Cover Story: Basal rot disease affects onion cultivation worldwide. Indeed, field studies on the Fusarium species in northeastern Israel led to the discovery of a new Neocosmospora (previously known as Fusarium solani) species complex, which is widely distributed. This species was less virulent in the seed germination and bulb pathogenicity assays than other species were. While the yellow Orlando cv. in the Hula Valley field (Galilee region) is colonized by Neocosmospora, together with F. oxysporum, f. sp. cepae, and F. acutatum, the Golan Heights field's Fusarium community shows host specificity. These variations in species composition require tailored pest control solutions. View this paper
