Abstract A description is provided for Diplocarpon earliana. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOST: Fragaria. DISEASE: Strawberry leaf scorch. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Throughout temperate zones and extending into the tropics in Malaysia, Taiwan, Australia and New Guinea; Africa (Rhodesia, Zambia, South Africa, Canary Islands); Europe (except Ireland, Spain, Sweden, Russia); North America (Canada, USA, Jamaica); South America (Brazil, Uruguay); Asia (Armenia, Cambodia, Hong Kong, India, Israel, Japan, W. Malaysia). Appears to be most important in USA and eastern Europe (CMI Map 452, ed. 1, 1969). TRANSMISSION: Mainly by splash dispersal of conidia from infected leaves. Ascospores appear to be unimportant and in some regions (Poland; 46, 2074) where the perfect state has not been found.

Othonna L. (Asteraceae: Senecioneae: Othonninae) is a genus of some 120 species concentrated in the Greater Cape Floristic Region (GCFR) of South Africa, with a few species extending into southern Namibia, Angola, and Zimbabwe. The South African species of Othonna were last revised more than a century ago, and many species, particularly from the southern African winter rainfall region, remain poorly understood. This study focused on the geophytic species comprising the O. bulbosa group, distinguished by their tuberous rootstock and annual, leafy, aerial stems. A comprehensive taxonomic treatment is presented, including descriptions, complete nomenclature and typification, illustrations, and geographical distribution. Twenty-five species are recognized, of which four are newly described (O. lilacina Magoswana & J. C. Manning, O. nigromontana Magoswana & J. C. Manning, O. revoluta Magoswana & J. C. Manning, and O. sinuata Magoswana & J. C. Manning), and 18 names are reduced to synonymy. The species differ in habit, shape and incision of foliage, capitulum type (radiate vs. disciform), number of involucral bracts, pappus length, and cypselae (myxogenic vs. nonmyxogenic). We place the species into four morphologically diagnosable series (series Heterophyllae Magoswana & J. C. Manning, series Disciformes Magoswana & J. C. Manning, series Perfoliatae Magoswana & J. C. Manning, and series Undulosae Magoswana & J. C. Manning) based on habit and capitulum type.

The geographical distribution of 14 of the Rubus species in South Africa is presented. Chromosome numbers of nine of the species were determined: six for the first time, one is confirmed and additional polyploid levels are described for the other two species. It is demonstrated that the South African species of the subgenus Idaeobatus contain less diploid specimens and more polyploid specimens than their extra-African counterparts. This phenomenon could be attributed to hybridization between the subgenera Eubatus and  Idaeobatus.

Abstract A description is provided for Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Cotton (Gossipium spp., including G. hirsutum, G. barbadense, G. arboreum, G. herbaceum), Chinese lantern (Physalis alkekengi), lucerne (alfalfa) (Medicago sativa), lupin (Lupinus luteus), okra (Abelmoschus esculentus), soyabean (Glycine max), tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum). A wide range of other plants may also be infected without external symptoms (51, 2512). DISEASE: Vascular wilt. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Widespread (IMI map 362). Africa: Central African Republic, Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia, Israel, Madagascar, Republic of South Africa, Senegal, Somalia, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, Zimbabwe. America: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Guatemala, Mexico, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Peru, Puerto Rico, Salvador, St. Kitts-Nevis, St. Vincent, USA (south eastern states), Venezuela. Asia: Burma, China, India, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Taiwan, USSR. Europe: France, Greece, Italy, Romania, Yugoslavia. TRANSMISSION: The fungus is soil borne and may be transmitted by seed (11, 713; 32, 186) and in irrigation water (62, 4911).

Abstract A description is provided for Ramularia onobrychidis. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. DISEASE: Leaf spot of sainfoin. HOSTS: Arachis hypogaea, Onobrychis altissima, O. arenaria, O. hajastana, O. hohenhackeriana, O. miniata, O. oxyodonta, O. pulchella, O. sintenisii, O. transcaucasica, O. vaginalis, O. viciifolia (BRAUN, 1998) (Fabaceae). GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: ASIA: Armenia, Azerbaijan (EIBATOVA, 1958), Republic of Georgia, Kabardino-Balkariya, Kazakhstan, Kirgistan, Tadzhikistan (OSIPYAN, 1975), Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan. EUROPE: Austria, Belarus (OSIPYAN, 1975), Bulgaria, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova (OSIPYAN, 1975), Romania (BONTEA, 1985), Russia, Sweden, Turkey, Ukraine, Serbia. TRANSMISSION: By wind and rain-splash dispersal of conidia. HUGHES (1949) stated that sclerotia are formed in the lesions: the leaflets are readily detached and in moist conditions the sclerotia can develop after leaf fall, they can also be blown around aiding dispersal of the fungus.

The influence of soil-applied phosphorus on the phytotoxicity of soil-applied 3-amino-s-triazole (amitrole) and 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea (diuron) for corn(Zea maysL.), ryegrass(Lolium multiflorumL.), rye(Secale cerealeL.), snapbeans(Phaseolus vulgarisL.), soybeans(Glycine max(L.) Mers.), sorghum(Sorghum vulgarePers.), wheat(Triticum aestivumL.), cotton(Gossypium hirsutumL.), peanuts(Arachis hypogaeaL.), and peas(Pisum sativumL.) was studied under greenhouse conditions. All species except cotton and peanuts indicated an amitrole-phosphorus interaction. Greater phytotoxicity was found for a given rate of amitrole as the soil phosphorus level was increased. A diuron-phosphorus interaction was observed for cotton and soybeans only.
