First report of rhizoctonia solani kuhn. Isolated from parthenium weed (Parthenium hysterophorus L.) in Malaysia

Fungal pathogens are useful in biocontrol of parthenium weed (Parthenium hysterophorus L.) for efficient weed management. Although parthenium is a major problem in Malaysia, no initiative for developing biocontrol method has been taken yet. Therefore, a field study was conducted at Kg. Durian Tungga...
