IDENTIFICATION AND BIOLOGICAL CONTROL OF BASAL STEM AND ROOT ROT DISEASE OF SNAPDRAGON

For the first time wilt symptoms have been detected on the Snapdragon (<em>Antirrhinum majus </em>L) plants cultivated in the parks of Mosul University. The isolation of fungi from wilted plants on PDA medium revealed the presence of seven genera including; <em>Alternaria,</em&g...
