Phytophthora Root Rot of Ligularia fishcheri Caused by P. drechsleri
Phytophthora drechsleri에 의한 곰취 역병
Abstract
Cultivation of a native wild vegetable, Ligularia fischeri, is hampered by Phytophthora sp. Infected plants showed wilt and eventual death due to rots on the root and basal portion. Eight isolates collected were all identified as P. drechsleri based on their mycological characteristics. The fungi showed relatively strong pathogenicity to L. Fischeri, mild to Aster scaber and Codonoposis lanceolata, and none to Circium setidens and Pimpinella brachycarpa. This is the first report of Phytophthora root rot on wild vegetables in Korea.
