Stem, collar or root rot, caused by several fungal disease agent, are serious soil-borne diseases of peanut. Accurate and precise identification of the disease agent provides fundamental and precise information for integrated plant management. During the period from June to September 2021, symptoms consistent with collar rot disease, including dark-brown stem rot, chlorotic leaves, wilting, and eventual whole plant death, were observed on peanut plants cultivated in the different districts of Osmaniye Province of Turkey. The disease incidence ranged from 8.0 to 45.0% in the inspected fields with an average of 3.4% overall. Twenty-four single-spore representative isolates were obtained from surface-disinfected symptomatic tissues. Morphological characteristics of fungal mycelium, conidial and pycnidial structures on potato sucrose agar (PSA) and water agar (WA) closely resembled those described for <i>Lasiodiplodia</i> spp. All isolates caused typical collar rot symptoms upon artificial inoculation of peanut seedlings. Morphological identification of <i>Lasiodiplodia</i> spp. isolates was corroborated by MALDI-TOF and molecular analyses utilizing sequences from the internal transcribed spacer (<i>ITS</i>)<i>,</i> β-tubulin 2 (<i>tub2</i>) and translation elongation factor-1 alpha (<i>TEF1-α</i>) loci.

The yeast HXMG-1, which works effectively against the grey mould pathogen of grapes (<i>Botrytis cinerea</i>), was evaluated for its potential to generate volatile organic compounds as one of its modes of action. A double Petri dish assay was used to evaluate the effect of VOCs produced by HXGM-1 on mycelial and spore development of the target pathogens. Compared to the control, the VOCs produced by yeast HXMG-1 significantly reduced the growth of mycelium and spore germination of <i>Botrytis cinerea</i>. Specifically, the mycelial growth of <i>Botrytis cinerea</i> was completely restricted and the rate of spore germination of <i>Botrytis cinerea</i> was only 20.11% at a concentration of 1 × 10<sup>9</sup> CFU/mL. It was also found that the VOCs could significantly inhibit mycelial growth with an inhibition of 82.46% at a concentration of 1 × 10<sup>8</sup> CFU/mL. The VOCs caused the mycelium to grow curved, resulting in larger mycelial tips, fewer nuclei, and shorter mycelial septum spacing. In vivo tests, noninjure or injure grapes were artificially inoculated with the pathogen hyphal disc followed by biofumigation with VOCs produced by yeast HXMG-1, and the treatments (Wp2 and Wp3) significantly controlled pathogenic infection, confirming the results of in vitro tests. By molecular biological identification based on comparative sequence analysis of the 18S rDNA gene, the HXMG-1 strain was identified as <i>Hanseniaspora uvarum.</i> Through the creation of a phylogenetic tree, HXMG-1 was recognised as a member of the Ascomycota, Hemiascomycota, Yeasts, and <i>Hanseniaspora</i> sp. families. In conclusion, the yeast strain HXMG-1 created VOCs that significantly inhibited the development of <i>Botrytis cinerea</i> on grapes and is expected to be further developed and utilised.
