Abstract
Rhizome rot poses a significant threat to ginger cultivation, caused by a complex interaction of pathogens such as Pythium aphanidermatum, Fusarium oxysporum, Ralstonia solanacearum, Sclerotium rolfsii and Meloidogyne incognita. The pathogens were individually inoculated at 75, 105 and 135 days after planting (DAP), as well as in various combinations, to evaluate disease severity and symptom development. Results revealed that R. solanacearum exhibited the highest disease severity and fastest symptom development across all stages of inoculation, followed by P. aphanidermatum, F. oxysporum, S. rolfsii and M. incognita. The combined inoculation of pathogens significantly increased disease incidence and rhizome rot compared to individual inoculations, indicating synergistic interactions among the pathogens. Sequential inoculation experiments demonstrated that pre-infection by M. incognita exacerbated disease severity, highlighting the role of nematodes in predisposing plants to secondary infections.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Phytopathology publishes original and review articles on all scientific aspects of applied phytopathology in agricultural and horticultural crops. Preference is given to contributions improving our understanding of the biotic and abiotic determinants of plant diseases, including epidemics and damage potential, as a basis for innovative disease management, modelling and forecasting. This includes practical aspects and the development of methods for disease diagnosis as well as infection bioassays.
Studies at the population, organism, physiological, biochemical and molecular genetic level are welcome. The journal scope comprises the pathology and epidemiology of plant diseases caused by microbial pathogens, viruses and nematodes.
Accepted papers should advance our conceptual knowledge of plant diseases, rather than presenting descriptive or screening data unrelated to phytopathological mechanisms or functions. Results from unrepeated experimental conditions or data with no or inappropriate statistical processing will not be considered. Authors are encouraged to look at past issues to ensure adherence to the standards of the journal.
