Abstract:
The aims of this study was to isolate and identify all micromycetes
genera developed on Libero sugar beet variety during the field trial localized
on south region from Moldavian plain (Ezareni Farm Resort at the
University of Agricultural Sciens and Veterinary Medicine “Ion Ionescu de la
Brad”, Iasi) and, also from five seed varieties of sugar beet (Libero, Merak,
Victor, Barsa, Brasov) during germination using ”Blotter method”.
The“blotter method” is one of the incubation methods where seeds
are incubated usually for 7 days at 22˚C. After incubation, fungi developed
on each seed are examined under different magnification of a
stereomicroscope and identified.
During the laboratory analysis 8 genera of micromycetes (Sclerotinia,
Botrytis, Fusarium, Alternaria, Penicillium, Cladosporium, Volutella,
Trichotecium) were isolated and identified. Volutella sp. and Trichotecium
sp. are reported for the first time on sugar beet in Romania.
