Diversity of Fusarium species isolated from soil cultivated with cucurbits within East Coast, Peninsular Malaysia

Fungi in the genus Fusarium are well known as soil-borne pathogen with worldwide distribution. Therefore, this study focused on isolation of Fusarium species from soil cultivated with watermelons, muskmelon, pumpkins, and cucumber in the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia by using dilution plate tech...
