Seed and seedling diseases are caused primarily by Pythium and Rhizoctonia spp. The most important fungi causing root rots include Aphanomyces euteiches, Fusarium solani, Pythium spp., Sclerotium rolfsii, and Macrophomina phaseolina. Wilt is caused primarily by various host-specific forms of Fusarium oxysporum. This paper discusses these diseases and screening procedures that emphasize standardization of inoculum levels, maintenance of virulent pathogen cultures, inoculum growth media, environmental conditions, and host plant age. Sources of resistance to these diseases are discussed date: 1994 date_type: published publication: Euphytica volume: 73 number: 1-2 publisher: Kluwer Academic pagerange: 27-39 refereed: TRUE issn: 0014-2336 official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/BF00027179 related_url_url: http://scholar.google.co.in/scholar?as_q=Screening+techniques+and+sources+of+resistance+to+root+rots+and+wilts+in+cool+season+food+legumes&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_occt=title&as_sauthors=&as_publication=&as_ylo=&as_yhi=&btnG=&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5 related_url_type: pub citation: Kraft, J M and Haware, M P and Jiménez-Díaz, R M and Bayaa, B and Harr, M (1994) Screening techniques and sources of resistance to root rots and wilts in cool season food legumes.
