SUMMARYIncorporation of rice straw into soil has traditionally been an important method of recycling nutrients and improving soil productivity. Currently, although the effects of straw incorporation on disease severity have been documented, the dynamics of the pathogen in soil after straw incorporation are poorly understood. In the present study, rice straw with various proportions of diseased straw was incorporated at three separate locations (SuPu town, SuSong County and FengYang County) in Anhui province, China. The pathogen dynamics in paddy soil and disease severity of sheath blight during two continuous years from April 2010 to April 2012 were investigated. For all three locations, the amount of pathogen inoculum that persisted in the soil increased with increases in the proportion of diseased straw incorporated. Incorporation of 0·3 and 0·5 diseased straw into soil increased the amount of pathogen inoculum in the soil significantly, whereas incorporation of 0·1 diseased straw into soil had no significant effect on the pathogen inoculum compared with the control (no straw incorporated) or disease severity. Incorporation of healthy rice straw (no disease) resulted in a significant decrease in disease severity, whereas proportions of 0·3 and 0·5 diseased straw resulted in a significant increase of disease severity compared with the control. These results suggested that incorporation of diseased straw enhanced pathogen numbers in soil during the whole decomposition period and increased disease severity. To avoid soil-borne disease accumulation, severely diseased straw should be removed from the field or pre-treated before incorporation.

ABSTRACT Foliar blight and death of signalgrass (Urochloa spp.) pastures are caused by the Rhizoctonia solani fungus. This study aimed at determining which pathogens from the Rhizoctonia species complex are associated with leaf and sheath blight in Urochloa and rice, in the Colombian Llanos. Sympatric areas of Urochloa pastures adjacent to rice cropping areas were sampled using a linear transect system. The pathogens were identified using morphological traits, molecular detection based on specific primers and sequencing of the ITS-5.8S rDNA region. R. solani AG-1 IA predominated as the pathogen associated with foliar blight in all samples from U. brizantha cv. 'Toledo' and hybrid Urochloa cv. 'Mulato'. Besides R. solani AG-1 IA (18 % of the samples), Rhizoctonia oryzae-sativae (71 %) and Sclerotium hydrophilum (11 %) were also detected. In the cross-pathogenicity test, the R. solani AG-1 IA fungus was the most aggressive to Urochloa, while R. oryzae-sativae produced very mild infection symptoms. This is the first report of R. oryzae-sativae and S. hydrophilum associated with the complex of rice sheath blight diseases in Colombia.

Following the discovery of substantial differences in the development and severity of Fusarium wilt in Linum usitatissimum L. (flax) wilt nurseries in western Canada, a study of the population structure of Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lini (Bolley) Snyd. & Hans using vegetative compatibility analysis was initiated. Vegetative compatibility was determined using nitrate non-utilizing mutants. From a total of 105 isolates, 74 were assigned to 12 vegetative compatibility groups (VCG 0440-04411), 22 were not compatible with any other isolates and 9 did not produce mutants. The populations of F. oxysporum f.sp. lini in Fusarium wilt nurseries in western Canada were significantly different. There was a predominant VCG in each of the nurseries, which was either nonexistent or not common in other nurseries, VCG 0440 in Indian Head, 0441 in Treherne, 0442 in Morden-80, 0443 in Saskatoon, and 0444 in Morden-60. There were only three overlapping VCGs; VCG 0440 was common to Morden-60 and Indian Head and VCGs 0442 and 0444 were common to Morden-60 and Morden-80. The differences in disease development and severity observed previously may be due to the differences in the population structure of the pathogen. These findings have significant implications for the approaches to breeding for Fusarium wilt resistance in flax.Key words: Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lini, flax, Fusarium wilt, genetic diversity, vegetative compatibility.
