Prevalence of Pathogenicity Groups of the Blackleg Species Complex on Canola in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2011)North Dakota is the leading producer of canola (Brassica napus) in the United States. Blackleg, caused by two species of Leptosphaeria, L. maculans (Desm.) Ces & De Not and L. biglobosa, is an economically important disease ... -
Prevalence, Diversity, and Management of Goss’s Leaf Blight (Clavibacter nebraskensis) in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Goss’s wilt and leaf blight (GWLB) (Clavibacter nebraskensis) is a yield-limiting disease of corn (Zea mays L.). Research conducted in other corn growing states have indicated yield losses as severe as 60% on susceptible ... -
Resistance Screening and QTL Mapping in Wheat and Triticale Against Root-Lesion Nematode
(North Dakota State University, 2020)Root-lesion nematode (RLN, Pratylenchus neglectus) invades the roots of wheat and causes yield losses throughout the world. Genetic resistance is the most economical and effective means to manage RLNs. The objective of ... -
Resistance to Septoria Musiva in Hybrid Poplar
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Septoria leaf spot and stem canker, caused by the fungal pathogen Mycosphaerella populorum Thompson (Anamomorph = Septoria musiva Peck). An efficient greenhouse disease resistance screening is essential for the development ... -
Revisiting Management Practices for Diseases of Spring Barley in North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2018)Common barley diseases observed in North Dakota include net blotch, spot blotch, leaf and stripe rust, bacterial leaf streak, and Fusarium head blight. The first objective of this research was to determine the effect of ... -
Rhizoctonia Solani Damping-Off of Sugarbeet: Effect of Plant Growth Stage on Disease Severity and Management Using Penthiopyrad
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Rhizoctonia solani is the most damaging pathogen on sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris L.) in North Dakota and Minnesota. Research was conducted to evaluate penthiopyrad for controlling R. solani and determine when the plants are ... -
Scanning Electron Microscope Examination of Sugarbeet Flowers and Fruits Infected with Phoma Betae
(North Dakota State University, 1980)There are three natural openings in a mature sugarbeet fruit which serve as avenues of entry for microorganisms: 1) the basal pore which contains dried parenchyma and vascular tissue and is the point where the flower was ... -
Screening of Germplasm Accessions from the Brassica Species for Resistance against PG3 and PG4 Isolates of Blackleg
(North Dakota State University, 2011)Blackleg is a disease of canola and rapeseed cultivars that is caused by the fungus Leptosphaeria maculans (Desm.) Ces. & de Not., and it is by far the most destructive pathogen of canola in North America. In recent years, ... -
Seed to Seedling Transmission of Colletotrichum lindemuthianum in Dry Edible Pinto Bean
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Dry bean anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum lindemuthianum, is a damaging disease that can cause significant reductions in seed quality and yield. The purpose of this study was to determine the races of C. lindemuthianum ... -
Sensitivity of Rhizoctonia Solani and Aphanomyces Cochlioides to Fungicides, and Fitness of Tetraconazole-Resistant Isolates of Cercospora Beticola after Exposure to Different Temperature Regimes
(North Dakota State University, 2015)North Dakota and Minnesota produce 55% of USA sugarbeet production. Diseases caused by Rhizoctonia solani, Aphanomyces cochlioides, and Cercospora beticola are the major diseases affecting sugarbeet production in North ... -
Sensitivity of Sclerotinia Sclerotiorum Isolates From North Central US to Azoxystrobin and Boscalid
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Azoxystrobin and boscalid are fungicides frequently used to manage diseases caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary in many broadleaf crops in North Central US. . Continued use of these compounds can induce ... -
Spatial and Temporal Sensitivity of Alternaria Species Associated with Potato Foliar Diseases to Demethylation Inhibiting and Anilino-Pyrimidine Fungicides
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Early blight and brown spot, caused by Alternaria solani and Alternaria alternata, respectively, are important foliar diseases of potato, affecting both tuber yield and quality. Most of the commercial cultivars lack ... -
Studies on the Biology of Soybean Cyst Nematode
(North Dakota State University, 2011)Soybean cyst nematode (SCN), Heterodera glycines, is a threat to soybean production in North Dakota. Studies on the biology of SCN were conducted to improve my understanding and management of this plant parasitic nematode. ... -
Studies on the Development and Management of Powdery Scab and Root Gall Formation Caused by Spongospora Subterranea on Potato (Solanum Tuberosum L.)
(North Dakota State University, 2015)The biotroph protozoan Spongospora subterranea causes root gall formation and powdery scab on potato. Symptoms on tubers affect directly the quality and marketability of the harvested product while infection in roots are ... -
