Management of Fungal Plant Pathogens

Oldest life forms have been reported from the North Pole Dome area of Western Australia, which dates back 3556 million years. Non-septate mycelium remains of Eomycetopsis robustawere recovered from late Precambrian chert of Australia. Having appeared first on planet Earth, microbes have immens...
