The Fusarium solani species complex infecting cannabis (Cannabis sativa L., marijuana) plants and a first report of Fusarium (Cylindrocarpon) lichenicola causing root and crown rot

TLDR
This study demonstrates the first occurrence worldwide of F. lichenicola on cannabis plants, on which it is considered a weak introduced tropical pathogen, likely to have originated from coco coir imported into Canada.
Abstract
Greenhouse-grown cannabis (Cannabis sativa L., marijuana) plants with yellowing, crown rot and root-browning symptoms were sampled from six production facilities during 2019–2020. Among 34 fungal i...

Diseases of Cannabis sativa Caused by Diverse Fusarium Species

TL;DR: The robust strategies for disease management are in development for this new crop and have primarily relied on management systems for other crops, but knowledge for control of these important fungal diseases to provide safe products for human consumption is required.

Effect of temperature on Fusarium solani and F. tricinctum growth and disease development in soybean

TL;DR: Temperature had a significant effect on disease development in cotyledons and roots after 1-week incubation in rolled germination paper and the thermal specific characteristics of these pathogens implied disease development by F. solani is favoured by warmer temperatures, while in F. tricinctum it is favourites by cooler temperatures.
