Red Palm Weevil (RPW) (Rhynchophorus ferrugineus) is one of the most dangerous pests that cause heavy damages on palm trees, and it was recently spread from India to a number of Arab countries. RPW was discovered for the first time in Tunisia during late 2011 on some 30 ornamental palms (Phoenix canariencis) planted around Carthage municipality, showing infestation symptoms. It is most likely that the insect had entered the country around one to two years earlier by illegal importation of infested ornamental palm seedlings from Italy. Despite the effort of the Plant Protection Department by removing and burning infested trees after total cutting of the tips, cleaning them from the insect and treating all their remains on site, the unstable political situation that characterized Tunisia during the few past years and by not giving priority to this subject by the authorities, lead to the progressive pest spread since early 2013 until it reached other areas such as Kram, Soukra, Marsa and Belvedere. In addition, the pest seems presently invading the southern areas of Grand Tunis governorates and probably it entered Nabeul governorate. If the pest keeps spreading until reaching the date palm trees in southern Tunisia, the result will be a disaster because of the reduction of the oasis date production, which will negatively affect the livelihood of the people living in those regions and the Tunisian economy at large. Lately, the Ministry of Agriculture authorities recognized the coming danger and now a strong pest control program is being executed on a high number of ornamental palms in all regions where the pest infestation symptoms appeared. But, if enough attention and support was provided in early 2012, the result would have been better. It is now essential to maximize efforts and support to the Plant Protection Department to do the necessary to restrict the pest spread, and eventually to eradicate it. At this time, it is useful to remind the authorities by the success achieved in Morocco during the past six years to prevent the pest spread out of the Tangier area in northern Morocco, and the information coming from there indicates that the pest spread areas started to shrink, which means that the battle against RPW is almost won in Morocco. Former experiences in many other countries indicated that eradication of any pest after entering a new area is not an easy task, so it is important to increase the effort of all authorities and particularly the Ministry of Agriculture, to avoid the disaster before it happens and to resolve the battle to the benefit of the palm trees, and to protect the oases in southern Tunisia (around 7 million date palms planted in around 35,000 ha) from the risk that endanger them and potentially coming from the north of the country. It is crucial to start a national awareness campaign regarding this issue and to execute decisive measures of internal plant quarantine to prohibit the transportation of any kind of palms or parts of them from the north of the country to its south, and to punish violators by imposing strict penalties, because the battle against RPW is a national battle, where all the Tunisian people should participate to protect the natural resources of the oases in the south and to avoid a real disaster.

Vol. 4, No. 2, 2018, pp. 48-58. doi: 10.11648/j.jdmp.20180402.12 Received : April 26, 2018; Accepted : May 15, 2018; Published : May 29, 2018 Abstract: White rot, an garlic disease caused by the soil-borne fungus S. cepivora , is a serious problem of garlic productions in Egypt. This study examines the potential of controlling the disease biologically by using three sclerotial mycoparasites i.e ., Chaetomium globosum (Chg6), Clonostachys rosea (Cr12) and Penicillium oxalicum (Po9) employed either alone or in combinations. In in vitro assays, these sclerotial mycoparasites showed high antagonistic effect against S. cepivora isolate (Sc8). In greenhouse experiments, the chemical treatment of tebuconazole was the most effective, with the lowest incidence of white rot in garlic compared to the control. Sclerotial mycoparasites either alone or in combinations significantly reduced the incidence of white rot in garlic.

Elshahawy1* and Abo El-Khair B. El-Sayed2 Abstract The main goal of this study was enhancing the biocontrol activity of Trichoderma spp. (T. harzianum, T. koningii, T. viride, and T. virens) against Cephalosporium maydis, the cause of late wilt disease in maize. Five isolates of C. maydis were isolated from diseased maize plants, showing late wilt symptoms, and were collected from infected maize fields in Gharbia Governorate, Egypt. Pathogenicity test revealed that all C. maydis isolates were able to attack maize plants (cv. Baladi), which cause late wilt disease. Isolate 3 (Cm3) was the most virulent of them. In in vitro experiments, vegetative growth of the mycelium of C. maydis was highly inhibited after opposite sides’ treatment by Trichoderma species on Potato Dextrose Agar plates amended with Chlorella vulgaris extracts (cool and hot extracts) than unamended one. Formulation of C. vulgaris extracts and Trichoderma spp. were prepared. The formulations maintained the capacity of Trichoderma spp. to inhibit growth of the pathogen for up to 1 year when stored at both room temperature or at 7 °C. These formulations (3-day-old) were examined for biological control activities against late wilt disease of maize. Under greenhouse and field conditions, all treatments reduced late wilt incidence compared to the untreated control.

The genetic diversity Stromatinia cepivora causes a serious, fatal white of 11 provenances was assessed by RAPD-PCR and rot of cultivated Allium species, identified easily by was relatively small, making it a suitable biological the small black sclerotia produced on white hyphae control target. Pathogenicity trials subsequently used (Agrios 2005, Alexopoulos and Mims 1979). It is an five typical provenances in axenic conditions to test the imperfect fungus (Alexopoulos and Mims 1979) that potential of biological control by Stromatinia cepivora produces many tiny sclerotia (0.25–0.6 mm diameter) (Berk.)

  • Plant Biosecurity Report 2019-2020
    Plant Biosecurity Report 2019-2020 Bhutan Agriculture and Food Regulatory Authority (BAFRA) Ministry of Agriculture and Forests (MoAF) Thimphu i Introduction The plant biosecurity is gaining significance with expansion of global trade of agricultural commodities and transboundary movement of plant genetic resources. The catastrophic impact through intrusion of pest and disease like historical Irish famine caused by potato late blight introduced from Central America and Golden nematode of potato introduced to India in 1960s from the UK furnished vivid evident that introduction and establishment of quarantine pest affects the crop production and economy of the country (Khetarpal, R.K. and Gupta, K. 2007). Currently, International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) requires all contracting parties to establish National Plant Protection Organization (NPPO) and develop international cooperation in prevention of introduction and spread of regulated pest. In Australia, several area of major biosecurity concerns are new race of wheat stem rust, loss of pollination European honey bee services from parasite Varroa mite and disease, incursion of exotic fruit fly. Wheat stem rust epidemic in 1973 in Australia caused about $200-300 million and expected yield loss of more than 70 percent. Wheat stem rust, Ug99 is now only found in African countries and Middle East, although Ug99 is under control in Australia for more than 30 years, there is a potential threat to wheat industry as eradication and containment become difficult due to high mobility of the disease. The disease spread to larger distance by wind, movement of goods and people. Loss of European honey bees will severely impact fruits and vegetables as loss of pollination services can impact economy of the country which has annual contribution of $4-6 billion.

(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.

  • Effect of Inoculum Density of Stromatinia Cepivora on the Amount of White Rot Reduced by Trichoderma Species in Garlic I
    Elshahawy et al. Bulletin of the National Research Centre (2019) 43:27 Bulletin of the National https://doi.org/10.1186/s42269-019-0064-3 Research Centre RESEARCH Open Access Effect of inoculum density of Stromatinia cepivora on the amount of white rot reduced by Trichoderma species in garlic I. E. Elshahawy*, Nehal Saied, F. Abd-El-Kareem and A. Morsy Abstract Background: White rot, a garlic disease caused by the soil-borne fungus Stromatinia cepivora (Berk.) Whetzel, is a serious problem of garlic productions in Egypt. This study examines the potential of controlling the disease biologically by using three Trichoderma species, i.e., Trichoderma harzianum, Trichoderma koningii, and Trichoderma virens employed either alone or in combination. Results: In in vitro assays, three Trichoderma species, i.e., Trichoderma harzianum, Trichoderma koningii,and Trichoderma virens and tebuconazole, were compared for their ability to suppress S. cepivora isolate (Sc8). In greenhouse experiments, the chemical treatment was the most effective, with the lowest incidence of garlic white rot compared with the control. The antagonistic fungi tested either individually or in combination significantly reduced the incidence of white rot on garlic. In general, dual and triple combinations of the fungal isolates were more effective than these isolates used individually. The combination of the three Trichoderma species was the most effective treatment, decreasing disease incidence by 50.0% in 2016/2017 season and 40.0% in 2017/2018 season, respectively. The three Trichoderma species employed alone or in combinations and tebuconazole were evaluated under low and high disease pressures in field trials to determine which situation (s) provided the best control of garlic white rot.

Characterising plant pathogen communities and their environmental drivers at a national scale A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Lincoln University by Andreas Makiola Lincoln University, New Zealand 2019 General abstract Plant pathogens play a critical role for global food security, conservation of natural ecosystems and future resilience and sustainability of ecosystem services in general. Thus, it is crucial to understand the large-scale processes that shape plant pathogen communities. The recent drop in DNA sequencing costs offers, for the first time, the opportunity to study multiple plant pathogens simultaneously in their naturally occurring environment effectively at large scale. In this thesis, my aims were (1) to employ next-generation sequencing (NGS) based metabarcoding for the detection and identification of plant pathogens at the ecosystem scale in New Zealand, (2) to characterise plant pathogen communities, and (3) to determine the environmental drivers of these communities. First, I investigated the suitability of NGS for the detection, identification and quantification of plant pathogens using rust fungi as a model system.
