The plants were inoculated following soil inoculation technique, using barley culture of the pathogen. All the varieties were infected, with percentage infection ranging from 62.50 to 100%. Varieties varied in percent mortality (0.00 - 100). Plants of the eggplant variety BAUBegun-2, although infected, all regenerated and were graded resistant. The varieties Dohazari G and BAUBegun-1 were graded as susceptible. Anatomy and biochemical constituents, namely total phenols, ascorbic acid, total sugar, reducing sugar and Ca- oxalate contents of the collar region were investigated. BAUBegun-2 was characterized with thick cuticle, thick epidermal cells, many trichomes and smaller intercellular spaces in the cortex which could have restricted the entry of S. rolfsii into the cell. A higher level of biochemical activities was observed in eggplant var. BAUBegun-2. There was a clear correlation between anatomical _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ *Corresponding author: Email: [email protected]; Hasan and Meah; IJPR, 2(2): 1-13, 2019; Article no.IJPR.47775 features and biochemical constituents, and collar rot incidence.

Antoniou • Sotirios E. Tjamos • Epaminondas J. Paplomatas* Laboratory of Plant Pathology, Department of Crop Science, Agricultural University of Athens, Iera Odos 75, Votanikos, 118 55 Athens, Greece Corresponding author : * [email protected] ABSTRACT Greenhouse climatic conditions provide an ideal environment for the development of many foliar, stem and soil-borne plant diseases. In the present article, the most important diseases of greenhouse tomato, pepper, and eggplant crops caused by biotic factors are reviewed. Pathogens that cause serious yield reduction leading to severe economic losses have been included. For each disease that develops either in the root or aerial environment, the causal organisms (fungi, bacteria, phytoplasmas, viruses), main symptoms, and disease development are described, as well as control strategies to prevent their widespread outbreak. Since emerging techniques for the environmentally friendly management of plant diseases are at present imperative, an integrated pest management approach that combines cultural, physical, chemical and biological control strategies is suggested. This review is based on combined information derived from available literature and the personal knowledge and expertise of the authors and provides an updated account of the diseases of three very important Solanaceaous crops under greenhouse conditions.

Five chemical fungicides, two plant extracts, organic amendment - poultry manure and biocontrol-agent Trichoderma harzianum were evaluated against the disease in field condition. Fungicides and plant extracts were sprayed at the base of each plant and adjacent soil at 40, 50 and 60 days after transplanting. Organic manure and biocontrol-agent were applied to the soil before transplanting. The lowest disease incidence (7.10 %) and no disease severity were observed in Bavistin 50 WP at 120 DAT followed by Topgan 50 WP and Ridomil Gold. Higher yield and plant growth like plant hight (88 cm), number of branch/plant (7.33) and number of leaf/branch (25.33) was also supported by Bavistin 50 WP .

Foot Rot (Phytophthora spp.) is an important disease in Indonesia and in the world. Around 35% of citrus plantations have been damaged by the complex of foot rot disease and Diplodia disease (Botryodiplodia theobromae), mainly in swamps and irrigated fields. The spread of the disease is fast, but the knowledge of citrus farmers is still limited, causing rapid death in production plants.This paper purpose is to provide an overview of the citrus root disease control from research studies supporting the efforts of Good Agricultural Practices in Indonesia. Usually farmers only rely on systemic pesticides to control disease, but it is not always successful. Control by means of healthy cultivation is highly recommended in supporting green agroindustry and saving nature. Integrated and rational control strategies, require knowledge of the ecology and epidemic of diseases ranging from seedlings to gardens.
