Abstract

The plant pathogen, Macrophomina phaseoli, has been a serious problem in forest tree nurseries in southern states and in California. Losses up to 80% occurred in localized areas (33, 71, 73). It also has been reported as the cause of diseases on many economically important hosts such as beans, cotton, corn and potatoes in subtropical and tropical areas of the world (98). It has caused blights, rots, wilts and other types of diseases in over 300 host species including both herbaceous and woody plants. A typical symptom of diseased pines is a charcoal like appearance of infected tissue due to the formation of tiny black microsclerotia (25, 71, 93).
