SANTRAUKA Magistratūros studijų baigiamajame darbe įvertintas ir pritaikytas Botrytis spp. infekcijos prognozavimo modelis ropiniuose svogūnuose apsaugai nuo ligų vegetacijos metu. Darbo objektai – ropiniai svogūnai (Allium cepa L.); ligos sukėlėjai - kekerinis lapų dėmėtumas (Botrytis squamosa) ir lapų taškuotoji dėmėtligė (Botrytis cinerea); internetinė „iMETOS®sm“ prognozavimo sistema (Botrytis spp. infekcijos prognozavimo modelis). Tyrimo metodai: tiriamas meteorologinės stotelės „iMETOS®sm“ Botrytis spp. infekcijos prognozavimo modelių pritaikymas ropiniuose svogūnuose. Tirti dviejų Botrytis rūšių sukeliamų ligų prognozavimo modeliai: 1) Botrytis squamosa infekcijos modelis; 2) Botrytis cinerea rizikos modelis. Mikologiniams tyrimams ėminiai surinkti nuo Botrytis grybais pažeistų svogūnų vegetatyvinių dalių vystymosi tarpsniu ir tirti taikant vizualinį – simptomatinį, drėgnų kamerų, sėjimo į Petri lėkšteles, mikroskopavimo metodus. Išskirti izoliatai identifikuoti iki rūšies, remiantis kolonijų kultūrinėmis ir morfologinėmis savybėmis bei lyginant su literatūros duomenimis, naudojant apibūdintojus (Domsch ir kt., 1980, p. 859). Tyrimams pasirinktos dvi apsaugos sistemos: pagal faktinį ligos simtomų aptikimo laiką ir pagal „iMETOS®sm“ Botrytis spp. infekcijos svogūnuose modelio parodymus. Darbo rezultatai. Botrytis squamosa infekcijos prognozavimo modelis parodė, kad svogūnų kekeriniam dėmėtumui plisti palankios sąlygos abiejuose tirtuose rajonuose susidarė birželio–rugpjūčio mėn. Kauno r.

SUMMARY The master's degree thesis is evaluated and applied to the Botrytis spp. infection in onion forecasting model for the protection against disease during the growing season. Object of the work - onion (Allium cepa L.) pathogens - Botrytis leaf blight discoloration (Botrytis squamosa) and Botrytis leaf spot in (Botrytis cinerea), an online „iMETOS®sm” Forecasting System (Botrytis spp. infection prediction model). Methods of the work: studied meteorological station „iMETOS®sm” Botrytis spp. infection forecasting models use onion. To explore the two types of diseases caused by Botrytis forecasting models: 1) Botrytis squamosa infection model, 2) risk model Botrytis cinerea. Mycological examination of samples collected fungi Botrytis damaged vegetative parts of the onion stage of development and exploration through visual - symptomatic, moist chambers, seeding in petri dishes, microscopy techniques. Distinguish isolates identified to species based on cultural and morphological colony characteristics and comparison with literature data using apibūdintojus (Domsch et al., 1980, p. 859). For this work, the two security systems based on the actual detection of the disease symptoms at the time and under „iMETOS®sm” Botrytis spp. evidence of infection onion model. The results of work. Botrytis squamosa infection prediction model showed that the onion gray mold to spread favorable conditions in both regions studied occurred between June and August. Kaunas district. B. squamosa infection counted in favor of 37 days of the date of permits – 45 days. Botrytis risk prediction models have shown that the conditions spotted leaf fleck spread occurred only permits. Was recorded 26 days with a maximum of 60 % Botrytis cinerea infection risk value, the recommended use of plant protection products. The comparison of Botrytis squamosa and Botrytis cinerea infection risk forecasting model parameters, according to preliminary estimates the first fungicide spray controlling B. squamosa and B. cinerea infections spread permits. could be carried out on 22 June., Kaunas district. – 24 June. Investigated the effectiveness of security systems, Botrytis spp. was fundamentally different: the actual spraying of the disease setting performance in 2011. amounted to an average of 58 %, according to „iMETOS®sm” Botrytis infection model – 80 %.

  • Factors Affecting Development of Iris Rhizome Rot Caused by Botrytis Convoluta Whetzel and Drayton
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF JOHN LEWIS MAAS for the Ph. D. (Name of student) (Degree) in Plant Pathology presented on April 19, 1968 (Major) (Date) Title: FACTORS AFFECTING DEVELOPMENT OF IRIS RHIZOME ROT CAUSED BY BOTRYTIS CONVOLUTA WHETZEL AND DRAYTON Abstract approved: Robert L. Powelson Abundant conidial and sclerotial production occurs on iris plants infected with Botrytis convoluta Whetzel and Drayton during the cool moist months of the year. Experiments were designed to study the survival and inoculum potential of conidia and sclerotia. Basic nutritional requirements of the fungus in culture were also studied. Results of field and laboratory studies indicated a large per- centage of iris plants apparently free of B. convoluta carried latent infections. The evidence indicates that these latent infections origi- nate from contact of healthy tissue with senescent or dead leaf and/ or rhizome tissues. Progression into healthy tissues is halted by increasingly higher soil and air temperatures and periderm forma- tion which walls off the infections. Active rot development occurs when conditions favorable for pathogenesis return. These latent infections which are undetectable visually would be a very important means of dissemination of the disease since growers believe they are shipping sound rhizomes. Chemical control would be difficult because the infections are inaccessible to non -systemic fungicides. Field inoculation of rhizomes with conidia, sclerotia and rolled - oat cultures of B. convoluta resulted in significantly increased infec- tion of iris plants inoculated with conidia. Sclerotia placed onto wounded areas of rhizomes also caused significantly increased in- fection incidence. Differences in field resistance to the pathogen were also noted.

(Latin cepa = onion), also known as the bulb onion or Onion common onion, is a vegetable and is the most widely cultivated species of the genus Allium. This genus also contains several other species variously referred to as onions and cultivated for food, such as the Japanese bunching onion (A. fistulosum), the Egyptian onion (A. ×proliferum), and the Canada onion (A. canadense). The name "wild onion" is applied to a number of Allium species, but A. cepa is exclusively known from cultivation. Its ancestral wild original form is not known, although escapes from cultivation have become established Scientific classification in some regions.[2] The onion is most frequently a biennial or a perennial plant, but is usually treated as Kingdom: Plantae an annual and harvested in its first growing season. Clade : Angiosperms The onion plant has a fan of hollow, bluish•green Clade : Monocots leaves and the bulb at the base of the plant begins to swell when a certain daylength is reached.

  • Neck Rot of Onion
    U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service Systematic Mycology and Microbiology Laboratory - Invasive Fungi Fact Sheets Neck rot of onion - Ciborinia allii Neck rot of onion occurs on the vegetative organs of onions including the bulbs and are known especially at the vegetative stage and as a post-harvest disease. Confusion exists about the causal organism thus it is unclear how widespread is this pathogen in the United States and Europe. Based on recent understanding of the Botrytis-like species on Allium, Ciborina allii is known primarily from Asia. The anamorph Botrytis allii has since been shown to be a natural hybrid resulting from a cross of B. byssoidea with B. aclada (Nielsen et al., 2002; Staats et al., 2005) but it is unclear if this is the asexual state of C. allii.

  • Gray Mold Is Figure 1
    report on RPD No. 942 PLANT May 2000 DEPARTMENT OF CROP SCIENCES DISEASE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AT URBANA-CHAMPAIGN GRAY-MOLD ROT OR BOTRYTIS BLIGHT OF VEGETABLES Gray-mold rot or Botrytis blight, caused by the wide- spread fungus Botrytis cinerea, affects most vegetable and fruit crops, as well as a large number of shrubs, trees, flowers, and weeds. The disease is favored by cool moist conditions and little or no wind. Cool, damp, poorly ventilated greenhouses are ideal for the disease, and Botrytis blights are probably the most common diseases of greenhouse-grown crops, especially in the spring and fall when the vents of greenhouses are closed at night to prevent heat loss. In the greenhouse, gray mold is Figure 1. Botrytis fruit rot of pepper. Note the typical often said to be a disease of bad management. Gray- dense gray mold on the decayed area (courtesy Dr. A.O. mold losses in the field are severe following Paulus). prolonged periods of overcast skies, fogs, heavy dews, or light drizzly rains. The fungus causes primarily blossom blights and fruit rots, but can also cause damping-off, bud rot, stem cankers or rots, leaf spots or blights, bulb rots, and tuber or root rots. Botrytis is also a problem on fruits and vegetables in cold storage and subsequent shipment because the fungus is able to function at temperatures just above freezing. With some possible exceptions, Botrytis mainly attacks tender tissues (flower petals, buds, or seedlings), weakened or injured tissues, and aging (senescent) and dead tissues. Actively growing tissues, other than flower petals, are seldom invaded directly.
