Abstract

Results of collecting samples from different regions of Anbar Governorate (Al-Amiriyah, Al-Khalidya, Fallujah, Heet and Ramadi) showed that potato root rot disease is widespread in all regions collected. The results of isolation and phenotypic and molecular diagnosis using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique indicated showed the presence of fungus Rhizoctonia spp., and Fungus Fusarium spp. Accompanying potato root rot disease and the pathogenicity test using radish seeds on water Agar (W.R.) culture media, all tested isolates achieved a significant reduction in radish seed plants compared with control treatment uncontaminated by any of the isolates of fungi, which recorded infection rate 0%. Keywords: Potato Root Rot, Diagnosis, Fungi, Rhizoctonia solani , Fusarium solani.
