FUSARIUM WILT OF MUMS |

| Abstract:
Soil fumigation, cultural, chemical and biological methods were evaluated in the lab, greenhouse and field to develop procedures to control wilt of florist's chrysanthemum caused by Fusarium oxysporum. Terr-O-Cas (MC-33) was superior to Brom-O-Gas (MC-2) in killing the fungus in infested soil. Calcium nitrate-based fertilizer source, soil pH close to 7.0 and benomyl or thiophanate M drenches provided the best disease control. Biocontrol agents, like Trichoderma viride and Pseudomonas putida provided good protection against the wilt pathogen in small plot studies. | |
