sp. nov. as a pathogen of Lespedeza davurica.
- Recommendation Both tested fungicides show promise for further evaluation against this root rot.
