During a survey of diversity of fungal pathogens in nurseries of Babylon and Karbala Provinces of Iraq in 2021. Trichocladium griseum associated with diseased ornamental plants, Gazania sp. and Carpobrotus edulis was isolated and identified relied on its morphological features, ITS rDNA sequencing and phylogenetic analysis. The T. griseum fungus has not yet been described previously in Iraq. Hence, this is the first report of Trichocladium griseum presence in Iraq.

“…Additionally, Alternaria alternata was recorded in Greece causing leaf spot and fruit rot of loquat [1]. Previous reports [9,10] indicated to dissemination of leaf spot disease on Quince and Apricot trees in Alhussiania city, Karbala Province, Iraq. Thus, in season of 2020-2021, a survey was accompanied in the orchards of.…”

First Report of Aspergillus Leaf Spot on Loquat (Eriobotrya japonica) Caused by Aspergillus fumigatus in Iraq

Leaf spots were noticed commonly on loquat trees in Alhussiania city, Karbala Province, Iraq. The associated fungus was isolated and identified as Aspergillus fumigatus based on the morphology (cultural and microscopic features) and molecular analysis (sequence of internal transcribed spacer rDNA). The pathogenicity of isolated fungus was confirmed through Koch’s postulates that were implemented by comparing the disease symptoms with those of naturally appeared and re-isolated from the inoculated leaves and re-identified. To best of our knowledge, this is the first record of A. fumigatus as causative agent of leaf spot on loquat (E. japonica) tree in Iraq and worldwide.

“…F. solani is one of the main causes of several diseases [5] including rotting of the roots of pepper, and it leads to significant economic losses and a significant reduction in the amount of production in protected and open cultivation [6]. The use of biological control agents through the use of non-phytopathogenic microorganisms that have inhibitory effects on plant pathogens in cultivated soil without affecting the rest of the microorganism groups is one of the important means as alternatives to chemicals [7,8] and among those microorganisms used in biological IOP Publishing doi:10.1088/1755-1315/1262/3/032010 2 control are bacteria that encourage root growth Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria ( PGPR ) as Azotobacter spp. and Azospirillum spp.…”

2023

The aim of this study was isolating and diagnosing the causative agent of root rot of pepper in Karbala province and control it using some biological applications. The results showed that the main pathogenic fungus of root rot and damping-off pepper in Karbala Province was Fusarium solani. This fungus was highly pathogenic by inhibition germination of all pepper seeds on the culture medium and in plastic pots. The treatment of integration between among Bacillus velesensis + Biohealth + Beltanol displayed the highest effectiveness in control of the pathogenic F.solani, as it reduced the disease incidence and severity to 9.00, 6.66%, respectively, compared to the pathogenic fungus alone, which amounted to 100%, 86.6%, respectively.
