Evaluation of Watermelon Germplasm for Resistance to Phytophthora Blight Caused by Phytophthora capsici
This study was conducted to determine the Phytophthora rot resistance of 514 accessions of watermelon germplasm, Citrullus lanatus var lanatus. About 46% of the 514 accessions tested were collections from Uzbekistan, Turkey, China, U.S.A., and Ukraine. Phytophthora capsici was inoculated to 45-day-old watermelon seedlings by drenching with 5 ml of sporangial suspension (10(6) sporangia/ml). At ...
متن کاملBiochar amendment changes jasmonic acid levels in two rice varieties and alters their resistance to herbivory
Biochar addition to soil not only sequesters carbon for the long-term but enhances agricultural productivity. Several well-known benefits arise from biochar amendment, including constant provision of nutrients, increased soil moisture retention, decreased soil bulk density, and sometimes the induction of systemic resistance against foliar and soil borne plant pathogens. However, no research has...
متن کاملChloropicrin Emission Reduction by Soil Amendment with Biochar
Biochar has sorption capacity, and can be used to enhance the sequestration of volatile organic contaminants such as pesticides in soil. Chloropicrin (CP) is an important soil fumigant for the production of many fruit and vegetable crops, but its emissions must be minimized to reduce exposure risks and air pollution. The objective of this study was to determine the capacity of biochar to adsorb...
متن کاملCitrus diseases caused by Phytophthora species
Different species of Phytophthora cause serious and economically important soilborne diseases of citrus throughout the World. Tree and crop production losses occur from damping-off of seedlings in the seedbed, root and crown rot in nurseries, foot rot and fibrous root rot, and brown rot of fruit in groves. Foot rot results from infection of the bark near the ground level producing lesions on th...
متن کاملEvaluation of Phenotypic Stability of Resistance to Phytophthora spp. in Cacao Clones
Resistance of fourteen Theobroma cacao clones to Phytophthora spp. was evaluated using stem inoculations on grafted seedlings. Concepts of phenotypic stability were used to interpret the results and to express horizontality of the resistance. The linear regression coefficient ‘b’, the determination coefficient (R2) and average lesion size were used to determine the level of horizontal resistanc...
