Summary: The outcome of the project will be that resource-poor rural populations will benefit from reduced crop vulnerability to pest and disease attacks through increased use of genetic diversity on-farm. By providing farmers and NARS researchers with the tools and practices needed to manage local crop (intra-specific) genetic diversity, farmers’ options to combat pest and disease on-farm will be expanded, food security will be increased, genetic diversity conserved, and ecosystem health 1 improved. The project will develop tools to determine when and where intra-specific crop diversity can be used to manage pest and disease pressures by integrating existing farmer knowledge, belief and practices with advances in the analysis of crop-pest/disease interactions.

  • 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.

Received 11 June, 2014; Accepted 13 June, 2014 Onion (Allium cepa L.) and garlic (Allium sativum L.) are the most important commercial crops grown all over the world and consumed in various forms. In India, onion and garlic have been under cultivation for the last 5000 years. It is generally used as vegetables, spices or as medicines. India ranks second to China in area and production in both onion and garlic, but ranks 102nd for onion and 74th for garlic in terms of productivity. These crops are generally grown throughout the country especially in the states of Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Orissa, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, Uttaranchal, Jammu and Kashmir, Bihar, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. The onion and garlic crop is attacked by many diseases and insect pests at different crop growth stages which causes considerable losses in yield.

  • Epidemiology of Chocolate Spot (Botrytis Fabae Sard.) and Faba
    ACCESS Freely available online atholog OPEN P y & nt a M l i P c f r o o b l i a o l n o r Journal of g u y o J ISSN: 2157-7471 Plant Pathology & Microbiology Review Article Epidemiology of Chocolate Spot (Botrytis fabae sard.) and Faba Bean (Vicia faba L.) Resistance Potential for Disease Control in Ethiopia: A Review Fikiru Wakoya Walde* Department of Plant Sciences, College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, Wollega University, P. O. Box 38 Shambu, Ethiopia ABSTRACT Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is an important pulse crop produced all over the world, however, its production is reducing especially due to chocolate spots (Botrytis fabae Sard.) which is a highly dominant and damaging disease in Ethiopia. The objective of this review is; to point out the opportunities and challenges of disease epidemics and the resistance potential of faba bean crops in Ethiopia. This disease, causing a yield reduction up to 34 to 67% varies on the tolerances and the susceptibility of the cultivar as well as environmental variables. Its occurrence differs among districts, years, growth stages, agronomic practices, and climatic conditions. Under favorable conditions, chocolate spot disease increases as the plant's growth stage and the quantity as well as the potential of inoculum transported to the crop canopy and the time of arrival of inoculum related to the stage of the crop development and weather condition. The main selection criterion and epidemiological components of resistance are infection efficiency, the extent of symptoms, and the latent period. Some efforts have been made to integrate host plant resistance, epidemiological knowledge, chemical and cultural practices to manage the disease.
