  Rhizoctonia solani, Fusarium solani, F. oxysporum F. equiseti and F. semitectum were found to be associated with root rot and wilt symptoms of fodder beet plants collected from different fields in New Valley governorate, Egypt. All the obtained isolates were able to attack fodder beet plants (cv. Starmon) causing damping-off and root rot/wilt diseases. R. solani isolate FB1, F. solani isolate FB7 and F. oxysporum isolate FB11 were the more virulent ones in the pathogenicity tests. The efficacy of 4 different potassium salts for controlling damping-off, root rot and wilt diseases in fodder beet were evaluated in vitro and in vivo. In vitro studies, all the tested potassium salts were significantly suppressed growth of the pathogenic fungi at different concentrations. KHCO3 showed superior higher inhibitory effect on redial growth of the teste.. View More»
