with 100% for the control ( Meyer and Hausbeck, 2013 ). Despite the effectiveness of soil-applied fungicides in phytophthora management, the labels of oomycete-specific fungicides may not support this application method ( Bird et al., 2016 ; Sanogo and
Kim, 1995 ; Oelke et al., 2003 ). Phytophthora blight is caused by the oomycete pathogen Phytophthora capsici, which can infect a wide range of vegetable crops ( Crossan et al., 1954 ; Polach and Webster, 1972 ). Management of phytophthora blight
, caused by the oomycete pathogen Phytophthora capsici , is a severe disease affecting squash and pumpkin. Originally described in 1922 after being identified on pepper [ Capsicum annum ( Leonian, 1922 )], it was first reported on cucurbits (Cucurbitaceae
has specificity toward oomycetes ( Lyr, 1995 ; Vuik et al., 1990 ). Etridiazole disrupts the lipid structure of cell membranes ( Radzuhn and Lyr, 1984 ) and inhibits respiration by binding to the mitochondrial membrane between cytochromes b and c
pepper varieties with tolerance to the disease phytophthora blight, whereas it is less common on more susceptible varieties ( Kline et al., 2011 ). Phytophthora blight is a soilborne disease caused by the oomycete Phytophthora capsici ( Leonian, 1922
are considered stress factors affecting the incidence of many crop diseases ( Schoeneweiss, 1975 ). Heavy rainfall and severe weather conditions are known to provide a window of opportunity for diseases caused by oomycetes such as Pythium and
not surprising that taro cultivars of Oceania derive from a common, but narrow, genetic base ( Lebot and Aradhya, 1991 ). Taro leaf blight, caused by the oomycete pathogen Phytophthora colocasiae , is a major disease that threatens the sustainability
cycles. Sporangia are formed during moist conditions, releasing zoospores that swim through water to infect plant roots, stems, and leaves. Phytophthora and other plant pathogenic oomycetes including Phytopythium and Pythium are common contaminants
