First report of Fusarium proliferatum causing rot in Garlic (Allium sativum) in Australia
摘要
Garlic bulbs (cv. Glenlarge) that were grown in Gatton, Queensland, Australia were identified as having dry rot symptoms during storage in February 2023. The pathogen was identified as Fusarium proliferatum by sequencing of the TEF1 gene region. Pathogenicity was confirmed by Koch’s postulates. This is the first report, to the author’s knowledge, of F. proliferatum causing disease in Allium sativum in Australia.
