Zusammenfassung: | A dry rot disease of Echinocactus grusonii was encountered in Sussex nurseries. The disease is characterised by pale brown, buff or sometimes yellow-orange sunken lesions at the base of the plants. Microscopical examination of diseased tissue revealed abundant fungal mycelium. This fungus was isolated, cultured, proved pathogenic, re-isolated and identified as Fusarium oxysporum Schlect. A review of published literature concerning Fusarium diseases of cacti is also presented. |
