WHO CAUSES IT?
Rhizoctonia sp. and Fusarium sp. They are pathogenic fungi that cause serious diseases in various plants. Rhizoctonia sp. It is characterized by the formation of brown mycelium and sclerotia, resistance structures that allow the fungus to survive in the soil and remains of infected plants during unfavorable periods. The fungus is activated when environmental conditions are suitable, invading the roots and stems of plants through wounds or directly by penetration. Fusarium sp., on the other hand, is known for its asexual spores called conidia, which are dispersed primarily through water and soil. This fungus can also produce chlamydospores, which are resistance structures that allow it to persist in the soil for long periods. Both fungi can infect plants at any stage of development, causing root and stem rot, leading to a significant decrease in plant health and productivity.
