Abstract

The aim of study was to include different studies viz., isolation, purification, pathogenicity and identification of pathogen. Fusarium root and stem rot caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. radicis-cucumerinum is one of the most damaging diseases of cucumber. Characteristic symptoms of root and stem rot disease noticed were wilting, shrinking of stem, rotting of crown zone and stem. In severe cases infected plants dried completely with deadly appearance. The tradition of the pathogen turned into isolated from the samples collected from diseased plants of cucumber. The pure culture of pathogen changed into received by means of hyphal tip technique. On the basis of morphological and cultural studies, the pathogen was identified as F. oxysporum f. sp. radicis-cucumerinum and further its pathogenicity was confirmed. Isolation, Purification and Pathogenicity of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. radicis-cucumerinum here under reviewed briefly.

Conclusion

Cucumber root and stem rot disease caused by Fusariumo xysporum f. sp. radicis-cucumerinum leading to rotting of stem, roots. Characteristic symptoms of root and stem rot disease noticed were wilting, shrinking of stem, rotting of crown zone and stem. In severe cases infected plants dried completely with deadly appearance. The information available on the disease as well as pathogen is very limited. Hence, it changed into very important to examine diverse components of the pathogen and also the sickness.
