PATHOGENICITY OF FUSARIUM OXYSPORUM AND CURVULARIA LUNATA AS A MYCOHERBICIDE FOR THE CONTROL OF ECHINOCHLOA CRUSGALLI (BARNYARD GRASS)

View through CrossRef
ABSTRACT Echinochloa crusgalli (Barnyard grass) is one of the most invasive paddy (Oryza sativa L.) weed. Pure culture isolates of several fungi including Fusarium oxysporum (SBT # 17) and Curvularia lunata (SBT # 30) obtained from field sites were tested as candidates for the microbial control of barnyard grass. A survey was conducted in the paddy fields of eight southern districts of Andhra Pradesh to document the fungal pathogens of barnyard grass. Pure cultures were isolated from the naturally-infected barnyard grass leaves collected from different paddy - growing areas. A total of 51 fungi were isolated and two isolates were pathogenic on E.crusgalli under laboratory condition (> 70%). Furthermore F.oxysporum (SBT # 17) and C. lunata (SBT # 30) exhibited more pathogenicity under green house conditions on E. crusgalli and holds a great promise as biocontrol agents of barnyard grass.
