Remote sensing for site-specific management of biotic and abiotic stress in cottonFalkenberg, Nyland Ray 30 September 2004 (has links)
This study evaluated the applicability of remote sensing instrumentation for site- specific management of abiotic and biotic stress on cotton grown under a center pivot. Three different irrigation regimes (100%, 75%, and 50% ETc) were imposed on a cotton field to 1) monitor canopy temperatures of cotton with infrared thermometers (IRTs) in order to pinpoint areas of biotic and abiotic stress, 2) compare aerial infrared photography to IRTs mounted on center pivots to correlate areas of biotic and abiotic stress, and 3) relate yield to canopy temperatures. Pivot-mounted IRTs and IR camera were able to differentiate water stress between the irrigation regimes, however, only the IR camera was effectively able to distinguish between biotic (cotton root rot) and abiotic (drought) stress with the assistance of groundtruthing. The 50% ETc regime had significantly higher canopy temperatures, which were reflected in significantly lower lint yields when compared to the 75% and 100% ETc regimes. Deficit irrigation up to 75% ETc had no impact on yield, indicating that water savings were possible without yield depletion.

High temperature predisposition of sweet pepper to Pythium root rot and its remediation by Pseudomonas chlororaphisSopher, Coralie 09 May 2012 (has links)
Pythium root rot caused by Pythium aphanidermatum, a destructive disease of sweet pepper and other hydroponic crops, is characterized by root browning (necrosis) and reduces growth of roots and shoots. Serious losses in crop productivity are common, in part for lack of adequate control measures. Severe root rot has been previously associated with episodes of high temperature, but whether this is due to high temperature effects on the host, the pathogen, or their interaction remains unclear. To clarify these relationships, and to provide a basis for predicting rapid increases in root rot, quantitative experiments were conducted to determine how episodes of high root-zone temperature are associated with root browning. Pepper plants were grown separately in hydroponic units containing aerated nutrient solution positioned in temperature-controlled water baths. The root zone temperature was 23°C except during high temperature treatments. Browning developed progressively earlier in roots that were maintained at 33°C for 9 to 144 h immediately before they were inoculated with zoospores of P. aphanidermatum, and in all instances earlier than
in control plants maintained continuously at 23°C. The data demonstrated unequivocally that high root-zone temperature can predispose pepper plants to Pythium root rot. Browning also developed earlier when root inoculation with P. aphanidermatum was delayed as long as 216 h following exposure at 33°C for 72 h, indicating that predisposition of the host by high temperature episodes can persist for at least 9 days. The ability of Pseudomonas chlororaphis strain 63-28 to suppress Pythium root rot and promote plant growth was investigated in pepper plants grown in the hydroponic units and predisposed to the disease, i.e. plants were predisposed to high temperature (33°C for 72 h ending at 3 days before inoculation) or not predisposed (constant 23°C). When P. chlororaphis was applied in the nutrient solution at a final density of 107 CFU mL-1 7 days before the high temperature episode, the agent delayed root browning, re-mediated predisposition to root rot, and increased growth of plants that were and were not inoculated with P. aphanidermatum. It is concluded that high temperature predisposed pepper seedlings to root rot and that strain 63-28 has substantial potential for managing root rot regardless of predisposition by high temperature.

Diversité et combinaison des modes d'actions des QTL de résistance à Aphanomyces euteiches chez le pois / Diversity and combination of effects and action modes of Aphanomyces root rot resistance QTLl in peaLavaud, Clément 29 October 2015 (has links)
La connaissance des effets et modes d’action des QTL (Quantitative Trait Loci) de résistance des plantes aux maladies est un enjeu majeur pour l’exploitation durable des résistances génétiques en agriculture. Dans le pathosystème pois/Aphanomyces euteiches, présentant une importance économique majeure, l’objectif de la thèse a consisté à valider les effets de QTL de résistance, seuls ou en combinaison, et à connaitre leurs modes d’action sur les étapes du cycle de l’agent pathogène. Un total de 157 NILs (Near Isogenic Lines) de pois issues d’un programme de Back-cross Assisté par Marqueurs, porteuses d’aucun, un, deux ou trois des sept principaux QTL de résistance préalablement identifiés, a été génotypé à l’aide d’une puce 15K SNPs et évalué pour la résistance. Les NILs porteuses de QTL à effets majeurs, seuls ou en combinaison avec des QTL à effets mineurs,ont présenté des niveaux accrus de résistance partielle en conditions contrôlées et au champ par rapport aux NILs dépourvues de QTL, dans différents fonds génétiques. Certaines NILs comportant des QTL individuels ou combinés à effets mineurs ont également montré un niveau réduit de sévérité de la maladie dans l’une ou les deux conditions de test. La plupart des QTL a présenté des effets significatifs sur le ralentissement de l’infection et/ou de la quantité d’ADN pathogène ayant colonisé la racine pendant sept jours après inoculation. Cette thèse fournit des outils et éléments de choix de QTL à combiner en sélection pour augmenter l’efficacité de la résistance partielle à A. euteiches dans les futures variétés de pois / Knowledge of the effects and action modes of resistance QTL to plant diseases is a major challenge for the durable use of genetic resistances in agriculture. In the pea/Aphanomyces euteiches pathosystem, which has a major economic importance, the aim of this study was to validate the single or combined effects of main resistance QTL, and study their action modes on steps of the pathogen life cycle. A total of 157 pea NILs (Near Isogenic Lines) created by Marker-Assisted Back-crossing and carrying no, one, two or three of the seven main resistance QTL previously identified, was genotyped using a 15K SNPs array and evaluated for resistance. The NILs carrying major-effect QTL, individually or in combination with minor-effect QTL, had increased levels of partial resistance in controlledconditions and in the field compared to NILs without QTL, in different genetic backgrounds. Several NILs carrying single or multiple minor-effect QTL also showed reduced levels of disease severity in one or the two test conditions. Most of the QTL had significant effects on slowing down infection and/or pathogen DNA quantity which had colonized the root for seven days after inoculation. This study gives tools and information for the choice of resistance QTL to use in pyramiding breeding strategies for increasing partial levels of resistance to A. euteiches in future pea varieties.

Efficacy of water soluble silicon for control of phytophthora cinnamomi root rot of avocadoBekker, Theo Frederik 17 September 2007 (has links)
In the current study potassium silicate (20.7% SiO2) induced a 100% inhibition of P. cinnamomi mycelial growth at all concentrations tested. Total inhibition for all fungi tested (Alternaria solani, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, Curvularia lunata, Drechslera sp., Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium solani, Glomerella cingulata, Lasiodiplodia theobromae, Mucor pusillus, Natrassia sp., Pestalotiopsis maculans, Phomopsis perniciosa, Phytophthora capsicii, Phytophthora cinnamomi, Pythium F-group, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Sclerotium rolfsii, Stemphylium herbarum and Verticillium tricorpus) was attained at a concentration of 40ml.l-1 and higher. Although the high pH of potassium silicate solutions does contribute to the inhibition of fungal growth, the inhibitory effect of potassium silicate on fungal growth in vitro is mostly fungicidal rather than attributed to a pH effect. Phytophthora root rot of avocado nursery trees can be inhibited successfully by potassium silicate application. The effectiveness of potassium silicate application depends however on the repetition of applications. These findings are of paramount importance as this implies that potassium silicate may be a alternative control measure to inhibit the effects of P. cinnamomi on avocado nursery trees. Silicon either stimulates plant growth or imparts some form of protection to avocado roots if applied prior to P. cinnamomi inoculation. Potassium silicate applied as a soil drench resulted in higher root densities compared to that of potassium phosphonate (Avoguard®) injections and untreated control trees. Reapplication again resulted in the best disease suppression and stimulation of new root growth. These results correlated well with tree canopy ratings, as trees that received silicon frequently, showed better canopy conditions compared to the untreated control treatments. Potassium silicate application leads to effective inhibition of Phytophthora cinnamomi infection in avocado orchards. Potassium silicate application resulted in an increase of crude phenols and phenolic polymers in avocado roots cells to similar levels to that obtained in roots from potassium phosphonate (Avoguard®) treated trees. Potassium silicate application leads to lower cell wall bound phenolics. The results of the current study support the hypothesis that silicon application, through an elevation of the total phenolic levels, causes an increase of resistance against P. cinnamomi root rot in avocados. AFRIKAANS : Kaliumsilikaat (20.7% SiO2) induseer ‘n 100% inhibisie van P. cinnamomi groei by alle getoetste konsentrasies. Totale inhibisie van alle swamme getoets (Alternaria solani, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, Curvularia lunata, Drechslera sp., Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium solani, Glomerella cingulata, Lasiodiplodia theobromae, Mucor pusillus, Natrassia sp., Pestalotiopsis maculans, Phomopsis perniciosa, Phytophthora capsicii, Phytophthora cinnamomi, Pythium F-groep, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Sclerotium rolfsii, Stemphylium herbarum en Verticillium tricorpus) was verkry by ‘n konsentrasie van 40ml.l-1 en hoër. Alhoewel die hoë pH van kaliumsilikaat wel ‘n inhiberende uitwerking het op swamgroei, is die suksesvolle inhibisie van swamgroei grootliks toe te skryf aan die swamwerende effek van kaliumsilikaat op swamgroei in vitro eerder as ‘n pH effek. Phytophthora wortelvrot van avokado kwekelinge kan suksesvol onderdruk word met kaliumsilikaat toediening. Die effektiwiteit van die toediening hang wel af van die hertoediening daarvan. Hierdie bevindinge is van kardinale belang aangesien dit impliseer dat kalium silikaat ‘n alternatiewe beheer middel is om Phytophthora wortelvrot te inhibeer in avokado kwekelinge. Of silikon stimuleer plant groei, of dit induseer ‘n vorm van beskerming in avokado wortels voor infeksie plaasvind. Kaliumsilikaat toediening as ‘n grond-benatter lei tot hoër worteldigthede in vergelyking met kaliumfosfaat (Avoguard®) staminspuitings en onbehandelde kontrole bome. Hertoediening lewer die beste resultate, maar drie toedienings per seisoen is voldoende. Worteldigdheid verhoging na silikaat toedienings korreleer goed met blaredak gesondheid, aangesien bome wat gereeld behandel is met silikon beter blaredekking getoon het in vergelyking met die kontrole bome. Kaliumsilikaat toediening lei to effektiewe inhibisie van Phytophthora cinnamomi infeksie in avokado boorde. Kaliumsilikaat toediening lei tot ‘n toename in totale fenole en fenoliese polimere in avokado wortel selle tot soortgelyke vlakke soos gevind in avokado weefsel vanaf kaliumfosfaat behandelde bome. terselfdertyd lei silikaat toediening tot laer selwand gebinde fenole. Hierdie resultate ondersteun die hipotese dat kaliumsilikaat toediening, deur die verhoging van oplosbare fenole in avokado wortelselle, die plant se weerstand verhoog, en die effek wat Phytophthora wortelvrot het op avokado plante inhibeer.

Soilborne Pathogens Of Strawberry In The Central Coast Region Of California: Survey And Cover Cropping With Wheat For Management Of Macrophomina PhaseolinaSteele, Mary 01 June 2023 (has links) (PDF)
Surveys of the four major soilborne pathogens of strawberry (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. fragariae, Macrophomina phaseolina, Phytophthora spp., and Verticillium dahliae) to determine their relative prevalence were conducted in Watsonville-Salinas, CA in 2021 and in Santa Maria, CA in 2022. All four major pathogens were detected at relatively similar prevalence in Watsonville-Salinas, between 22% and 31% of sampled fields. In Santa Maria, M. phaseolina was far more prevalent at 52% of sampled fields, the other three falling between 14% and 17%. Additionally replicated greenhouse and field trials were conducted to evaluate the effects of wheat as a single season cover crop on Macrophomina root rot of strawberry and the soil microbiome. Greenhouse trials and the first year of the field trial are described here and demonstrate a lack of substantial disease mitigation or pathogen reduction in the soil following wheat growth compared to no-treatment control. Significant changes were seen in the soil microbiome following wheat growth, including the significant amplification of several bacterial species known to be antagonistic to plant-pathogenic fungi.

Manejo da vegetação intercalar para obtenção de cobertura morta na cultura do abacateiro visando minimizar os danos causados por Phytophthora cinnamomi / Inter-row vegetation management for mulching avocados to minimize negative effects of Phytophthora cinnamomiSantos, Nardélio Teixeira dos 18 February 2014 (has links)
Apesar das excelentes condições edafoclimáticas para a produção de abacates no Brasil, a cultura encontra limitações relacionadas à baixa produtividade e suscetibilidade à podridão da raiz causada por Phytophthora cinnamomi, a principal doença da cultura nas distintas regiões produtoras. A aplicação de coberturas naturais ao solo é uma das estratégias que visa o controle desta doença, e entre seus benefícios estão a maior disponibilidade de água e nutrientes, menor competição das plantas daninhas, melhoria da estrutura, porosidade e fertilidade do solo e melhor aspecto sanitário das plantas, por favorecer a formação de um ambiente supressivo ao desenvolvimento do patógeno, pelo aumento do sistema radicular e da população de microorganismos antagônicos. Todos estes benefícios das coberturas naturais, junto ao aporte de nutrientes após sua incorporação, favorecem indiretamente a produção e o crescimento dos frutos. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar distintos manejos da vegetação intercalar em abacateiros \'Hass\' visando à obtenção de coberturas naturais que, aplicadas ao solo, permitam minimizar a incidência da podridão radicular, promovendo melhorias no estado sanitário das plantas e na produção. Entre 2011 e 2013 foram avaliados cinco tratamentos: T1: ausência de vegetação intercalar, sem aplicação de cobertura morta sob a copa das plantas; T2: ausência de vegetação intercalar e duas aplicações externas de cobertura morta sob a copa; T3: duas deposições de cobertura morta sob a copa, obtida pelo corte da vegetação intercalar com roçadeira enleiradora lateral (REL); T4: três deposições de cobertura morta sob a copa, obtida pelo corte da vegetação intercalar com REL, e T5: manutenção da vegetação intercalar com três cortes anuais utilizando roçadeira convencional, sem deposição de cobertura morta sob a copa. O delineamento estatístico foi em blocos aleatorizados, com 6 repetições e 3 plantas úteis por parcela, nas quais foram avaliados: os teores de macronutrientes e micronutrientes em folhas e no solo; desenvolvimento vegetativo e radicular, produção de frutos, aspecto visual das plantas, massa seca da vegetação intercalar, espessura da cobertura morta e características químicas e microbiológicas do solo. A aplicação de coberturas vegetais resultou em um maior crescimento das plantas e maior tamanho dos frutos, sem efeito significativo sobre a produção. A deposição de cobertura morta obtida com REL favoreceu o desenvolvimento das raízes na camada superficial do solo. No entanto, os tratamentos não influenciaram significativamente o aspecto visual sanitário das plantas, nem os teores de macronutrientes e micronutrientes nas folhas e no solo. O manejo da vegetação intercalar com roçadeira convencional resultou em maior volume de massa seca, já o manejo desta com dois ou três cortes anuais utilizando REL depositou uma quantidade similar de cobertura morta sob a copa, que foi inferior à depositada pela aplicação externa de cobertura (T2). Todos os tratamentos com deposição de cobertura vegetal suprimiram o desenvolvimento de plantas daninhas sob a copa. No tratamento sem aplicação de cobertura morta e sem vegetação intercalar, houve aumento na população de P. cinnamomi no solo. Comparativamente, no período de dois anos, não foram observadas diferenças na população de actinomicetos no solo dos distintos tratamentos. / Despite the excellent soil and climatic conditions for avocado production in Brazil, the culture has limitations related to low productivity and susceptibility to avocado root rot caused by Phytophthora cinnamomi, the main crop disease in all producing areas. Mulching is one of the strategies utilized for controlling this disease, with several benefits such as an improved soil water and nutrients availability for roots, reduced weed competition, improved soil structure, porosity and fertility and enhanced plant health condition, due to the creation of a suppressive environment for the development of the pathogen, by increasing root density and the population of antagonistic microorganisms. All these benefits of natural mulches, together with the supply of nutrients and assimilates after their incorporation to the soil, indirectly enhance fruit yield and size. The aim of this work was to evaluate different managements of inter-row vegetation in an adult \'Hass\' avocado orchard in order to obtain mulches which, after being applied to the soil, will allow reducing root rot incidence, thus promoting improvement of plant sanitary condition, with positive effects on fruit yield. From 2011 through 2013, five treatments were evaluated: T1: absence of inter-row vegetation, without mulch application under the canopy; T2: absence of inter-row vegetation and two applications of external mulch under the canopy: T3: two mulch depositions under the canopy obtained after cutting off the inter-row vegetation with a lateral alignment mower (LAM); T4: three mulch depositions under the canopy obtained after cutting off the inter-row vegetation with a LAM, and T5: maintenance of natural inter-row vegetation with three annual cuttings using a conventional mower, without mulch deposition under the canopy. The experiment was conducted in randomized blocks, with 6 repetitions and 3 plants per plot, on which the following variables were measured: levels of macro and micronutrients in leaves and soil; root and plant size development; fruit yield and size; plant sanitary condition visually assessed with a 10-note scale; biomass of inter-row vegetation; mulch thickness and chemical and microbiological soil characteristics. Mulching resulted in larger plant growth and fruit size, with no significant effects on fruit yield. Application of mulch obtained with a LAM enhanced root growth in the surface soil layer. Nonetheless, the treatments did not significantly affect nor the plant sanitary aspect, neither the leaf or soil levels of macro and micronutrients. Management of inter-row vegetation with a conventional mower resulted in larger biomass development, while managing inter-row vegetation with two or three cuttings with LAM per year resulted in similar amounts of mulch laid down under the canopy, yet less than with the application of external mulch (T2). All the treatments with mulch deposition suppressed weed growth under the canopy. In the treatment with no mulch and no inter-row cropping, a larger population of P. cinnamomi was recorded. There were no differences in the Actinomycetes soil population among treatments.

Previous issue date: 2009-03-10 / Conselho Nacional de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico - CNPq / Brazil is the main papaya’s producer in the world (Carica papaya L.) and it occupies the first position producing 1,65 million tones, thus, it is an important production with economic and social value, and, in this meaning, Bahia stands out as the largest producing state with a Brazilian production of 724 tons. Many diseases cause damage to the crop by increasing the cost of production, in some cases limiting the exploitation of that production, among those we can highlight diseases like papaya root damage caused by Phytophthora palmivora. This present study aimed: 1) to achieve the level of infestation of P. palmivora in soils of plantations of papaya commercial in the Extreme South of Bahia, to better support the measures of control; 2) ) to evaluate the action of biotic and abiotic inducers in order to increase the root rot in seedlings of papaya inoculated with P. palmivora, in the activity of enzymes of defense, 1,3-glucanase, peroxidase and chitinase, as well as the lignin content of roots; and 3) to analyze the effect of species of Trichoderma spp. on control of P. palmivora etiologic agent of root rot of papaya. In evaluating of the results of infestation of the soil of papaya orchards, it was showed that in those 33 areas assessed, only two of them, the presence of P. palmivora was not found. There was also no significant differences (p <0.05) for incidence of that pathogen, as those varieties of papaya grown in samples soil evaluated. In all eight municipalities that had sampled orchards the presence of the pathogen was detected, and it showed its wide distribution in the Extreme South of Bahia. To evaluate the control of foot rot in papaya seedlings, it was noted that the treatments using ASM, except the dosage 0.15 g / L 6 days before inoculation, showed levels of larger control to the other inductors. Plants sprayed with ASM showed increased activity of peroxidase and -1,3-glucanase and a highest concentration of lignin in relation to the witness. However,these treatments have no effect on the activity of chitinase. The ASM is a potential inducer of resistance to P. palmivora for using it in the management of root rot of papaya. As the assessment of agents of biocontrol happened it was noted that as using 33 isolated of Trichoderma only 2 isolated (T70 - T. harzianum, T68 - T. virens) did not differ statistically from that treatment with the standard fungicide and showed the percentage of survival of 58.3 and 52.4 respectively. The effect of these two isolated of Trichoderma on increase of dry mass and fresh in seedlings of papaya was also evaluated and it was noted that those two isolates showed higher increases in these parameters when compared with witness. The isolated T70 and T68 showed an increase of fresh and dry mass total of 110, 73% and 59; 59% respectively, compared with those witnesses only planted in the soil. The isolates of T. harzianum and T. virens presented potential with biocontrol agent of P. palmivora for being used in the management of root rot of papaya. / O Brasil é o principal produtor de mamão (Carica papaya L.) do mundo ocupando a primeira posição com uma produção de 1,65 milhão de toneladas, sendo assim, uma importante cultura tanto de valor econômico como social, e a Bahia se destaca como o maior Estado produtor brasileiro com uma produção de 724 mil toneladas. Várias doenças causam danos à cultura aumentando o custo de produção, sendo em alguns casos limitantes a exploração da cultura, dentre essas doenças podemos destacar a podridão do pé do mamoeiro causada por Phytophthora palmivora. Os objetivos do presente estudo foram: 1) realizar o nível de infestação de P. palmivora em solos de plantações de mamoeiros comerciais na região Extremo Sul da Bahia, para melhor subsidiar as medidas de controle; 2) avaliar a ação de indutores biótico e abióticos na redução da podridão de raízes em mudas de mamoeiro inoculadas com P. palmivora, na atividade das enzimas de defesa, 1,3-glucanase, peroxidase e quitinase, assim como no teor de lignina dasraízes; e 3) avaliar o efeito de espécies de Trichoderma spp. sobre controle de P. palmivora agente etiológico da podridão radicular do mamoeiro. Para a avaliaçãos dos resultados de infestação do solo de pamares de mamoeiro observou-se que das 33 áreas avaliadas apenas em duas não se constatou a presença de P. palmivora. Também não houve diferenças significativas (p<0,05) para incidência do patógeno, quanto às variedades de mamoeiro plantadas nas amostras de solos avaliados. Em todos os oito municípios que tiveram pomares amostrados foi detectada a presença do patógeno, atestando sua ampla distribuição no Extremo Sul da Bahia. Para avaliação do controle da podridão do pé em mudas de mamoeiro constou-se que os tratamentos com ASM, com exceção da dosagem 0,15 g/L 6 dias antes da inoculação, apresentaram níveis de controle supeiores aos demais indutores. Plantas pulverizadas com ASM apresentaram aumento deatividade da peroxidase e 1,3-glucanase e maior concentração de lignina em relação à testemunha. No entanto, estes tratamentos não tiverem efeito sobre a atividade da quitinase. O ASM é um potencial indutor de resistência a P. palmivora para ser usado no manejo da podridão de raízes do mamoeiro. Quanto a avaliação dos agentes de biocontrole observdos ou-se que 33 isolados de Trichoderma utilizados apenas 2 isolados (T70 - T. Harzianum, T68 - T. virens) não diferiram estatisticamente do tratamento com o fungicida padrão, apresentaram o percentual de sobrevivência de 58,3 e 52,4 respectivamente. Foi avaliado também o efeito destes dois isolados de Trichoderma sobre incremento de massa seca e fresco em mudas de mamoeiro e contatou-se que dois isolados apresentaram maiores aumentos nestes dois parâmetros quando comparados com testemunha. O isolado T70 e T68 de apresentaram um incremento de massa fresca e seca total de 110; 73% e 59; 59% respectivamente, comparados com a testemunha apenas plantadas no solo. Os isolados de T. harzianum e T. virens apresentaram potencial com agente biocontroladorde P. palmivora para ser usado no manejo da podridão de raízes do mamoeiro.

Effects of Oilseed Meals and Isothiocyanates (ITCS) on Phymatotrichopsis omnivora (Cotton Root Rot) and Soil Microbial CommunitiesHu, Ping 2012 May 1900 (has links)
The meals from many oilseed crops contain biocidal chemicals that are known to inhibit the growth and activity of several soil pathogens, though little is known concerning impacts on whole soil microbial communities. We investigated the effect of oilseed meals (SMs) from both brassicaceous plants, including mustard and camelina, as well as non-brassicaceous plants, including jatropha and flax, on P. omnivora (the casual agent of cotton root rot) in Branyon clay soil (at 1 and 5% application rates). We also investigated the effect of SMs from camelina, jatropha, flax, and wheat straw on microbial communities in Weswood loam soil. We also used four types of isothiocyanates (ITCs) including allyl, butyl, phenyl, and benzyl ITC to test their effects on P. omnivora growth on potato dextrose agar (PDA), as well as on soil microbial communities in a microcosm study. Community qPCR assays were used to evaluate relative abundances of soil microbial populations. Soil microbial community composition was determined through tag-pyrosequencing using 454 GS FLX titanium technology, targeting ITS and 16S rRNA gene regions for fungal and bacterial communities, respectively.
The results showed that all tested brassicaceous and jatropha SMs were able to inhibit P. omnivora sclerotial germination and hyphal growth, with mustard SM being the most effective. Flax didn't show any inhibitory effects on sclerotial germination. All tested ITCs inhibited P. omnivora OKAlf8 hyphal growth, and the level of inhibition varied with concentration and ITC type. Total soil fungal populations were reduced by ITC addition, and microbial community compositions were changed following SM and ITC application. These changes varied according to the type of SM or ITC added. Our results indicated that SMs of several brassicaceous species as well as jatropha may have potential for reducing cotton root rot as well as some other pathogens. Different SMs releasing varied ITCs may result in differential impacts on soil microorganisms including some pathogens.

Previous issue date: 2017-02-17 / CNPq / Phytophthora rot, caused by Phytophthora sojae causes seed rotting, damping-off, and also root and stem necrosis. Phytophthora rot has been occurring frequently in soybean crops in southern Brazil, even with the use of resistant cultivars. In the 2015/16 harvest, soybean crops in southern Brazil were surveyed to detect plants with Phytophthora rot. Thirty-two samples were analyzed, and the diagnosis and the attempt of isolation in specific culture medium were performed. The disease was detected in 62.5 % of them, and seven pathogen isolates were obtained. The disease was predominant in crops under monoculture, with aggravation in livestock-crop integration system areas. In a second experiment the soybean cultivars BMX ELITE IPRO, BMX APOLO RR, BMX ALVO RR, NA 5909 IPRO and NS 6909 IPRO were tested using a P. sojae isolate with virulence formula Rps1d, 2,3b, 3c, 4, 5,6,7, to verify the reaction of these cultivars to this isolate. All cultivars tested were resistant to the isolates. In a third experiment, soybean seeds of cultivar CD 202 IPRO, susceptible to P. sojae were treated with mixtures of chemical and microbiological fungicides. Plants from these treatments were inoculated with P. sojae mycelium in the hypocotyl, through two inoculation methods, at 6 (syringe method) and at 12 days (stick method). The seeds were also sown on a substrate containing P. sojae inoculum, like a third method of inoculation. Each experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with four replicates of 12 plants per treatment. The experiments were replicated. The active ingredient (ia) mefenoxam at a dose of 7.5 g (100 kg of seeds) guaranteed the emergence of soybean seedlings in P. sojae infested soil superior to the other fungicides used, reduced the severity of the disease and provided greater root dry mass. No fungicide was effective when inoculation was performed on the hypocotyl of the seedling / A podridão de fitóftora, causada por Phytophthora sojae causa apodrecimento de sementes, tombamento de plântulas, necrose das raízes e da haste da soja. A podridão de fitóftora vem ocorrendo com frequência em lavouras de soja no sul do Brasil, mesmo com a utilização de cultivares indicadas como resistentes. Na safra 2015/16 foi realizado um levantamento em lavouras de soja do sul do Brasil com o objetivo de detectar plantas com podridão de fitóftora. Ao total 32 amostras foram analisadas e de onde se realizou a diagnose e a tentativa de isolamento em meio de cultura específico. A doença foi detectada em 62,5 % delas, de onde foram obtidos sete isolados do patógeno. Houve predominância da doença em lavouras conduzidas sob monocultura, com agravo em áreas com sistema de integração lavoura-pecuária. Num segundo experimento foram testadas as cultivares de soja BMX ELITE IPRO, BMX APOLO RR, BMX ALVO RR, NA 5909 IPRO e NS 6909 IPRO, utilizando um isolado de P. sojae com fórmula de virulência Rps1d,2,3b,3c,4,5,6,7, com o objetivo de verificar a reação dessas cultivares ao isolado. Todas as cultivares testadas se mostraram resistentes ao isolado utilizado. Em um terceiro experimento, sementes de soja da cultivar CD 202 IPRO, suscetível a P. sojae, foram tratadas com misturas de fungicidas químicos e microbiológicos. Plântulas oriundas destes tratamentos foram inoculadas com micélio de P. sojae no hipocótilo, através de dois métodos de inoculação, aos 6 (método da seringa) e aos 12 dias (método do palito). As sementes também foram semeadas em substrato contendo inóculo de P. sojae, sendo considerado um terceiro método de inoculação. Cada experimento foi conduzido sob delineamento inteiramente casualizado com quatro repetições de 12 plântulas por tratamento. Os experimentos foram replicados. O ingrediente ativo (i.a) mefenoxam na dose de 7,5 g de i.a (100 kg de sementes) garantiu a emergência de plântulas de soja em solo infestado com P. sojae superior aos outros fungicidas utilizados. Nenhum fungicida foi eficiente quando a inoculação foi realizada no hipocótilo da plântula
