Fungi Damaging Ornamental Plants in Absheron and Their Control
Abstract
Ornamental plants on the Absheron peninsula play an important role in urban planning, ecological balance and aesthetics. However, in recent years, fungal diseases that have spread to these plants have seriously affected their health and appearance. This article examines the distribution, symptoms and control methods of the main phytopathogenic fungi such as Fusarium oxysporum, Rhizoctonia solani, Botrytis cinerea, Alternaria alternata and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. As a result of field observations and laboratory analyses conducted in Baku, Khirdalan, Sumgayit and surrounding settlements in 2024, it was determined that these fungi are closely related to climatic and agrotechnical conditions. Various control strategies were tested and it was determined that the most effective result is achieved with integrated control measures.
