Abstract
During July to August 2015, diaseased processing tomato broomrapes with spindle-shaped stem lesions were collected from fields of Changji Hui and Korla Bayingolin Mongol Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang. The causal agent was identified as Fusarium acuminatum based on morphological characters, pathogenicity tests and molecular methods. This is the first report of F. acuminatum infects broomrape on processing tomato in China. This study offers a potentially promising strategy for control of broomrape.
