Impact of pathogenic fungi and bacteria on fenugreen (Trigonella poenum-graecum L.) plant stand quality under natural condition

An investigation was carried out to assess the effect of fungal and bacterial pathogen levels on Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L) seedlings grown in sand. Both the fungal and bacterial inoculum affected the mortality of crop seedlings. Crop responded significantly to inoculum as decreased num...

Summary:An investigation was carried out to assess the effect of fungal and bacterial pathogen levels on Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L) seedlings grown in sand. Both the fungal and bacterial inoculum affected the mortality of crop seedlings. Crop responded significantly to inoculum as decreased number and size of leaf and also length of seedling but has over growth of root as bunching and elongation of root length by 32-78%. Small water-soaked lesions on leaf margins appeared which eventually turned brown with the increase of day interval. Leaves and petioles showed discoloration. Formation of adventitious root, wilting of leaves and young stems, defoliation, and marginal necrosis of remaining leaves was also observed.
