“…Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum and/or F. solani was a minor disease of mungbean in Australia. However, the incidence and severity of the disease has increased substantially in recent years and yield losses of up to 80% were reported in the susceptible mungbean cultivars (Kelly, 2017). Outbreaks and spread of diseases were reported in other legume crops, such as soybean (Sconyers et al, 2006) and chickpea .…”

“…This has led to many commercial cultivars being highly vulnerable to a range of biotic stresses. Fusarium wilt, caused by Fusarium oxysporum species, was formerly a minor disease but is now becoming an increasing issue impacting mungbean yield globally ( Kelly 2018 ; Sun et al 2019 ). In Australia, disease incidence and severity has substantially increased over the last few years.…”

“…In Australia, disease incidence and severity has substantially increased over the last few years. For instance, up to 80 % yield losses have been reported, and in the 2020–21 season, Fusarium wilt caused approximately $4.8 million in losses to the industry ( Kelly 2018 ; GRDC 2022 ). Fusarium oxysporum can infect mungbean crops throughout all developmental stages and initially infects the plant by entering the epidermis of the root tissue and causes root decay.…”

“…Symptoms can include leaf chlorosis or necrosis, stunting, defoliation, as well as overall death of the plant ( Pottorff et al 2012 ). Fusarium wilt can cause significant yield losses ranging from 30 % to 100 % ( Gentry 2010 ; Kelly 2018 ; Sun et al 2020 ). Agronomic management of Fusarium wilt is challenging due to the persistence of F. oxysporum in soil for long periods and ease of transmissibility.…”

Fusarium wilt constrains mungbean yield due to reduction in source availability

Mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) R. Wilczek var. radiata] is an important source of plant protein for consumers and a high-value export crop for growers across Asia, Australia, and Africa. However, many commercial cultivars are highly vulnerable to biotic stresses, which rapidly reduces yield within the season. Fusarium oxysporum is a soil-borne pathogen that is a growing concern for mungbean growers globally. This pathogen causes Fusarium wilt by infecting the root system of the plant resulting in devastating yield reductions. To understand the impact of Fusarium on mungbean development and productivity and to identify tolerant genotypes, a panel of 23 diverse accessions were studied. Field trials conducted in 2016 and 2021 in Warwick, Queensland, Australia under rainfed conditions investigated the variation in phenology, canopy and yield component traits under disease and disease-free conditions. Analyses revealed a high degree of genetic variation for all traits. By comparing the performance of these traits across these two environments, we identified key traits that underpin yield under disease and disease-free conditions. Aboveground biomass components at 50% flowering were identified as significant drivers of yield development under disease-free conditions and when impacted by Fusarium resulted in up to 96% yield reduction. Additionally, eight genotypes were identified to be tolerant to Fusarium. These genotypes were found to display differing phenological and morphological behaviours, thereby demonstrating the potential to breed for tolerant lines with a range of diverse trait variations. The identification of tolerant genotypes that sustain yield under disease pressure may be exploited in crop improvement programs.

“…Increasingly, farmers are switching from crop rotations to continuous no‐till cultivation of maize for economic reasons. Continuous culture and no‐till or reduced tillage have led to an increase in disease pressure, resulting in severe production losses in maize (Bergstrom & Nicholson, 1999; Kelly, 2017; Lipps, 1988; White, 1999). Similar practices in sorghum cultivation engender a potential for an increased inoculum density of C. sublineola because of its ability to survive and reproduce on weedy relatives (Xavier, Pfeiffer, Parreira, Chopra, & Vaillancourt, 2017), and to overwinter on crop debris (Bergstrom & Nicholson, 1999; Lipps, 1988).…”

Performance of novel sorghum germplasm in Pennsylvania and their response to anthracnose

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) has the potential to become a widespread commercial feedstock crop in Pennsylvania, either in rotation with maize (Zea mays L.) or grown alongside it. In other locations where sorghum has been grown for a long time, it is attacked by Colletotrichum sublineola Henn. ex Sacc. & Trotter, a fungal pathogen that causes anthracnose (Colletotrichum sublineola) leaf blight (ALB), thereby diminishing yield. Field surveys were carried out in 2011, 2012, and 2016 to monitor the presence of C. sublineola in commercial sorghum fields in six Pennsylvania locations. Senescing, lower leaves developed lesions that yielded Colletotrichum sp., including isolates of C. sublineola. The pathogen was not recovered from field debris, and ALB symptoms were not observed on the younger leaves of plants. In preparation for widespread cultivation of sorghum in Pennsylvania, we evaluated the performance, in field and greenhouse tests, of 158 experimental lines and commercial hybrids, which had been improved in several states in the United States and in other parts of the world. Sources of resistance to ALB and other foliar diseases were discovered that should be useful in breeding programs targeted for Pennsylvania and for northeastern U.S. climatic conditions. Lines received from ICRISAT, especially ICSB94, showed the highest level of resistance in the field.
