    Question

    The mycoherbicide De-vine contains fungal spores of:

    A.

    Colletotrichum gloeosporioides

    B.

    Phytophthora palmivora

    C.

    Streptomyces hygroscopicus

    D.

    Bipolaris sorghicola

    Correct option is B


    De-Vine is a commercial mycoherbicide developed for the biological control of strangler vine (Morrenia odorata), primarily in citrus orchards.
    It contains spores of the fungus Phytophthora palmivora , which causes disease in the target weed, leading to its suppression and eventual death without harming the main crop.
    Explanation:
    (a) Colletotrichum gloeosporioides – Used in other bioherbicides like Collego, which targets northern jointvetch, not used in De-Vine.
    (b) Phytophthora palmivora Correct. This fungus is the active component in De-Vine, used specifically for controlling Morrenia odorata.
    (c) Streptomyces hygroscopicus – A bacterium, not a fungus; used to produce the herbicide Bialaphos, not a component of De-Vine.
    (d) Bipolaris sorghicola – Known for affecting sorghum, not used in De-Vine or targeting the specific vine.
