The oomycete Phytophthora capsici Leonian causes root and fruit rot, stem blight, and foliar blight in pepper ( Capsicum annuum L.) ( Leonian, 1922 ) causing global yield losses ( Babadoost, 2004 ). Currently the disease is managed through the
populations of fungi, oomycetes and nematodes, and the diseases they cause ( Mazzola and Strauss, 2013 ; Ochiai et al., 2007 ; Snapp et al., 2007 ; Zasada and Ferris, 2004 ). For example, Rhizoctonia populations in apple orchard soils and root rot of
landscape industries is primarily due to its wide range of flower colors, long flowering season, and excellent shade tolerance ( Morgan, 2007 ). Impatiens downy mildew, incited by the oomycete P. obducens , is a devastating disease of impatiens. Outbreak of

oomycete pathogen Phytophthora capsici ( Leonian, 1922 ), is a serious threat to production of peppers worldwide ( Babadoost, 2004 ). This disease has become a major disease constraint to bell pepper production, affecting the plants at all growth stages
Cucumber ( Cucumis sativus ) production in the eastern and midwestern United States is subject to severe losses resulting from fruit rot caused by the soilborne oomycete pathogen, Phytophthora capsici ( Granke et al., 2012 ; Sonogo and Ji, 2012
