Pathogen detection and treatment strategies of konjac soft rot
Konjac is an important cash crop in China,known for its ability to synthesize glucomannan in large quantities.Howev-er,konjac soft rot disease is the most severe soil-borne disease affecting konjac production.It causes significant losses in konjac yield and poses a major challenge to the development of China's konjac industry.Thus,the prevention and control of konjac soft rot have become critical tasks for ensuring sustainable konjac production.This paper reviewed the pathogen detection tech-nologies and control strategies for konjac soft rot.In addition to conventional PCR detection technology,the application of nov-el detection technologies in identifying konjac soft rot was discussed.Current strategies for preventing and controlling of konjac soft rot were summarized,including chemical control,biological control,and agricultural practices.These approaches provide valuable insights and guidance for the integrated management of Konjac soft rot.
