Fusarium species Isolated From Peat Soil of Pondok Tanjung and Sungai Beriah, Perak
Abstract
Isolates of Fusarium from peat soil samples were recovered using three methods namely, soil dilution, direct isolation and debris isolation techniques. Based on identification using morphological characteristics, four species of Fusarium species were identified. The most common species isolated was F. solani (70.4%) followed by F. oxysporum (14.8%), F. semitectum (11.1%) and F. proliferatum (3.7%).
