Diseased plants were collected from 24 fields in the northern and central Arava region of southern Israel during the fall seasons of 1994 and 1995. In pathogenicity tests conducted under field conditions, in artificially inoculated microplots, the first wilt symptoms were observed at various stages of fruit maturation. High mortality levels (73 to 97%) were recorded for inoculation combinations in which Monosporascus sp. was involved. Inoculations with the other fungi listed resulted in lower incidences of wilt. The combination of F. solani and P. aphanidermatum resulted in higher mortality than that caused by each pathogen alone. Monosporascus sp. seems to be the primary pathogen, although other fungi could also induce wilt. The dry weight of plants grown in naturally infested soil ceased to accumulate 33 days after transplanting, in contrast to plants grown in methyl bromide-treated soil. At this stage, the first wilt symptoms were observed. Fruit load affected wilt incidence. At the end of the growing season, 98% mortality was recorded for plants having the normal fruit load (2.5 fruits per plant) compared with 75 and 12% for plants that had their fruits thinned to one or zero per plant, respectively. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1094\/pdis.1997.81.11.1264","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,5,11]],"date-time":"2007-05-11T09:46:47Z","timestamp":1178876807000},"page":"1264-1268","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":37,"title":["Sudden Wilt of Melons in Southern Israel: Fungal Agents and Relationship with Plant Development"],"prefix":"10.1094","volume":"81","author":[{"given":"S.","family":"Pivonia","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Arava Research and Development, Sapir Center 86825, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"R.","family":"Cohen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Vegetable Crops, Agricultural Research Organization, Newe Ya'ar Research Center, P.O.
