Fusarium wilt of basil in Greece: Foliar infection and cultivar evaluation for resistance

Fusarium wilt of basil (Ocimum basilicum), caused byFusarium oxysporum f.sp.basilici, is reported for the first time in Greece. Foliage inoculation of young plants resulted in a downward movement of the pathogen to the crown and roots and 20–30% plant mortality. Of 14 commercial basil cultivars eval...

Zusammenfassung:Fusarium wilt of basil (Ocimum basilicum), caused byFusarium oxysporum f.sp.basilici, is reported for the first time in Greece. Foliage inoculation of young plants resulted in a downward movement of the pathogen to the crown and roots and 20–30% plant mortality. Of 14 commercial basil cultivars evaluated for possible disease resistance using young plants, six out of eight large-leaved cultivars were found resistant, while all six small-leaved ones were susceptible.
