Phenotypic Characterization of Leptosphaeria maculans Pathogenicity Groups Aggressiveness on Brassica napus
(North Dakota State University, 2015)One of the most destructive pathogens of canola (Brassica napus L.) is Leptosphaeria maculans (Desm.) Ces. & De Not., which causes blackleg disease. This fungus produces strains with different virulence profiles (pathogenicity ... -
Plant-Parasitic Nematodes in Field Pea and Potato and their Effect on Plant Growth and Yield
(North Dakota State University, 2018)In this study, surveys were conducted in pea and potato fields in North Dakota and Central Minnesota to investigate the incidence and abundance of plant-parasitic nematodes in these fields. Moreover, the effect of the pin ... -
Plant-Parasitic Nematodes on Sugarbeet in North Dakota and Minnesota
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Field surveys were conducted in the Red River Valley (RRV) of North Dakota and Minnesota during 2016 and 2017 to determine the incidence, abundance, and distribution of plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs) on sugarbeet. ... -
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 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 ... -
Understanding and Managing Rhizoctonia Solani in Sugarbeet
(North Dakota State University, 2013)Rhizoctonia crown and root rot of sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris L.) caused by Rhizoctonia solani Kühn is one of the most important production problems in Minnesota and North Dakota. Greenhouse studies were conducted to determine ...
