Abstract
Wilt in ornemental nurseries. From plant and soil samples collected both in the north and the south of Belgium, a great number of Verticillium dahliae isolates was obtained, 40 of which were characterised according to their compatibility group. All belong to the American classification VCG2 and VCG4. The pathogenic action of 20 Verticillium isolates was tested on sycamore trees. The PCR technique was optimised for pathogen detection in the wood + cambium part of woody tissues. The assessment of the infectious potential of soils was carried out with satisfactory reproducibility using the direct soil sample incubation (wet system) technique. A biological soil disinfestation method perfected in Wageningen in the Netherlands by a team led by A. Termorshuizen was tested in seven Belgian nurseries. The detection of Verticillium dahliae using PCR in the soils is ongoing. Visit also our Fungi collection: http://BETULA.BR.FGOV.BE/cgi-bin/BIODIV/collec.pl?list_col=219
