Abstract A description is provided for Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. phaseoli. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Phaseolus vulgaris (common bean), P. coccineus (scarlet runner bean). May also infect some lupin varieties (Armstrong & Armstrong, 1963). Not pathogenic to other types of beans such as Lima beans (P. limensis var. limenanus), cowpea (Vigna sinensis[Vigna unguiculata]) or soyabeans (Soja max[Glycine max]). DISEASE: Fusarium Yellows, vascular wilt. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Widespread where Phaseolus vulgaris is grown, including Brazil, Czech Republic, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Egypt, Greece, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Mexico, Peru, Poland, Rwanda, Slovakia, The Netherlands, UK, USA, (former) Yugoslavia. TRANSMISSION: Conidia are dispersed locally by water flow and splash droplets. Chlamydospores may be dispersed by movement of contaminated soil or plant debris. The fungus is also seed-borne by conidial contamination (Kendrick, 1934).

Abstract A description is provided for Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. tracheiphilum. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Glycine max, Vigna sinensis and V. unguiculata. DISEASE: A fairly widespread disease of both soyabean and cowpea and generally most serious in U.S.A. In cowpea the leaves become flaccid and chlorotic; in young plants a fairly rapid wilt can occur and leads to death. On older plants infection causes stunting, and chlorosis precedes leaf fall and a gradual wilt. The vascular tissue is necrotic and the roots may be more severely diseased than the above-ground symptoms suggest. The lower stem may become swollen before any chlorosis occurs. In the woody soyabean a generai wilt is not usually found. The plants become stunted, with the ehlorotic leaves gradually falling. Death ensues later than in the case of cowpea. Internal stem necrosis is a conspicuous symptom and removal of the petioles reveals this. Although the fungus chiefly causes the typical vascular disorders of this pathogenic group, there are reports of soyabean pod infection from Japan (19: 453). Infection of cowpea in India has also been described (35: 503). Some isolates from cowpea have proved pathogenic to bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) and it has been suggested that isolates of Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. phaseoli might be virulent towards cowpea (43, 1472). GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: North America (Canada (Ontario) and in U.S.A., on cowpea, general in the southern states; on soyabean it occurs from Florida, La, Texas, Neb. and California); South America (Colombia); Asia (Formosa, India, U.S.S.R.); Australasia (Australia). Reports of its presence in Central Africa require confirmation. TRANSMISSION: Through soil and probably seed (11: 220; 29: 453).

Abstract A description is provided for Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. vasinfectum. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: On Gossypium spp., and species of Cajanus, Coffea, Hevea, Hibiscus, Medicago, Ricinus, Solanum and Vigna. DISEASE: Vascular wilt or Fusariosis of cotton is a disease affecting its host at all stages of its growth. Early symptoms on seedlings consist of vein clearing of the leaves followed by necrosis of the interveinal tissue and death of the leaves. On older plants leaves become chlorotic and the vascular tissues show a brown discolouration. Growth is retarded and the plant eventually wilts. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Africa: Congo, Central African Republic, Egypt, Ethiopia, Madagascar, Senegal, Somalia, Sudan, South Africa, Tanganyika, Uganda; Asia: Burma, China, Formosa, India, Indo-China, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, U.S.S.R. ; Europe: France, Greece, Italy, Romania, Yugoslavia; North America, Mexico, U.S.A. (cotton belt); Central America & West Indies: Guatemala, Nevis, Nicaragua, Puerto Rico, Salvador, St. Vincent; South America: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Venezuela. (C.M.I. Map 362). TRANSMISSION: Soil-borne, but may also be transmitted by water and seed. The pathogen has been recovered from delineated seed obtained from infected cotton plants in the Central African Republic, Congo, Tanganyika and Brazil (32: 186; 33: 143; 40: 754; 41: 389). The percentage infection ranged from 0.2 to 5.0.
