Use of biological control agents for managing fungal pathogens in Solanaceae crops: progress and future perspectives—a review

Deleted Journal, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 7(1)

Опубликована: Янв. 15, 2025

The growing global population has intensified concerns about food security, making it essential to produce crops sustainably meet increasing demands without harming the environment. In this regard, biological control agents (BCAs) have recently gained more attention owing their potential manage fungal diseases of crops, particularly in Solanaceae family. proper use selected BCAs such as Trichoderma spp., Bacillus Pseudomonas fluorescens, Beauveria bassiana, and Gliocladium spp. several benefits for crops. This review aims summarize effectiveness various strategies We also provide basic knowledge on along with suggestions further research reduce severity these destructive diseases.

Phytophthora spp.’s effect on citrus industry: Current status, challenges, and emerging control strategies

CABI Reviews, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Март 17, 2025

Abstract Gummosis, caused by various Phytophthora species, poses a significant threat to citrus trees globally, leading reduced fruit production and orchard decline. The primary pathogens responsible are P . citrophthora , P. nicotianae palmivora which infect roots, trunks, fruits, thriving in wet conditions spreading through zoospores. This review highlights the economic impact of gummosis, detailing symptoms such as bark cracking, gum exudation, root decay that contribute productivity. infection process pathogenicity mechanisms spp. examined, along with environmental factors like soil moisture temperature facilitate disease proliferation. Diagnostic methods, from traditional visual identification molecular tools PCR, discussed for their effectiveness detecting pathogen. Management strategies focus on integrated approaches combining cultural, biological, chemical controls. Key practices include improving drainage irrigation, using biological agents Bacillus Trichoderma suppress populations. Systemic fungicides, phosphonates metalaxyl, also remain vital managing high pressure. emphasizes need sustainable control measures mitigate ensuring long-term health profitability.

Root Disease Complexes of Arable Crops: Where Do We Stand and Where Should We Go?

Critical Reviews in Plant Sciences, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown, С. 1 - 29

Опубликована: Март 20, 2025

Root diseases are a major global threat to sustainable agricultural production. Complexes of interacting soilborne fungal, oomycete and nematode pathogens involved in causing these that generally termed root disease complexes. These pathogen complexes typically have resilient long-term survival mechanisms, the ability cross-infect multiple crop genera species, wide range spatial dispersal modes. Although, some instances, individual within complex been identified using classical molecular techniques, most cases full remain undefined. At level, it is increasingly obvious different engage unique sets proteins infect hosts successfully. In addition, unpredictable ever-changing nature space time challenges their management. A better understanding whole system dynamics thus prerequisite for effective management, especially under climate change scenarios. Management dependent upon improved detection diagnostic techniques accurately define complement involved, along with an evolution complexes, epidemiology, adaptation across wide-ranging dynamic systems. This review will focus on arable crops, particular emphasis diagnosis, genetic diversity, management options, and, how airborne interact, identify future scope research.

Incidence and Severity Distribution of Sweet Cherry (Prunus avium) and Their Influencing Factors in Southwest China

Plant Disease, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Март 26, 2025

Root rot disease is a significant constraint to sweet cherry production in the highlands of southwest China, causing substantial yield losses. While prevalent, complex interplay climate, topography, soil, and management practices on its development remains poorly understood. To address this knowledge gap, field survey encompassing 95 sites was conducted assess incidence (DI) canopy damage index ( C DI). Our results showed that average DI were 27.04 20.52%, respectively. influenced by practices: they both increased with number planting years lower Cerasus szechuanica rootstock composted animal manures compared Da-qingye uncomposted manures. Climatic topographic factors also played an important role observing higher at altitudes shady slopes (P < 0.05). Moreover, demonstrated positive correlations aridity sunshine duration negative mean annual temperature precipitation Soil properties, including moisture content, bulk density, pH, sand positively associated DI, while clay content available potassium exhibited correlation. The present study emphasizes combined impact multiple root cherry, soil properties having more decisive effect than climate topography. These findings provide crucial insights for developing effective strategies.

Exploring the Antifungal Activity of Moroccan Bacterial and Fungal Isolates and a Strobilurin Fungicide in the Control of Cladosporium fulvum, the Causal Agent of Tomato Leaf Mold Disease

Plants, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 13(16), С. 2213 - 2213

Опубликована: Авг. 9, 2024

The causal agent of tomato leaf mold, Cladosporium fulvum, is prevalent in greenhouses worldwide, especially under high humidity conditions. Despite its economic impact, studies on antifungal agents targeting C. fulvum remain limited. This study evaluates biocontrol (BCAs) as alternatives to chemical controls for managing this disease, alongside the strobilurin fungicide azoxystrobin. From a Moroccan collection potential BCAs, five bacterial isolates (Alcaligenes faecalis ACBC1, Pantoea agglomerans ACBC2, ACBP1, ACBP2, and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens SF14) three fungal (Trichoderma spp. OT1, AT2, BT3) were selected tested. vitro results demonstrated that P. reduced mycelial growth by over 60% at 12 days post-inoculation (dpi), while Trichoderma achieved 100% inhibition just 5 dpi. All produced volatile organic compounds (VOCs) with rates ranging from 38.8% 57.4%. Likewise, cell-free filtrates significantly inhibited pathogen’s growth. Greenhouse tests validated these findings, showing all tested effective reducing disease incidence severity. Azoxystrobin effectively impeded growth, particularly protective treatments. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis revealed significant biochemical changes treated plants, indicating activity. provides valuable insights into efficacy BCAs azoxystrobin, contributing integrated management strategies mold disease.
