Abstract

This study presents scientific research on Fusarium redolens (Wollenweber). A systematic search of the Scopus database from 1956 to 2023 yielded 201 indexed documents.  F. redolens is an emerging pathogen with a significant impact on pulse crops. Population growth, especially in developing countries, creates a primary problem: food availability, especially protein sources. Chickpeas are an important crop in western Iran, especially in Kermanshah province. Until 2019, most studies attributed chickpea yellowing and root rot to Fusarium oxysporum and Fusarium solani, respectively. To manage this crop, previous recommendations included planting cereals such as barley and wheat due to the presence of F. oxysporum formae speciales in the soil. However, F. redolens has now been identified as the major cause of chickpea yellowing and root rot, especially in the western provinces. This Fusarium species has been isolated from 54 species of 50 genera and 29 plant families, with the highest frequency observed in Fabaceae, Poaceae and Asteraceae hosts. Given its pathogenicity to wheat and barley and the unknown presence of formae speciales, rotation with these cereals is no longer considered an appropriate management solution.  Further research is needed to develop effective management strategies for the future.
