Fusarium Wilt

[@Ixquick979]

Is treating soil and seed with Trichoderma viride fungus effective against Fusarium?

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

It can suppress it but not stop it completely if the inoculum is high enough.

[@ahmedmamdouh3579]

Can we use fusarium wilt as a treatment for unwanted grass and parasites in the soil? like: orobanche crenata forsk? Sorry for bad english

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

Using Fusarium to control a targets species would be a challenge as it typically does not have a high enough degree of specificity to make what you have suggested effective.

[@ahmedmamdouh3579]

@@DeBaccoUniversity Thank you for reply, sir! I really appreciate your notes. If it is so challenging, can you name any fungus or any thing instead to fix the problem of orobanche crenata? Orobanche crenata has really demolished our production of faba beans in Egypt and I'm working with other university colleagues on a project to fix this big problem.

Does humic acid can help prevent fusarium wilt

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

Wish it was that easy, but sadly this is not help.

[@josephoduor6211]

can i use systemic fungicide for prevention and treatment?

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

Soil applied fungicides can have some (but not great) suppressive) properties. The exact products that can be used are depended on the law of the label.

Dors humic acid can help prebent fusarium wily

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

No.

Will planting legumes increase fusarium population in the soil?

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

Monocroping with high nitrogen fertilizers and excessive water are typical conditions that favor Fusarium. However, there are ~12,000 different species of Fusarium, some are even beneficial. Planting a cover crop of Hairy Vetch has shown (in watermelon trials) to reduce pathogenic Fusarium in soil.

which crop rotation is should we follow

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

Typically monocots (grass species) are recommended.

Fusarium occurs naturally in the soil.

Fusarium produces mycotoxins and is incurable

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

It is possible to suppress Fusarium and while prevention is the best method there is supporting research to help growers reduce its occurrence in soil. Plant species rotations are advised and planting an effective cover crop (such as Hairy Vetch) or simply encouraging Earthworms have both proven to be effective. See the attached article links...

DeBacco University yes, it improves the soil and helps balance the biome. We can add bacillus species and innoculllate soil and use biochar.....but it is still there

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

@@AnneGoggansQHHT Also, keep in-mind that all species of fusarium are pathogenic. So, non-pathogenic strains of fusarium can be used to limit the colonization of pathogenic strains of fusarium by essentially taking up the binding sites on the roots. So, just because a fungus is present does not always translate into a disease or issue. nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1046/j.1469-8137.1997.00855.x Also the genus Fusarium comprises at least 300 phylogenetically distinct species, 20 species complexes and nine monotypic lineages (Balajee et al. 2009, O’Donnell et al. 2015). mycology.adelaide.edu.au/descriptions/hyphomycetes/fusarium/ So it is much more diverse than many realize.
