Abstract
Fusarium wilt, caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. passiflorae (FOP), stands out as an obstacle to the production of Passiflora edulis Sims. Little is known about the interaction of FOP with substrates and pH ranges that can be used in the development of management strategies or selection for resistance in Passiflora spp. Thus, the effect of different soil: manure or soil: coconut fiber ratios with pH ranging from acidic to alkaline on the production of FOP propagules was evaluated. The experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design, using four soil: manure or soil: coconut fiber ratios (5:0, 5:2, 5:4, 5:6 (v:v)). Each mixture’s pH was adjusted from 4.2 to 8.0 (soil: manure) or 4.2 to 9.7 (soil: coconut fiber). The production of microconidia, macroconidia, chlamydospores and colony forming units was evaluated at 3, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days after substrate infestation. The greatest number of propagules was registered in the groups treated with the highest proportions of manure or coconut fiber. The use of manure, regardless of the pH range, provided increases of 98%, 48%, and 13% in the number of colony forming units, microconidia and chlamydospores, respectively, in relation to the spores produced in substrates using coconut fiber. However, the production of macroconidia was 66% higher when fiber was used. Chlamydospore production was not affected by substrate pH, unlike other propagules with greater activity at slightly acidic, neutral or alkaline pH. The use of soil plus cattle manure in the ratios 5:4 or 5:6 with a pH between 5.1 and 8.0 was associated with the highest production of FOP propagules.
期刊介绍:
The European Journal of Plant Pathology is an international journal publishing original articles in English dealing with fundamental and applied aspects of plant pathology; considering disease in agricultural and horticultural crops, forestry, and in natural plant populations. The types of articles published are :Original Research at the molecular, physiological, whole-plant and population levels; Mini-reviews on topics which are timely and of global rather than national or regional significance; Short Communications for important research findings that can be presented in an abbreviated format; and Letters-to-the-Editor, where these raise issues related to articles previously published in the journal. Submissions relating to disease vector biology and integrated crop protection are welcome. However, routine screenings of plant protection products, varietal trials for disease resistance, and biological control agents are not published in the journal unless framed in the context of strategic approaches to disease management.
