Antifungal activities of plant extracts and chemical fungicideswere tested both in vitro and in vivo conditions. The in vitro assay showed maximum inhibition of radial mycelial growth of A. alternata (100%) by D. caryophyllus extract, at concentrations of 2.5, 5, and 10% Similarly, the in-vivo assay showed a marked reduction in lesion diameter (2.5, 1.5, and 0.9 mm) and decreasing disease severity by 95.46, 97.04 and 98.22 %, respectively on the mango fruits treated with this extract. While the in vitro assay with Imazalil fungicide showed inhibition of radial mycelial growth of A. alternate by 82.13, 85.22, and 89.35%, respectively at 50, 100, and 200 ppm, respectively and reduced disease severity by 86.37, 88.90, and 93.43%, respectively. The residual activity of post-harvest treatment with imazalil (IMZ) and thiabendazole (TBZ) was studied at different dip lengths and different cold storage times on mango fruit. IMZ and TBZ residue decreased with the number of cold storage days for all treatments and the residue increased with the duration of dipping for all treatments. Both fungicides residues were lower than MRL set by codex and EU Pesticides Database.","PeriodicalId":332125,"journal":{"name":"Menoufia Journal of Plant Protection","volume":"30 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127096167","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The chemical composition of the oils was calculated by gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer (GC/MS) analysis. The results revealed that the major constituents of Nigella oil were fatty acid i.e. oleic acid (4.09%%), Fumaric acid (0.13%), Palmitic acid (4.95-1.65 %), Octadec-9-enoic acid (0.53%), myristic acid (0.78%), Cyclohexadecane (0.01%) and Hexanedioic acid bis (2-ethylhexyl) ester (75.02%). In addition, the main components of Eucalyptus oil were D-camphor (40.01%), linalool (20.57%), and cineole (10.86%). The chemical analysis showed also that clove oil contained eugenol (22.94%), eugenyl acetate (16.65%), caryophyllene (10.37 %) and 2-Pyridineethanol (6.08 %). In in vitro bioassay against X.anthomonas vesicatoria, the results demonstrated that among the three tested plant oils, Eucalyptus oil (10 %) recorded the maximum value was (1.73 cm) bacterial inhibition zone followed by Clove oil (1.50 cm). Results also showed spraying plants with the tested essential oils two days before bacterial inoculation recorded the lowest disease index comparing to the treatment where plants were treating with essential oils two days after bacterial inoculation. The obtained results also clearly illustrated that, Peroxidase (PO), polyphenoloxidase PPO and chitinase activities increased as a result of spraying tomato plants with the tested oils.

This disease causes significant yield losses in Egypt. Ten Fusarium isolates were isolated from wilted tomato plants growing in El-Menoufia Governorate during 2020 growing season. The most virulent isolate (isolate No. 6) was tested for its virulence on ten tomato cultivars under greenhouse conditions. The cultivars were significantly varied in their susceptibility toward the tested virulent isolate. The most susceptible cultivar was Carmen F1cv as it recorded the highest value of infection (100% and 96%) in seeds and seedlings experiments, respectively. On the other hand the results showed that Diamond Arwa cultivar was the most resistant tested cultivar where zero infection percentage was recorded on both seeds and seedling experiments. The chemical analysis using HPLC was conducted with the most susceptible tomato cultivar (Carmen) and the most resistant one (Diamond Arwa) one and three weeks post inoculation with pathogenic isolate of Fusarium. The results revealed that the accumulation of total phenolic compounds either in shoots or roots was higher three weeks after inoculation than one week post inoculation within the two tested cultivars. Remarkable that roots and shoots of most resistant cultivar tested recorded more total phenol concentrations rather than the susceptible one. Significant differences were detected among the resistant and the susceptible cultivars tested with the compounds detected at 21.2m; 26,2m and 29.1 minute in both shoots and roots three weeks after pathogen inoculation which suggesting potential role of these particular chemicals in resistance mechanism toward Fusarium wilt disease within resistant tomato cultivars.","PeriodicalId":332125,"journal":{"name":"Menoufia Journal of Plant Protection","volume":"604 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124214767","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
