Biology, Epidemiology and Management of the Pathogenic Fungus Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi) Goid with Special Reference to Charcoal Rot of Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill)

Abstract: The fungus Macrophomina phaseolina is a causative agent of diseases in more than 500 plant species. The fungus is primarily soil‐inhabiting but is also seed‐borne in many crops including soybean. It survives in the soil mainly as microsclerotia that germinate repeatedly during the crop‐growing season. Low C : N ratio in the soil and high bulk density as well as high soil moisture content adversely affect the survival of sclerotia. The disease can be managed to some extent by cultural practices, organic amendme… Show more

“…Nevertheless, there is no information on yield losses due to charcoal rot on castor in Brazil. Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi) Goid., the fungus causing charcoal rot infects more than 500 plant species, including some of the world's most important crops such as soybean, cotton and corn (Su et al 2001;Gupta et al 2012). In Brazil, charcoal rot is common and it is considered one of the most prevalent disease problems of soybean (Reis et al 2014).…”

“…The fungal infection and disease development are favored by high temperatures and drought (Dhingra and Sinclair 1978;Grezes-Besset et al 1996;Gupta et al 2012) and in Northeastern Brazil, castor is usually cultivated under such conditions (Severino et al 2012). Moreover, castor is frequently cultivated in association or in rotation with crops that are also susceptible to M. phaseolina, such as cowpea, corn and cotton, allowing the maintainance of high populations of the fungus in the soil.…”

“…Macrophomina phaseolina is the causal agent of charcoal rot and occurs in more than 500 botanical species, affecting both legumes and grasses (Gupta et al, 2012). Presence of this pathogen in crops such as cowpea and soybean can result in epidemics (Gupta et al, 2012).…”

“…phaseolina are found in large numbers on plant hosts such as soybean, common beans, peanuts, cotton, sunflower, castor beans and maize (GUPTA et al, 2012;SARR et al, 2014). Tissue infection and colonization may occur in young plants; although symptoms such as charcoal or grey soybean root or stem rot are more visible in the reproductive phase.…”
