- Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different nitrogen (N) rates on sheath blight (Rhizoctonia solani) development. Plants from rice cultivars BR-IRGA 409 and Labelle were grown in nutrient solution containing 0, 50 and 100 mM of N. Sheath blight progress on inoculated leaf sheaths was evaluated by measuring the relative lesión length at 48, 72, 96 and 120 hours after inoculation. Data was used to calculate the area under the relative lesión length progress curve (AURLLPC). The N concentration on leaf sheaths increased by 100 and 122% for cultivars Labelle and BR-IRGA 409, respectively, as the N rates increased from 0 to 100 mM. The AURLLPC increased by 17.6 and 23.6% for cultivars Labelle and BR-IRGA 409, respectively, as the N rates increased. The results suggest that a high concentration of N on leaf sheaths of plants from cultivars Labelle and BR-IRGA 409 favored sheath blight development., Este estudo objetivou avaliar o efeito de diferentes doses de nitrogênio (N) no desenvolvimento da queima da bainha do arroz (Rhizoctonia solani). Plantas de arroz das cultivares BR-IRGA 409 e Labelle foram crescidas em solução nutritiva contendo 0, 50 e 100 mM de N. O progresso da queima da bainha foi avaliado medindo-se o comprimento relativo da lesão às 48, 72, 96 e 120 horas após inoculação. Os dados foram usados para calcular a área abaixo da curva do progresso do comprimento relativo de lesão (AACPCRL). À medida que as doses de N aumentaram de 0 para 100 mM, a Concentração de N nas bainhas aumentou em 100 e 120% e a AACPCRL aumentou em 17,6 e 23,6% para as cultivares Labelle e BR-IRGA 409, respectivamente. Os resultados demonstraram que a alta concentração de N nas bainhas das plantas de arroz das cultivares Labelle e BR-IRGA 409 favoreceu o desenvolvimento da queima da bainha.

The aim of this trial was to evaluate silicon absorption and the effect of silicate slag application combined with triazole fungicide in control of brown eye leaf spot under greenhouse conditions, using coffee seedlings of the cultivar Catuaí Vermelho 144. A completely randomized 5x2 experimental design was used, with and without application of the fungicide tebuconazole, with eight replications. The mixtures (M) used on the soil were defined as based on the liming needs of the soil: M1- 0% de silicated slag (slag) and 100% limestone (lim); M2- 25% slag and 75% lim; M3-50% slag and 50% lim; M4- 75% slag and 25% lim; M5- 100% slag, with or without application of the fungicide tebuconazole. The fungicide tebuconazole (0.5 g of a.i./L) was applied on coffee seedlings through five pair of leaves. Twenty-four hours after fungicide application, each coffee seedling was inoculated with a conidial suspension of 2.0 x 105 /mL. The severity and the defoliation caused by disease were evaluated every five days from 20 to 45 days after inoculation. With the severity and defoliation data, the area under the brown eye spot disease progress curve (AUCPBES) and the area under the defoliation curve (AUCPDESF) were calculated. The application of increasing doses of silicate slag on the soil did not reduce AUCPBES and AUCPDESF, and no increase in Si content in the root, stem or leaf was observed. Tebuconazole reduced AUCPBES and AUCPDESF. Objetivou-se, neste ensaio avaliar a absorção de silício e o efeito da aplicação de escória silicatada combinada com fungicida triazol no controle da mancha de olho pardo em casa de vegetação, utilizando mudas de café da cultivar Catuaí Vermelho 144. O experimento seguiu o delineamento inteiramente casualizado 5x2 com e sem aplicação do fungicida tebuconazole, utilizando oito repetições. As misturas (M) utilizadas no solo foram definidos com base na necessidade decalagem do solo: M1-0% de escória silicatada (ESC) e 100% de calcário (CAL); M2 -25% ESC e 75% CAL; M3-50% ESC e 50% CAL; M4-75% ESC e CAL 25%; M5 -100% ESC com ou sem aplicação de fungicida tebuconazole. O fungicida tebuconazole (0,5 g de ia / L) foi aplicado em mudas de café com cinco pares de folhas. Vinte e quatro horas após a aplicação do fungicida, cada muda de café foi inoculada com uma suspensão de conídios de 2,0 x 105 mL-1. A severidade e a desfolha causada pela doença foram avaliadas a cada cinco dias dos 20 aos 45 dias após a inoculação. Com os dados de severidade e desfolha,foram calculadas a área abaixo da curva de progresso da severidade da mancha de olho pardo (AACPMOP) e a área abaixo da curva de progresso da desfolha (AACPDESF). A aplicação de doses crescentes de escória silicatada no solo não reduziu AUCPBES e a AUCPDESF e nenhum aumento no teor de Si na raíz, caule ou folha foi observado. O tebuconazole reduziu AUCPBES e AUCPDESF.

Fundação de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Minas Gerais The rot in post-harvest is a major problem in all regions where they cultivate strawberries in the country. Only limited information, regarding the causal agents and management strategies from rot of the field after harvest. Given these facts this study had two objectives: i-identify the pathogens involved in rot, in the post-harvest strawberries and II - study the effect of alternative strategies of control based on application of chitosan, calcium and silicon in the control of postharvest rot. Samples of the 200 fruit were collected monthly in chambers with temperature of 2 ° C over the period march 2009 to february 2010 to identify the pathogens involved in postharvest rots. The experiments to evaluate the effect of calcium chloride, potassium silicate and chitosan to control postharvest decay consisted of 18 treatments combining the products together in pre-harvest and postharvest treatments with chitosan. With the incidence data, was calculated the Area Under the Progress Curve Rot Total (AUPCRT) for Rhizopus stolonifer (AUPCRR) and Botrytis cinerea (AUPCRB). Was identified 14 different fungi causing postharvest rot of strawberry with damage: B. cinerea (36,3%), R. stolonifer (34,9%), G. candidum (31,1%), Pilidium concavum (17,4%), Colletotrichum spp. (13,7%), Pestalotia longisetula (2,3%), A. niger (1,7%), Phoma sp. (2%) e Mucor sp., Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Cylindrocladium candelabrum, Penicillium sp., Cladosporium sp. e Aspergillus sp. (2,8%). The fungi G. candidum, P. concavum, C.candelabrum, Penicillium sp., A. niger, Aspergillus sp., Phoma sp., Mucor sp. e Cladosporium sp. were first identified as postharvest pathogens on strawberry in Brazil. The incidence of fungi was variable throughout the year, the most frequent cause rot in strawberry fruits B. cinerea, R. stolonifer and G. candidum, P. concavum and Colletotrichum spp . The damage caused by R. stolonifer and G. candidum were higher during periods of precipitation above 74 mm and an average temperature of 20.1 oC, periods of rainfall below 34 mm and an average temperature of 16.8 oC, the damage of B. cinerea and P. concavum were lower. No effect of applications of calcium, potassium silicate and chitosan in the field, on the production of strawberry plants. There was also no effect of these products in the field on the incidence of post-harvest rots. When stored at a temperature of 2 ° C and subjected to chitosan treatment in postharvest AUPCRT reduced by 91% in the cultivar 'Oso Grande' and 52% in cultivar Camarosa and 91% and 55% of AUPCRB cultivars 'Oso Grande' and Camarosa respectively. When stored at 25 ° C was observed reduction in AUPCRT of 17%, and in AUPCRR of the 44% in the cultivar 'Oso Grande' similar to that observed in Camarosa with reduction of 17.3% and 53% of AUPCRT and AUPCRR. No decrease was observed in AACPPB fruits of both cultivars stored at 25 ° C. As podridões em pós-colheita são um dos principais problemas, em todas as regiões onde se cultiva o morango no país. São escassas as informações, a respeito dos agentes causais, bem como as estratégias de manejo das podridões do campo à póscolheita. Diante desses fatos este trabalho teve os seguintes objetivos: i- identificar os patógenos, envolvidos em podridões, na fase de pós-colheita de morango, e ii - estudar o efeito de estratégias alternativas de controle, baseando-se na aplicação de quitosana, cálcio e silício, no controle de podridões em pós-colheita. Amostras de 200 frutos foram coletados mensalmente, em câmaras com temperatura de 2 oC, no período de março de 2009 a fevereiro de 2010, para identificar os patógenos envolvidos em podridões em pós-colheita. Os experimentos visando avaliar o efeito de cloreto de cálcio, silicato de potássio e da quitosana, no controle de podridões em pós-colheita foram constituídos de 18 tratamentos combinando-se os produtos entre si em pré-colheita e com tratamentos em pós-colheita com quitosana. Com os dados de incidência, calculou-se a Área Abaixo da Curva de Progresso de Podridão Total (AACPPT), para Rhizopus stolonifer (AACPPR) e para Botrytis cinerea (AACPPB). Foram identificados 14 diferentes fungos causando podridões em pós-colheita de morango com danos de: B. cinerea (36,3%), R. stolonifer (34,9%), G. candidum (31,1%), Pilidium concavum (17,4%), Colletotrichum spp. (13,7%), Pestalotia longisetula (2,3%), A. niger (1,7%), Phoma sp. (2%) e Mucor sp., Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Cylindrocladium candelabrum, Penicillium sp., Cladosporium sp. e Aspergillus sp. (2,8%). Os fungos G. candidum, P. concavum, C.candelabrum, Penicillium sp., A. niger, Aspergillus sp., Phoma sp., Mucor sp. e Cladosporium sp. foram identificados pela primeira vez, como patógenos em póscolheita na cultura do morango, no Brasil. A incidência dos fungos foi variável ao longo do ano, sendo os mais freqüentes causando podridões em frutos de morango B. cinerea, R. stolonifer e G. candidum, P. concavum e Colletotricum spp.. Os danos causados por R. stolonifer e G. candidum foram maiores em épocas de precipitação acima de 74 mm e temperatura média de 20,1 oC; épocas de precipitação abaixo de 34 mm e temperatura média de 16,8 oC, os danos de B. cinerea e P. concavum foram menores. Não houve efeito das aplicações de cálcio, silicato de potássio e quitosana no campo, sobre a produção de plantas de morangueiro. Também não houve efeito da aplicação destes produtos no campo sobre a incidência de podridões em pós-colheita. Quando frutos foram armazenados a temperatura de 2 oC e submetidos a aplicação de quitosana, em pós-colheita houve redução da AACPPT em 91% na cultivar Oso grande e 52% na cultivar Camarosa e de 91% e 55% da AACPPB nas cultivares Oso grande e Camarosa respectivamente. Quando os frutos foram armazenados a 25 oC observou-se redução da AACPPT de 17%, e da AACPPR de 44% na cultivar Oso Grande semelhante ao observado na cultivar Camarosa com redução de 17,3% na AACPPT e 53% na AACPPR. Não se observou redução na AACPPB em frutos das duas cultivares armazenadas a 25 oC.

A produção da soja pode ser afetada pela ocorrência de várias doenças. Dentre estas, a ferrugem, causada pelo fungo Phakopsora pachyrhizi, tem se destacado. Atualmente, novas estratégias de controle para essa doença devem ser pesquisadas. Assim, este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a eficiência do silicato de potássio (KSi), acibenzolar-S-metil e fungicidas no controle da ferrugem da soja. Um experimento foi conduzido em condições de campo, em delineamento em blocos ao acaso, utilizando-se 10 tratamentos, com três repetições. Foi utilizada a cultivar 'Monarca' por ser suscetível à ferrugem. Os tratamentos utilizados foram: T1 - testemunha (pulverização com água); T2 - KSi (1,2kg ha-1); T3 - KSi (2,4kg ha-1); T4 - KSi (3,6kg ha-1); T5 - KSi (4,8kg ha-1); T6 - tebuconazole (125g de i.a. ha-1); T7 - cloreto de potássio (61,72g L-1); T8 - mancozebe (2400g de i.a. ha-1); T9 - mancozebe (2400g de i.a. ha-1) + KSi (1,2kg ha-1) e T10 - acibenzolar-S-metil (125g de i.a. ha-1). As plantas da bordadura foram inoculadas com uma suspensão de 5x10(5) uredosporos mL-1 no estádio V4 para constituírem fonte de inóculo, para as parcelas centrais. As plantas foram pulverizadas com os produtos que constituíram os tratamentos T2, T3, T4, T5, T7, T8 e T9 nos estádios V5, R1, R4 e R5.4 e os tratamentos T6 e T10 nos estádios R1, R4 e R5.4. As plantas foram pulverizadas com atomizador costal manual de bico cônico empregando-se um volume de calda de 200L ha-1. Foram realizadas cinco avaliações da severidade da ferrugem nos terços inferior, médio e superior das plantas utilizando-se uma escala diagramática variando de 0,6 a 78,5%, e os dados obtidos foram utilizados para calcular a área abaixo da curva do progresso da ferrugem (AACPF). Não houve efeito significativo das doses de KSi na AACPF e severidade máxima (Ymax) nos terços inferior, médio e superior das plantas, além da produtividade. Os tratamentos 8, 9 e 10 apresentaram eficiência intermediária no controle da ferrugem. O tratamento 6 foi o mais eficiente no controle da doença por resultar nos menores valores da AACPF e Ymax para os terços inferior, médio e superior, além de uma produtividade significativamente maior em relação aos demais tratamentos. Soybean production can be affected by the occurrence of several diseases. Among them, the rust, caused by the fungus Phakopsora pachyrhizi, has been outstanding. Nowadays, new strategies to control soybean rust need to be searched. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of potassium silicate (KSi), acibenzolar-S-methyl and some fungicides on the control of soybean rust. An experiment was carried out under field conditions in a randomized complete block design with 10 treatments and three replications. The cultivar 'Monarca' was used because it is susceptible to rust. The treatments used were: T1 - control (plants sprayed with water); T2 - KSi (1.2kg ha-1); T3 - KSi (2.4kg ha-1); T4 - KSi (3.6kg ha-1); T5 - KSi (4.8kg ha-1); T6 - tebuconazol (125g de a.i. ha-1); T7 - potassium cloride (61.72g L-1); T8 - mancozeb (2400g de a.i. ha-1); T9 - mancozeb (2400g de a.i. ha-1) + KSi (1.2kg ha-1) and T10 - acibenzolar-S-methyl (125g de a.i. ha-1). Plants from the two lateral lines were inoculated with a suspension of 5x10(5) uredospores/mL at the V4 growth stage to produce inoculum to infect plants at the two central lines. Plants were sprayed with the products that constituted the treatments T2, T3, T4, T5, T7, T8, and T9 at V5, R1, R4, and R5.4 growth stages; and the treatments T6 and T10 at R1, R4, and R5.4 growth stages. Plants were sprayed using a costal sprayer in a volume of 200L ha-1. A total of five disease severity evaluations at the low, medium and high part of the plant canopy were done using a diagrammatic scale ranging from 0.6 to 78.5%. Data were used to calculate the area under rust progress curve (AURPC). There was no effect of the KSi rates on AURPC and final disease severity (Ymax) at the low, medium and high part of the plant canopy. Yield was also unaffected. The treatments 8, 9, and 10 had an intermediary efficiency on rust control. The treatment 6 was the most efficient on rust control giving the lowest values for AURPC and Ymax for the low, medium and high part of the plant canopy. High values for yield were also obtained using this treatment as compared to the others.

This study investigated the effect of potassium (K) on sheath blight ( Rhizoctonia solani) development on rice plants from cultivars BR- IRGA 409 and Labelle grown in nutrient solution containing 0, 50 and 100 m m of K. Sheath blight progress on inoculated sheaths was evaluated by measuring the relative lesion length at 48, 72, 96 and 120 h after inoculation (hai). Data were used to calculate the area under relative lesion length progress curve ( AURLLPC). The foliar K concentration on leaf sheaths tissue increased by 61.48 and 116.05% to cultivars BR- IRGA 409 and Labelle, respectively, as the K rates increased from 0 to 100 m m. A linear model best described the relationship between the AURLLPC and the K rates. The AURLLPC decreased by 29.2 and 21.3% for cultivars BR- IRGA 409 and Labelle, respectively, as the K rates in the nutrient solution increased. It can be concluded that high K concentration on leaf sheaths tissue was important to decrease sheath blight symptoms on rice leaf sheaths. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The occurrence of these leaf spots in commercial areas in the northeastern region of Brazil, mainly in the state of Pernambuco, and the absence of information demonstrate the need for further studies on these diseases. In this study, the effect of temperature and luminosity on conidial growing/germination was evaluated in vitro. The range of temperature that was favorable to the growth of P. vicosae was broader than P. henningsii. This is an intrinsic characteristic of the pathogen that allows the disease to develop in different seasons and growing regions. The percentage of germination of conidia was reduced in the presence of light for P. vicosae, whereas for P. henningsii the germination was similar both in the presence or absence of light. To better understand the behavior of the diseases, a comparative epidemiology of BLS and BliLS was performed in growing areas in the regions of the Agreste and Zona da Mata of Pernambuco. The results demonstrated that BLS occurs more frequently in the Agreste, whose temperatures are lower and the humidity is high. In the Zona da Mata, with higher temperatures during the evaluation period, there was predominance of BliLS. Levels of severity were highest in the lower leaves, and were correlated with the increase of the age of the plants. Defoliation occurred earlier in the Agreste than in Zona da Mata, reaching similar levels in both regions (25% in all growing areas). Both BLS and BliLS severity were reduced by application of the fungicide flutriafol, showing that the chemical control may be a strategy to control these leaf spots. In general, the results obtained in this study allow a better understanding of the epidemiology of BLS and BliLS, which are little studied diseases. The information may be useful in the development of management strategies aiming to reduce the damage caused by these diseases in the cassava crop. As manchas foliares são um dos principais problemas na cultura da mandioca, com destaque para a mancha parda (MP) e a queima das folhas (QF), causadas por Passalora henningsii e Passalora vicosae, respectivamente. A ocorrência destas manchas foliares em plantios comerciais na região Nordeste, particularmente no estado de Pernambuco, aliada à escassez de informações, demonstram a necessidade de estudos mais aprofundados acerca destas doenças. Neste trabalho foi realizado um estudo in vitro a fim de avaliar o efeito da temperatura e luminosidade sobre o crescimento/germinação dos conídios. Foi verificado que de P. vicosae apresenta uma faixa mais ampla de temperatura favorável ao seu crescimento, quando comparado à P. henningsii. Esta característica, intrínseca do patógeno, permite que a doença se desenvolva em diferentes épocas do ano e em diferentes regiões de cultivo. Além disso, foi verificado que conídios de P. vicosae apresentaram redução na porcentagem de germinação na presença de luz, enquanto para P. henningsii não houve qualquer influência, apresentando germinação similar tanto na presença quanto na ausência de luz. A fim de entender melhor o comportamento das doenças, foi realizado um estudo de epidemiologia comparativa da MP e QF em áreas de cultivo nas regiões do Agreste e Zona da Mata de Pernambuco. De modo geral, os resultados demonstraram a maior ocorrência de MP no Agreste, onde predominam temperaturas médias mais baixas e umidade elevada. Já na Zona da Mata, onde as temperaturas foram mais elevadas ao longo de todo o período de avaliação, houve predominância da QF. Para ambas as doenças, os maiores níveis de severidade foram observados nos estratos inferiores das plantas, estando correlacionados também com o aumento da idade das plantas. A desfolha ocorreu mais precocemente no Agreste do que na Zona da Mata, mas atingiu níveis similares em ambas as regiões, chegando a 25% em todas as áreas de cultivo analisadas. Tanto MP quanto QF foram reduzidas pela aplicação do fungicida flutriafol, mostrando que o controle químico pode ser uma estratégia de controle destas manchas foliares. De modo geral, os resultados obtidos neste estudo permitem o melhor entendimento da epidemiologia da MP e QF, que são doenças ainda pouco estudadas. As informações geradas poderão ser úteis no desenvolvimento de estratégias de manejo, que visem reduzir os danos causados por essas doenças na cultura da mandioca.

Thiabendazole and thiophanate-methyl (both belonging to methyl benzimidazole carbamate group - MBC) are common fungicides used in mango orchards in northeastern Brazil. There are no data available on the sensitivity to these fungicides, stability of sensitivity, molecular mechanisms of resistance and fitness-related variables on Botryosphaeriaceae to these fungicides. Thus, evaluate the sensitivity to fungicides thiophanate-methyl and thiabendazole in Botryosphaeriaceae isolates collected from different commercial mango orchards in the Brazilian Northeastern. Thus, the effective concentration that results in 50% of mycelial growth inhibition (EC50) of 154 isolates were established. Ten isolates with lower (sensitive, S) and high (less-sensitive, LS) values of EC50 values for thiabendazole and thiophanate-methyl were evaluated for sensitivity, stability of sensitivity, molecular mechanisms of resistance, components of fitness (mycelial growth rate, osmotic sensitivity and virulence) and effectiveness to disease control in mango fruits .The mean EC50 value for the LS isolates (2.48 μg ml-1) and (7.65 μg ml-1 was significantly higher (P≤0.05) than that for the S isolates (0.12 μg ml-1) and (0.05 μg ml-1) for thiabendazole and thiophanate-methyl, respectively. Despite this, no mutation was found in codon 198 of the β-tubulin gene when compared LS and S isolates. Significant and positive correlation (P0,05). O crescimento micelial in vitro e a agressividade em frutos de manga foram semelhantes (P>0,05) entre os isolados S e MS, considerando ambos os fungicidas. No entanto, os isolados MS apresentaram menor sensibilidade osmótica (P

Among the diseases affecting this crop, the brown spot, caused by the fungus Passalora henningsii (Allesch.) R. F. Castañeda & U. Braun, is one the main diseases. The high intensity of this leaf spot, observed in the state of Pernambuco, together with the scarcity of information, demonstrate the need of further studies on this disease. Thus, the objectives of this research were: i) to develop, validate and verify the applicability of two diagrammatic scales to quantify the severity of brown spot on leaves and leaflets of cassava; ii) to study the epidemy of the disease in different areas in the Pernambuco state. To elaborate the diagrammatic scales, cassava leaves showing symptoms of the disease were scanned and the severity value was calculated using the Assess software. Two scales were developed, one to leaves and another to leaflets, each containing eight levels of severity (0.1; 0.6; 1.5; 3.0; 6.0; 11.0; 16.0 and 24.0%). The diagrammatic scales were validated by untrained evaluators, and both produced more accurate and precise estimates of the severity of brown spot of cassava. To assess the seasonality of brown spot in the Pernambuco state, 12 areas of commercial cultivation were selected during the season 2015/2016. The incidence was evaluated by counting the number of diseased leaves and the severity was measured with the aid of diagrammatic scale previously elaborated. This study showed that the disease occurs in all areas evaluated in the Pernambuco state, being mainly related to precipitation. Furthermore, it was found that some cultivars were more susceptible to disease. A mandioca (Manihot esculenta Crantz) apresenta um importante papel na alimentação humana e animal, sendo a sexta cultura de maior produção no mundo. Dentre os problemas que afetam a cultura, destacam-se as manchas foliares, principalmente a mancha parda (MP), causada pelo fungo Passalora henningsii (Allesch.) R.F. Castañeda & U. Braun. A alta intensidade desta mancha foliar, observada no estado de Pernambuco, aliada à escassez de informações, demonstram a necessidade de estudos mais aprofundados acerca desta doença. Diante disso, os objetivos desta pesquisa foram: i) desenvolver, validar e verificar a aplicabilidade de duas escalas diagramáticas para quantificação da severidade da mancha parda em folhas e folíolos de mandioca; ii) estudar a epidemia da doença em diferentes áreas no Agreste de Pernambuco. Para elaborar as escalas diagramáticas, folhas de mandioca apresentando sintomas da doença foram digitalizadas e o valor de severidade calculado utilizando o software Assess. Foram desenvolvidas duas escalas, sendo uma para o folíolo central e outra para folha composta, cada uma contendo oito níveis de severidade (0,1; 0,6; 1,5; 3,0; 6,0; 11,0; 16,0 e 24,0%). As escalas foram validadas por avaliadores inexperientes, e verificou-se que ambas propiciaram estimativas mais acuradas e precisas da severidade da mancha parda. Para avaliar a sazonalidade da MP no Agreste de Pernambuco, foram selecionadas 12 áreas de cultivo comercial de mandioca durante a safra 2015/2016. A incidência foi avaliada pela contagem do número de folhas doentes e a severidade foi medida com o auxílio da escala de folha composta previamente elaborada. Este estudo mostrou que a doença ocorre em todas as áreas avaliadas no Agreste Meridional, estando relacionada principalmente com a precipitação. Além disso, foi verificado que algumas cultivares apresentam-se mais suscetíveis ao ataque do patógeno.

This study aimed to characterize isolates of the causal agent of damping-off and stem rotof beans in the rural area of Pernambuco State, using microsatellite markers and phylogenetic analysis; and evaluate the use of yeasts in the control of the causal agent of damping-off and stem rot of beans. In bean growing areas of the southern region of Pernambuco, there were collections of plants with symptoms of damping-off and stem rot. Thirty-four fungal isolates were identified as Rhizoctonia. In the phylogenetic analysis, the sequences of ITS rDNA region of isolates were similar to at least three anastomosis groups (AG4 HG-I, AG3-PT and AG4 HG-III). In microsatellite analysis, five sets of primers (TC_AG3_1, TC01, TC06, TC11 and TC_AG3_09) amplified a total of 13 bands, showing genetic variation. Seventy R. solani were evaluated for aggressiveness, being the isolate CMM-3643 selected to the biological control trials. Seventy yeast isolates were obtained from apparently asymptomatic bean plants. From these, were chosen only isolates where the disease severity index was ≤ 25%. Experimental tests showed that the three yeast isolates (C6A, FVF10 (R1), FVC10) were selected as promising biocontrol agents of damping-off and stem rot of cowpea (cv. IPA-207), being efficient in controlling the disease caused by isolated CMM -3643. Increases in the levels of POX and CAT enzymes by treating the seeds with FVF10 yeast (R1), as well as, the absence of antibiosis mechanisms suggests that the biocontrol mechanism in question is the induction of disease resistance. In view of the results it is concluded that the AG4 HG-I is the primary anastomosis group causing damping-off and stem rot of beans in the São João municipality, Pernambuco State. In addition, this is the first report of damping-off and stem rot symptoms reduction in cowpea seedlings due to the antagonistic action of yeasts against R. solani. A rizoctoniose, causada pelo fungo de solo Rhizoctonia solani, é considerada uma das doenças mais importantes do feijoeiro-comum (Phaseolus vulgaris) e do feijoeiro-caupi (Vigna unguiculata), sendo um dos fatores responsáveis pela baixa produtividade da cultura. O presente trabalho teve como objetivos: caracterizar isolados do agente causal da rizoctoniose do feijoeiro na região do agreste de Pernambuco, utilizando marcadores microssatélites e análise filogenética; e avaliar o uso de leveduras no controle do agente causal da rizoctoniose do feijoeiro. Em áreas de cultivo do feijoeiro da região do agreste meridional de Pernambuco, realizaram-se coletas de plantas com sintomas da rizoctoniose. Sendo obtidos 34 isolados fúngicos identificados como Rhizoctonia. Na análise filogenética, as sequências gênicas da região ITS do rDNA destes isolados foram similares a pelo menos três grupos de anastomose (AG4 HG-I, AG3-PT e AG4 HG-III). Na análise de microssatélites, cinco conjuntos de iniciadores (TC_AG3_1, TC01, TC06, TC_AG3_09 e TC11) amplificaram um total de 13 bandas, observando-se variação genética. Setenta isolados de R. solani foram avaliados quanto a agressividade, sendo selecionado o isolado CMM-3643 para o ensaio de controle biológico. Foram obtidos 70 isolados de leveduras de plantas de feijoeiro aparentemente assintomáticas, destes foram escolhidos os que proporcionaram índice de severidade da doença ≤ 25%. Ensaios experimentais demonstraram que os três isolados de leveduras (C6A, FVF10 (R1), FVC10) selecionados foram promissores como agentes de biocontrole da rizoctoniose do feijoeiro-caupi (cv. IPA-207), apresentando eficiência no controle da doença causada pelo isolado CMM-3643. Aumentos nos níveis das enzimas POX e CAT pelo tratamento das sementes com a levedura FVF10 (R1), assim como a ausência de mecanismos de antibiose, sugere que o mecanismo de biocontrole em questão é a indução de resistência da planta. Com base nas avaliações realizadas concluiu-se que o AG4 HG-I é o principal grupo de anastomose da rizoctoniose do feijoeiro no município de São João. Além disso, este é o primeiro relato da redução dos sintomas da rizoctoniose em plântulas de feijoeiro-caupi pela ação antagônica de leveduras sobre R. solani.

- Abstract
Strawberry ( Fragaria x ananassa ) is an important crop in the U.S., and Florida is the second major producer in the country. In January 2020, an unknown fruit rot was observed in two strawberry fields in Dover (seedling selection) and Plant City (cultivar Florida127), Florida. Disease incidence varied from less than 1% in one field to up to 15% in the second field during some harvests where over-ripe fruit were present. Affected fruit had a water-soaked soft rot with a sour smell, and sometimes with white mycelium on the fruit surface. Direct isolation was performed from symptomatic fruit from each area by touching the surface of a lesion with a sterile needle and streaking the fungus over general isolation medium (Amiri et al. 2018). The fungus was incubated at 25°C and 12-h photoperiod for five days. Four single-spore isolates (20-46 and 20-47 from Plant City; 20-49 and 20-50 from Dover) obtained from different colonies were grown on potato dextrose agar (PDA). Colonies were white to cream, flat, with a powdery surface, and had a characteristic sour odor. Hyphae were hyaline, septate, growing in a dichotomous pattern and often disarticulating into arthroconidia, which were unicellular, spherical to cylindrical, measuring 4.8 to 9.5 × 3.5 to 5.6 µm (n = 50). Based on the morphological characteristics, the fungus was identified as Geotrichum candidum (De Hoog et al. 1986). To confirm the identity of the isolates, the ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS-rDNA) and the translation elongation factor 1-alpha (TEF1-α) gene regions were amplified and sequenced using the primers ITS1/ITS4 (White et al. 1990), and EF1-728F/EF1-1567R (Carbone and Kohn 1999), respectively. Consensus sequences were deposited in the GenBank (accession numbers MT353975 to MT353978 for ITS-rDNA, and MT346367 to MT346370 for TEF1-α). The BLASTn analysis revealed 99% identity with reference sequences of G. candidum for ITS-rDNA (KU373122) and TEF1-α (MK397513). Phylogenetic analysis, including ITS sequences of G. candidum and other spp., obtained from GenBank, was performed using maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference methods, implemented in MEGA-X and MrBayes, respectively. The isolates were grouped within the G. candidum clade. The pathogenicity of the fungus (isolate 20-46) was evaluated in ripe and green strawberry fruit (cultivar Florida127). Non-wounded and superficially wounded (with a sterilized needle) fruit were inoculated with 20 µl of a spore suspension (1 × 10
7 spore/ml), prepared by washing the surface of a 5-day-old colony on PDA, with sterile deionized water (SDW) plus 0.01% (v/v) Tween 20. Wounded and non-wounded control fruit were treated with SDW. Fruit were maintained in moist containers at 25°C. Each treatment consisted of 12 fruit (three replicates, each containing four fruit) and was evaluated daily for 10 days. Symptoms of sour rot were visible as soon as 48 hr after inoculation, but only on ripe (100% incidence) and green (58% incidence) wounded fruit. Symptoms progressed to an intense water-soaking with the presence of a typical white mycelium on the surface. Control fruit remained symptomless. The fungus was successfully recovered from symptomatic fruit, fulfilling Koch's postulates. Although strawberry fruit rots caused by G. candidum have already been reported in Pakistan and China (Hussain et al. 2016; Ma et al. 2018), this is the first report of this species causing sour rot on strawberry in the U.S. The disease may be a minor problem on damaged or over-ripe fruit, but further studies might be needed to determine its importance, distribution, and potential strategies for control.- Published
