CABILES, HONEY S., April 1998. "Identification of Fusarium species Associated with High Value Fruits, Vegetables and Miscellaneous Crops". An undergraduate thesis, Bachelor of Science in Biology (major in General Biology), in coordination with the Department of Biological Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. Adviser: Dr. Adelaida E. Sangalang.
Diseased samples of high value fruits, vegetables, and miscellaneous crops
generally, with yellows, wilt, blight and rot were collected and plated on PDA. CLA isolates were used to identify the recovered Fusarium species. The most prevalent Fusarium species isolated was F. semitectum which accounted for 48.04 percent of the total Fusarium species recovered. Other species isolated were F. oxysporum (15.69%),
F. subglulinans (9.80%), F. monillforme (9.80%), F. solani (9.80%), F. equiseti (4.90%) and F. proliferalum ( I -96%).
All Fusarium species isolated have been implicated in various diseases of plants. The most important of which is F. moniliforme since it has been involved in toxin.
production which could endangered the health of consumers.
Out of the seven isolated Fusarium species, five have been previously reported in the Philippines, while the two species, F. subglutinans and F. proliferatum are hereby.
reported as new record.
No new species was recovered.
