Abstract:The effects of different Fusarium oxysporum strains, which were isolated and purified from alfalfa root rot plants in three different regions of Gansu province, on the growth of alfalfa seedlings were determined. The soil was inoculated with millet-seed inoculum of each isolate before seedlings were transplanted,and then root diseases were scored with root length,shoot height,aboveground biomass and underground biomass being measured after 28 days. Results showed that different strains exhibited significant effect (P<0.05) on root disease severity and growth of alfalfa seedlings,with pathogenicity varying among isolates. After inoculation with different strains,disease index of seedling roots ranged from 46% to 69%;root length and shoot height decreased by 9% to 28% and 20% to 52% respectively;aboveground biomass and underground biomass decreased by 17% to 48% and 15% to 60% respectively. Among these,the strain QY3 had the strongest pathogenicity,followed by QY2,and pathogenicity of the strain LZ3 was the weakest;the strain QY2 resulted in the greatest decrease in root length and aboveground biomass while the strain LT2 decreased greatest in shoot height and underground biomass. This study provides basic theoretical guidance for the control of alfalfa root rot disease.
