Abstract
Fusarium spp., the causal agent of Fusarium wilt, cause substantial economic losses in viticulture, mainly in tropical regions. This study aimed to assess the biocontrol potential of Bacillus sp. F62 against Fusarium spp., both in vitro and in rootstock cuttings of the SO4 variety. To this end, the in vitro antagonism was evaluated through diffusible and volatile compounds synthesized by Bacillus sp. F62 on three Fusarium spp. isolates. Subsequently, the isolate FusA06-18 was selected for a rootstock cutting experiment. The vine cuttings underwent the following treatments: control, pathogen inoculation (Fus), bacterial inoculation (Bac), and bacterial followed by pathogen inoculation (Bac + Fus). Our findings revealed an average reduction of 39.1% in the mycelial growth of the pathogen through dual culture assay and a decrease of 11.6% in the Fusarium spp. radial growth due to the effects of volatile compounds. In the experiment with vine cuttings, applying Bacillus sp. F62 reduced the pathogen re-isolation frequency from 81.7% (Fus) to 63.3% (Bac + Fus). Therefore, Bacillus sp. F62 effectively suppressed the mycelial growth of Fusarium spp. and reduced the Fusarium wilt incidence in vine cuttings of the rootstock ‘SO4’.
期刊介绍:
Advances in Horticultural Science aims to provide a forum for original investigations in horticulture, viticulture and oliviculture. The journal publishes fully refereed papers which cover applied and theoretical approaches to the most recent studies of all areas of horticulture - fruit growing, vegetable growing, viticulture, floriculture, medicinal plants, ornamental gardening, garden and landscape architecture, in temperate, subtropical and tropical regions. Papers on horticultural aspects of agronomic, breeding, biotechnology, entomology, irrigation and plant stress physiology, plant nutrition, plant protection, plant pathology, and pre and post harvest physiology, are also welcomed. The journal scope is the promotion of a sustainable increase of the quantity and quality of horticultural products and the transfer of the new knowledge in the field. Papers should report original research, should be methodologically sound and of relevance to the international scientific community. AHS publishes three types of manuscripts: Full-length - short note - review papers. Papers are published in English.
