Molecular Prospecting: Advancement in Diagnosis and Control of Rhizoctonia solani Diseases in Plants

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Current Trends in Plant Disease Diagnostics and Management Practices

Part of the book series: Fungal Biology ((FUNGBIO))

Abstract

Phytopathogens are one of the major entities in agro-industry, which reduces plant capacity to produce biomass and yield, resulting poor plant health. Since past few decades of the agricultural practices, various agro-chemicals and biological compositions were employed to restrict the phytopathogens, which on inappropriate application cause environmental pollution. In this context, the rapid and precise in situ detection of phytopathogens may tend specific control of phytopathogens rather the application of pesticides in non-specific manner. This ultimately prevents agroecological loss, environmental degradation and loss of biodiversity by avoiding saturation of excess agrochemicals in the agricultural lands. Among phytopathogens, Rhizoctonia solani holds potent pathogenic attributes and has a wide host range, which solely causes huge agroeconomic loss every year all over the world.
