Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

A total of 434 isolates of Rhizoctonia belonging to 10 anastomosis groups were obtained from the roots and rhizosphere soils of bean and soybean plants grown in Samsun, Turkey. AG-4 was found to be the most common group on bean and soybean plants and AG-5, AG-6, binucleate AG-A, AG-B and R. zeae were other groups isolated from the both plant species. AG-1, AG-7 and AG-K from bean and AG-E from soybean were other groups obtained in the study. The pathogenicity tests on bean and soybean seedlings showed that the highest disease severities were caused by AG-4 isolates, whereas AG-1 and AG-6 isolates were moderately pathogenic. Binucleate Rhizoctonia AG-B isolates were also moderately pathogenic, while other binucleate Rhizoctonia were found to be weakly pathogenic. Rhizoctonia zeae isolates caused moderate disease symptoms on bean, but soybean plants were slightly affected by this group of isolates. This is the first reported observation of R. solani AG-6 and AG-7 and binucleate Rhizoctonia AG-B on bean, and R. solani AG-5 and AG-6 and binucleate Rhizoctonia AG-A, AG-B and AG-E on soybean, in Turkey.
