a chromista, possible pythium aphanidermatum, was isolated from severely damage seeds and seedlings recently started from jatropha curcas l. non toxic seeds sown in the tropical area of veracruz, mexico. in order to study pathogenic pythium aphanidermatum effects over pre-emergent and post-emergent stages, seeds and young seedlings were inoculated with the isolated pathogen, and the chromista showed possible pathogenic activity against pre-emergency and recently started post-emergency; however, statistically significant damaged was not found in older seedlings.
