Abstract | Damasonium minus (starfruit) is one of the most important weeds in Australian rice fields. In the past the control of this weed has been achieved by the use of bensulfuron methyl and resistance to this herbicide has been reported. The endemic fungus R. alismatis causing necrosis and chlorosis on starfruit leaves is being assessed as a mycoherbicide for integrated management of starfruit. The effect of the fungus on different plant ages showed that two weeks after spray application of conidial suspension green leaf area was reduced significantly when applied to starfruit with two or more floating leaves. Significant reduction in green biomass was also observed in plants inoculated with more than four floating leaves. Further research is necessary to increase the fungal virulence and disease development in starfruit. |
