Abstract
Bacterial halo blight (BHB), caused by Pseudomonas coronafaciens pv. garcae (Pcg), is one of the most significant diseases affecting coffee trees worldwide, resulting in considerable damage and notable losses within coffee production systems. Further research into the epidemiology and aetiology of BHB in coffee plants is essential for developing effective management strategies. Understanding the efficiency of each inoculation methodology in inducing symptoms is crucial for advancing this research. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the efficiency of seven Pcg inoculation methods using five concentrations to enhance the highest BHB intensity. The experimental design was a complete randomized block design in a factorial (7 × 5) variance analysis with four replications. The first three pairs of leaves of coffee seedlings of the cultivar Catuaí Vermelho IAC-99 were inoculated and evaluated for the incidence and severity of BHB. The inoculation methods of Pcg by injury provided higher BHB AUDPCI and AUDPCS values. Among these, the inoculum injection and multi-needle wounding at inoculum concentrations of 1.6 × 109 CFU mL−1 demonstrated higher disease intensity.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Phytopathology publishes original and review articles on all scientific aspects of applied phytopathology in agricultural and horticultural crops. Preference is given to contributions improving our understanding of the biotic and abiotic determinants of plant diseases, including epidemics and damage potential, as a basis for innovative disease management, modelling and forecasting. This includes practical aspects and the development of methods for disease diagnosis as well as infection bioassays.
Studies at the population, organism, physiological, biochemical and molecular genetic level are welcome. The journal scope comprises the pathology and epidemiology of plant diseases caused by microbial pathogens, viruses and nematodes.
Accepted papers should advance our conceptual knowledge of plant diseases, rather than presenting descriptive or screening data unrelated to phytopathological mechanisms or functions. Results from unrepeated experimental conditions or data with no or inappropriate statistical processing will not be considered. Authors are encouraged to look at past issues to ensure adherence to the standards of the journal.
