Identification of Fusarium species in vegetable greenhouses in Kumluca district, Antalya

Abstract

Kumluca is an important district where many kinds of vegetables are produced and exported to other countries in Turkey. The main purpose of the current investigation was to diagnose the Fusarium species in different crop plants including tomato, pepper, eggplant, cucumber and melon in Kumluca district, Antalya. A total of 272 samples were gathered from diseased plants in greenhouses. In this work, eight Fusarium species were diagnosed according to morphological characteristics. Considering the pathogenicity test under climate chamber conditions, the disease severity of these species ranged from 48 to 92%. Among these species, Fusarium verticillioides (92%) was the most virulent species in pepper plants.

Kumluca İlçesi Sebze Seralarındaki Fusarium Türlerinin Tanımlanması

Abstract

Kumluca, Türkiye'de birçok sebze türünün üretildiği ve diğer ülkelere ihraç edildiği önemli bir ilçedir. Bu araştırmanın temel amacı, Antalya'nın Kumluca ilçesinde domates, biber, patlıcan, salatalık ve kavun gibi farklı kültür bitkilerinde Fusarium türlerini teşhis etmektir. Seralardaki hastalıklı bitkilerden toplam 272 örnek toplanmıştır. Morfolojik özelliklere dayanarak sekiz Fusarium türü tanımlanmıştır. İklim odası koşullarında yapılan patojenite testine göre, bu türlerin hastalık şiddeti %48 ile %92 arasında değişmiştir. Bu türler arasında F. verticillioides (%92) biber bitkilerinde en virülent tür olmuştur.
