SOCIAL CIRCLE – Surging flocks of finches at backyard feeders coupled with reports of sick birds are raising questions among wildlife lovers across Georgia.
NUR-SULTAN. KAZINFORM – 52 new cases of pneumonia flagged as pneumonia with COVID-19-related signs have been registered in Kazakhstan in the past 24 hours, Kazinform cites сoronavirus2020.kz.
Fusarium wilt, caused by a soilborne fungus, is one of the most damaging diseases of watermelons worldwide. Since it was discovered in 1894, itâs been a battle for producers to manage through crop rotation and chemical fungicides.
The fungus is persistent in both seedless and seeded varieties, and its spores can last for many years in the soil. While there are some watermelon varieties with known resistance, they are not resistant to all strains of the pathogen.
University of Georgia researchers have now developed a faster way to detect the diseaseâs presence and determine the races, or groups of strains, of the pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum (FON) that cause the disease.
