Flowerbulbs Diseases Incited by Rhizoctonia Species

  • Chapter
Rhizoctonia Species: Taxonomy, Molecular Biology, Ecology, Pathology and Disease Control

Abstract

Flower bulbs may need several cropping seasons to grow sufficiently in size to propagate and produce bulb flowers. As a result, even little damage per season adds to considerable economical losses in the total production of flowers and new bulbs, which both are important export products. Several diseases can be incited by R. crocorum (see section II), R. tuliparum (see section III) and different anastomosis groups (AGs) of R. solani (see sections IV.A-F).
