These isolates were highly effective against the 4th instar larvae of the insect. All the isolates killed 100% of the insects within 24–48 h using 200 infective juveniles (IJs)/larvae. Similar mortality rates were observed at lower nematode concentrations, but more time was required. Heterorhabditis bacteriophora MK256358 and S. cholashanense MH128155 showed the best performance in killing and reproductive potential.

Four union council in each district and five fields per union council were assessed in “X” shaped pattern. The highest disease incidence was found in district Bannu (78.05%) while least was detected in district Tank (39.84%). Similarly, the isolates of Bannu and Kohat districts exhibited larger colony diameter and spore size than other isolates. Yield losses were also assessed based on attainable and actual yield.

Endophytic fungi isolated from these plants were categorised into 27 morphogroups based on physical attributes measured in vitro. Sequence diversity was estimated from the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the ribosomal DNA gene. Of the 53 isolates characterised in this study, identification of only one isolate was conclusive at the species level. Twenty-eight isolates were identified to the level of genus, belonging to seven families and six orders, six isolates to the level of family, 13 at the level of order, one to the super family, and four to the subphylum. Members of the genera Fusarium and Alternaria, and of the families Necteriaceae, Pleosporaceae and Trichocomaceae were the most abundant fungal endophytes identified.

Isolated fungus was identified using morphological and molecular characters and evaluated against plant pathogens. Isolated culture was identified as Trichoderma longibrachiatum based on morphological and cultural characteristics. The isolate (TL-RD-01) was able to solubilize the zinc and able to produce the indole 3 acetic acid of about 32.01 μg/ml. To optimize the growth media different carbon and nitrogen sources were studied. Maltose, Corn flour, Peptone and Yeast Extract used media attained maximum growth of T. longibrachiatum. The pH (5 to 6) and temperature (25 °C to 30 °C) was optimized for the growth of T. longibrachiatum TL-RD-01. Molecular identification based on internal transcribed spacer 1 and 2 region (ITS1 and ITS2) sequence analysis have been further confirmed as T. longibrachiatum. The phylogenetic analysis of above ITS gene sequences were carried out. T. longibrachiatum isolate was clearly separated with ITS sequence’s analysis with other species of Trichoderma. Mycoparasitic effect of T. longibrachiatum was carried out by dual plate technique against agriculturally important plant pathogens viz., Macrophomina phaseolina, Phytopthora infestans, Collectrotrichum gleosporides (Mango) and Colletotrichum falcatum. Pathogen inhibition effect of T. longibrachiatum isolate was in between 50% to 81.94%. As per the investigation, Trichoderma longibrachiatum (TL-RD-01) could be deployed as a biocontrol agent and a biostimulant.","PeriodicalId":8323,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Phytopathology and Plant Protection","volume":"55 1","pages":"2111 - 2129"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48530862","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 little leaf and excessive branching suggested the possibility of phytoplasma association. However, the presence of whiteflies in the vicinity and leaf curling suggested begomovirus infection. Three leaf samples from Withania somnifera and Capsicum annum symptomatic plants and one from non-symptomatic leaf were used for DNA isolation and were subjected to PCR using P1/P6 primers and nested PCR R16F2n/R16r2 primers, respectively, for the detection of phytoplasma. The begomovirus coat protein-specific primer AV1F/AV1R was used to detect begomovirus infection. Nested PCR amplified the ∼1.2 kb amplicon in all six symptomatic leaves and no amplification was observed in non-symptomatic leaves. The CP region primer yielded ∼800 bp amplicons in all three symptomatic samples of each plant. Amplified products from both primers were eluted, purified, and sequenced. The phytoplasma sequence obtained from Withania somnifera (MH789552) shared the highest sequence identity (99.92%) with other isolates of a clover proliferation group (16SrVI-D) group of phytoplasmas. However, Capsicum annum plants shared the highest identity (99%) with the Ca. P. asteris-related (16SrI-B) group of phytoplasma. In silico RFLP analysis of the 1.2 kbp product of the 16S rRNA sequence of the W. somnifera and C. annum phytoplasma strains submitted to the pDRAW32 tool (https://www.acaclone.com/) and phylogenetic analysis through the MEGA 6.0 tool confirmed that it as a member of the 16SrVI-D subgroup and 16SrI-B subgroup, respectively. The CP gene sequence of the W. somnifera isolate (MW176071) showed maximum identity (99%) with several isolates of the Tomato leaf curl virus reported from various places in India. However, the C. annum isolate (MW420480) shared maximum identity with the Ageratum enation virus.
