“…Members of the FIESC are frequently identified as causal agents of rot in melon (Dias & Terao, 2006; Li et al, 2019; Lima et al, 2021; Wonglom & Sunpapao, 2020). In our study, we found F. sulawesiense , isolated from Canary melon, and F. pernambucanum , from Galia and Piel de Sapo.…”

“…In our study, we found F. sulawesiense, isolated from Canary melon, and F. pernambucanum, from Galia and Piel de Sapo. F. sulawesiense was also isolated from Canary melon in the north-east region of Brazil, together with another phylogenetic species, close to F. lacertarum (Lima et al, 2021). F. pernambucanum was described by Santos et al (2019), after reporting its occurrence on insects, and until now its potential to cause disease in plants was unknown, aside from its association with rice grains in Brazil (Avila et al, 2019).…”

“…Species of the Fusarium incarnatum‐equiseti species complex (FIESC) have been recently reported as the causal agent of postharvest rot in melon from Thailand (Nuangmek et al, 2019; Wonglom & Sunpapao, 2020) and China (Li et al, 2019). In Brazil, isolates collected from fruits with initial symptoms of water‐soaked lesions were identified as members of the FIESC based on the evaluation of morphological characters, and recently F. sulawesiense , as well as another phylogenetic species, have been identified (Dias & Terao, 2006; Lima et al, 2021).…”

Fusarium rot of melon is caused by severalFusariumspecies

Fusarium rot of melon, caused by species of the genus Fusarium, has become an important postharvest disease for many Brazilian producers. Due to the delayed onset of symptoms, this disease is often only detected when fruits arrive at the importing country, thus generating economic loss for the exportation of the fruit. This study was developed with the aim of investigating which Fusarium species cause fruit rot in melon and to evaluate any differences in aggressiveness and development of symptoms. Species were identified through phylogenetic analysis of two loci and morphological markers. The 28 isolates obtained from diseased melon fruits of different commercial cultivars were identified as Fusarium falciforme (FSSC), F. sulawesiense, F. pernambucanum (FIESC), and F. kalimantanense (FOSC). Three isolates belong to a new phylogenetic lineage within the F. fujikuroi species complex (FFSC). All isolates were tested for pathogenicity, and first symptoms of rot in Canary melon were observed 2 days after inoculation. Isolates of F. falciforme and F. sulawesiense were shown to be more aggressive. Our results extend information on Fusarium species that cause fruit rot in melon and support the development of management strategies, as there is currently no efficient control for this disease. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the occurrence of species of the FSSC, FOSC, and FFSC from muskmelon fruits in Brazil.

“…Among these species are found mycotoxins producers that can cause food contamination and impact the humans and animals health (Avila et al, 2019). In Brazil, F. sulawesiensis has been reported associated with rice (Oryza sativa L.) (Avila et al, 2019) and melon (Cucumis melo L.) (Lima et al, 2020). This paper represents the first record of F. sulawesiensis associated with fava beans.…”

Antagonism of Trichoderma on the control of Fusarium spp. on Phaseolus lunatus L.

Biological control strategies have become an important tool in the sustainable management of plant diseases. This paper aims to report the Fusarium species that affect fava beans (Phaseolus lunatus L.) grown in Paraíba, Brazil, and determines the potential of Trichoderma isolates to control these fungi. Two Trichoderma and ten Fusarium isolates from fava bean seeds were selected. The beans were obtained from cultivated areas in the municipalities of Remígio, Alagoa Grande and Campina Grande, in Paraíba state. Phylogenetic analyzes based on DNA sequences of the translation elongation factor 1-α (TEF1) gene resolved the Fusarium isolates into four species belonging to the F. fujikuroi and F. incarnatum-equiseti species complexes. In vitro tests showed that the two isolates of Trichoderma tested presented antagonistic potential against the pathogens from the fava beans evaluated. In the direct comparison test, the growth of the pathogens was reduced from the seventh day in both treatments. Sporulation also showed a reduction, but only for 40% of Fusarium isolates. This work demonstrates that Trichoderma isolates can be used as a sustainable alternative to manage Fusarium spp. infection of fava beans.
