Sap inoculation on healthy V. cauliflora plants using CMV positive DAS-ELISA samples reproduced field symptoms. The transmission upon mechanical inoculation was 100%. For further confirmation, RT-PCR was carried out using CMV coat protein gene specific primers. Amplicons of expected size (c. 650 bp) were obtained in all symptomatic and sap inoculated samples. No amplification was observed in the asymptomatic samples. BLASTn analysis revealed that the amplicon sequence shares more than 99% identity with CMV isolates and in phylogenetic analysis it clustered with CMV IB isolates. This is the first record of V. cauliflora as a natural host of CMV worldwide.Keywords: Highland papayaDAS-ELISART-PCRVasconcellea caulifloraCMVIndia AcknowledgementsThe authors thank the Director, ICAR – IARI, New Delhi and Head, ICAR-IARI, Regional Station, Pune for providing lab facilities.Authors’ contributionsRV and ST carried out sample collection.

Forest fire due to highly inflammable pine needles and invasion of weeds are considered as a major cause of biodiversity loss in forests of NW Himalaya. Therefore, in the present work, the potential of forest wastes like needles of five conifer species and foliage of three noxious weeds along with some commonly used substrates were evaluated for the mass production of T. asperellum. Amongst all the screened substrates, the highest spore count was recorded on Pinus roxburghii needle powder supplemented with yeast extract and potato dextrose broth. Therefore, authors recommend the use of P. roxburghii needles for the mass multiplication of Trichoderma species as a replacement for useful agro-wastes.Keywords: Conifer needleweedsTrichodermamass multiplicationsubstratesspore load per gram (SLPG) Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThe authors are thankful to National Authority Compensatory Afforestation Fund Management and Planning Authority (CAMPA), New Delhi for financial support “OM 13-30/2019/NA, dated 06/12/2019”.","PeriodicalId":8323,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Phytopathology and Plant Protection","volume":"57 9","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135725966","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}

Cotton leaf curl virus disease is a major threat to lower the cotton yield in Pakistan. The present study aimed to predict the disease severity at different potassium (K) dosses based on abiotic environmental factors with respect to two sowing times. Three potassium (K) doses (90, 60, and 30 kg acre−1) were applied to observe the impact on disease severity. In control, no extra K was applied. Two sowings were done at 15 days intervals. Data was recorded using at seven days intervals after the appearance of the disease. A significant difference in disease severity was observed in K applied cotton plants and between the two sowing times. Maximum disease severity was noticed in control plants and was found maximum where 90 kg acre−1 K was applied. Maximum air temperature, minimum air temperature, rainfall, and windspeed exhibited a negative relationship with disease severity. A positive relationship was seen between disease severity and relative humidity irrespective to sowing times. In 1st sowing, maximum air temperature (35–38 °C), minimum air temperature (23–24 °C), relative humidity (65–75%), rainfall (1–2 mm), and windspeed (1.5–2.5 km/h) significantly contributed in disease progression.

The proposed method was tested in three separate locations, each two acres in size, with an untreated control. The first two were naturally infested, but the third was pathogen-free. Infested locations that had been treated experienced a significant reduction in disease incidence. The addition of a bio-fertilizer mixture (Azotobacter sp., Azospirillum sp., Bacillus megaterium, and Bacillus circulans) improved the compost’s suppressive potential. The method increased soil organic matter (SOM), N, P, K, Ca+2, and Mg+2 while decreasing Na+ levels and increasing potato yield. The relative abundance of Ralstonia decreased while that of Arthrobacter, Streptomyces, and Nocardioides increased. The presence of Gracilibacillus, Cellvibrio, Bacillus, and Paenibacillus was associated with a decrease in Ralstonia, whereas the presence of Propionibacterium (a nitrogen-fixing bacteria) was associated with an increase in Ralstonia.Keywords: Ralstonia solanacearumsoil health indicatorssoil suppressivenesssoil conducivenesscrop rotationantagonistic potential AcknowledgmentsThis research work was done within the framework of the proposed project “Rehabilitation of Nile Valley and Delta to produce brown rot-free potato qualified for exportation” and funded by The Science, Technology & Innovation Funding Authority (STIFA27859), Egyptian Ministry for Scientific Research.

This study aims to investigate the application of Bacillus subtilis as a bioagent against B. cinerea and reducing pre and postharvest disease as a replacement method to chemical pesticides. Five Botrytis isolates were molecularly confirmed and the virulent isolate BC2 was registered for the first time in the National Center of Biotechnology Information (NCBI) with accession number OP257237. The mycelial growth of B. cinerea was inhibited by up to 84% when treated with the bio agent bacterium using the double drawing method in Petri plates. Pre-harvest application of B. subtilis at a concentration of 108/ml CFU reduced postharvest -gray mold of tomato fruit during ripening stages in the greenhouse. Preharvest application of bioagent bacterium B. subtilis induced the levels of B-1, 3-glucanase and Polyphenol oxidase, indicating enhanced plant resistance to gray mold. Disease severity was decreased compared with control and extended the shelf life at 25 °C.The field application of the bio agent bacterium at the maturity of ripening in preharvest had a significant effect on increasing the level of polyphenol oxidase PPO and B-1, 3-glucanase, which are related to the enhancement of plant defenses and resistance. Additionally, it led to an increase in storage life and a reduction in post-harvest losses. The results demonstrated that preharvest application of bio agent bacterium Bacillus subtilis improved the quality of postharvest tomato fruit and significantly reduced gray mold incidence, all without the use of chemical pesticides.","PeriodicalId":8323,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Phytopathology and Plant Protection","volume":"85 1","pages":"1267 - 1281"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139324676","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}

Biorational insecticides are increasingly used for pest management due to their limited side effects. A study involving several biorational compounds, viz. spinosad, buprofezin, Beauveria bassiana, Lecanicillium muscarium and a chemical insecticide, fenitrothion was performed by leaf-dip bioassay to measure their efficacy against the bean aphid, A. craccivora Koch. as a representative of sucking pests. Mortality of aphids against treatment with biorational insecticides was recorded in three replicates under laboratory conditions. The lethal concentration (LC50 and LC90) of the treatments were calculated by probit analysis. Efficacy was concentration and time dependent. Spinosad has been found to be more effective than buprofezin. The spinosad (LC50 = 2582.04 ppm) and buprofezin (LC50 = 543.03 ppm) were found to be approximately 88 and 52 times less toxic than fenitrothion. At 48 h post-treatment (HPT), the highest mortality for spinosad and buprofezin was 66.67 and 60.00%, respectively, and reached 93.33% at 72 HPT. Among the two fungal biopesticides, L. muscarium was more effective than B. bassiana. For both, mortality (80–100%) at the higher concentrations was statistically different than others at 144 and 168 HPT.

Various treatment concentrations of ZnONPs (10, 20, 30, and 40 mg/L) were applied to pathogen-inoculated plants. Foliarly applied ZnONPs lowered the infection efficiency of the sprayed conidia by 73% on the leaf segments compared to the positive control.
