title: [Mixed infection caused by meloidogyne and pathogenic fungi on Siraitia grosvenorii].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the mixed infection caused by meloidogyne and pathogenic fungi on Siraitia grosvenorii,the result can provide basis for controltion.
  
  
  METHODS
  The correlation of fungi, nematode with the disease was studied base on tissue-isolation, back-inoculation and morphological characters.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The species of root-knot nematode was identified as Meloidogyne incognita. The main pathogens were Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium solani, and Verticillium alboatrum. The three fungis and their mixture can infect the tubers of Siraitia. grosvenorii, and the disease incidence was 57.14%, 38.10%, 47.62% and 71.43% respectively. Inoculation tests showed that the three pathogens and the root-knot nematode could cause mixed infection,
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Meloidogyne and pathogenic fungi can infect Siraitia. grosvenorii together. The three pathogens and nematode should be controlled all together at the same time.
