First report of cassava leaf blight caused by Rhizoctonia solani AG-1 IA

Abstract: Cassava (Manihot esculenta) plants were observed in the Amazon region showing extensive leaf blight. The identity of the pathogen was confirmed based on morphological characteristics and the sequence of ITS region of the rDNA. Koch's postulates were fulfilled and pathogenicity was demonstrated. Cassava leaf blight, caused by Rhizoctonia solani AG-1 IA, is reported for the first time in Brazil.

“…solani symptoms can be observed mainly on roots and stems but also on leaves [ 24 ]. This fungus penetrates the leaf intercellular spaces through natural openings, such as stomata, and can infect crops, such as rice [ 25 , 26 ], turnip green [ 27 ], oil palm [ 28 ], and cassava [ 29 ]. In pepper, the main symptoms caused by R .…”

“…In adult plants, R. solani symptoms can be observed mainly on roots and stem, but also on leaves [24]. The fungus penetrates the leaf intercellular spaces through natural openings, such as stomata, and can infect the tissues of crops such as rice [25,26], turnip green [27], oil palm [28], or cassava [29]. In pepper, the main symptoms caused by R. solani are seedling damping-off, root and stem rot, and hypocotyl with necrotic spots [30,31].…”

“…Tester isolates were obtained from the Culture Collection of Microorganisms of Environmental and Agricultural Importance (CMAA) at Embrapa Meio Ambiente, Jaguariúna, São Paulo, Brazil, and grown on PDA in the dark at 25 °C for 48 h (Siviero et al 2019). After this period, a disc of mycelia from an AG tester was transferred to the extremity of a sterilised microscope slide containing a thin layer of 2% agar-water.…”
