“…Saxena and Kumar [53] worked on the mycoherbicidal potential of Alternaria alternata ITCC (LC#508) in northern India to control parthenium weed and reported 50% damage of plants in vitro detached leaf and whole plant bioassay at 96 hours after treatment at a concentration of 1 × 10 6 spores/mL. Sclerotium rolfsii (teleomorph: Athelia rolfsii ) incites a severe collar rot disease on parthenium [54, 55].…”

Congress grass, Parthenium hysterophorus L., of the family Asteraceae (tribe: Heliantheae), is an erect and much branched annual or ephermeral herb, known for its notorious role as environmental, medical, and agricultural hazards. It is believed to have been introduced into India and Australia from North America and in the last few years the weed has emerged as the seventh most devastating weed in Africa, Asia, and Australia. The aim of this review is to provide general information about the physiology, distribution, ill effects, and management of parthenium. Control of parthenium has been tried by various methods, but no single management option would be adequate to manage parthenium, and there is a need to integrate various management options. Successful management of this weed can only be achieved by an integrated approach with biological control as the key element.

“…C. arvensis can be naturally infected by A. alternata (Abdessemed et al, 2021), as is the case for isolate ET4. Alternaria species have been evaluated for their potential as mycoherbicides against weeds such as Parthenium hysterophorus (Abdessemed et al, 2020; Saxena & Kumar, 2007, 2010), Xanthium strumarium (Abdessemed et al, 2020; Abdessemed, Kerroum, Bahet, & Zermane, 2019), Parthenium sp. (Meena et al, 2016), and Amaranthus retroflexus (Ghorbani et al, 2000; Lawrie et al, 2000, 2001; Lawrie et al, 2002; Qiang et al, 2006).…”

Field bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis L.) has been described as one of the most noxious weeds in agricultural soils worldwide. Furthermore, its control by conventional herbicides can promote the emergence of resistant biotypes as well as negatively affect human health and the environment. An ecological alternative for weed management is the use of phytopathogenic fungi. In this study, 68 fungal strains were isolated from C. arvensis leaves exhibiting symptoms of fungal disease. Seven isolates were confirmed as pathogenic to C. arvensis in a detached leaf assay. Filtered cell‐free cultures (FCFC) of these seven isolates were then evaluated. FCFC of TV1 and ET4 showed the best results, inhibiting seedling dry weight by up to 48% in vivo and shoot dry weight up to 35% in growth chamber assays. Phytopathogenic evaluation of both isolates showed disease severity >67%, and an ability to inhibit root dry weight by up to 80%. Inhibitory effects were not observed on chickpea, bean, sorghum, maize, or tomato plants, suggesting pathogenic specificity of TV1 and ET4 to field bindweed. Molecular identification revealed a high similarity of TV1 (100% identity) with Macrophomina phaseolina, and a high similarity of ET4 with Alternaria alternata (99.8% identity). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of M. phaseolina showing pathogenicity against field bindweed worldwide, and the first report for A. alternata in Mexico. The results reveal that these fungi and/or their FCFC have the potential to be used as bioherbicidal agents against C. arvensis.

“…The herbicidal activity of various fungal species including Trichoderma, Dreschlera, Alternaria and Aspergillus against parthenium has been reported in previous literature Javaid, 2012, 2013;Javaid et al, 2013Javaid et al, , 2017Bashir et al, 2018). Application of metabolites of Alternaria macrospora and A. alternata caused significant damaging to parthenium development (Saxena and Kumar, 2010;Kaur et al, 2014). Recently, Bashir et al (2018) evaluated metabolites of Aspergillus niger against P. hysterophorus, which were very effective in controlling the growth of P. hysterophorus.…”
