Özet

Samples of strawberry transplants were randomly collected from 47 growers in Aydın province of Turkey. A total of 10 Rhizoctonia isolates were identified by morphological characterization, analysis of rDNA-ITS sequences. Pathogenicity tests were carried on strawberry seedlings and detached stolon. Ten pathogenic binucleate Rhizoctonia isolates were defined as AG-A, AG-G and AG-K on the basis of ITS region sequence analysis. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the presence of Rhizoctonia fragariae in strawberry transplants in Turkey.
