Tomato Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. is one of the most cultivated and widely consumed vegetables in the world. However, it is very susceptible to the infection initiated by Fusariumoxysporum fruit rot, which shortens post-harvest life and thus reduces market value. This disease can be regulated appropriately by the application of synthetic fungicides. However, chemical fungicides constitute a serious health risk, and have harmful environment effects and increase disease resistance, even when microbes are dead. Hence, to overcome this problem, chitosan and vanillin, which have antimicrobial bioactive properties against the growth of microorganisms, could be an alternative to disease control, while maintaining fruit quality and prolonging shelf life. The aim of this research was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of chitosan and vanillin towards the inoculate pathogen and to investigate the effect of chitosan and vanillin coating in vivo on Fusarium oxysporum fruit rot and defens...

Fusarium wilt in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.) caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici. Pathogen is notorious because of its adverse effect on plant growth with causing significant yields losses. Further complication is developing by raising issue of resistance in F. oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici particularly in developing countries due to injudicious fungicides applications in the field of tomato plant infected by this pathogen. F. oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici was isolated from collected infected samples from tomato field in Multan, southern Punjab on Potato dextrose medium by adopting poisoned food technique. Antifungal activity of different systemic fungicides viz. Pyrimethanil, Fludioxonil, Benlate, Bromuconazole, Fosetyl-Al, Flumorph, Prochloraz, Myclobutanil, Epoxiconazole, Strobilurin, carbendazim, Fentin hydroxide, Streptomycin, Tebuconazole, Iprobenfos and azoxystrobin were tested against F. oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici in vitro by using poisoned food technique...

Tomato is very significant and full of nutrition vegetable crop. It is enriched with vitamin a and C, lycopene, and protects from prostate cancer, cardiovascular diseases. Tomato wilt disease (TWD) caused by F. oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici (Fol) is a serious threat to tomato crop in Pakistan and spreading to those areas in which it was not previously present. The current research was planned to evaluate the fungi-toxic activity of fungicides against F. oxysporum in vitro and under greenhouse conditions. Four fungicides which include Carbendazim, Benomyl, Curzate and Nativo, at 500ppm, 750ppm and 1000ppm concentrations, were evaluated using food poison technique. The overall results showed that all fungicides significantly (P < 0.05) inhibited mycelial growth of F. oxysporum, however, Nativo proved to be best followed by Carbendazim, Benomyl at all concentrations. The reduction in colony growth of pathogen gradually increased by increasing the fungicide concentration. Two fungicide...

The tomato is one of the most popular vegetables farmed worldwide. One of the most harmful tomato disease is Fusarium wilt, which is a disease that the fungus Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici causes. Disease causes about 30% to 40% losses in yield. The poisoned food technique was used to assess the fungitoxic activity of the fungicides Blitox 50, Aliette, Roko, Amistar, Avtar, and Cabrio Top at the plant pathology department of the college of agriculture at LPU, Punjab, throughout the years 2021-2022. Six different fungicides were tested in the lab at various concentrations such as 50, 100, and 150 ppm. Thiophanate Methyl (Roko) show the best result in laboratory. Same fungicides were checked at field. Among this fungicides Copper Oxychloride (Blitox 50) shows the best result in field condition.

Tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum L.) are the most cultivated and important vegetable crop in the world. These plants can wilt during crop growth due to fusarium wilt (fusariosis), a disease that damages tomato vascular systems. The Fusarium isolated and analyzed in this work correspond to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. radicis-lycopersici. The isolates were molecularly identified, and analysis was done on the in vitro effects of the nanoemulsions (previously obtained from extracts of Chilean medicinal plants of the genera Psoralea and Escallonia) to inhibit mycelial and conidial germination of the isolates. Subsequently, the nanoemulsions were evaluated under greenhouse conditions for preventive control of fusariosis in the root and crown, with high levels of disease control observed using the highest concentrations of these nanoemulsions, at 250 and 500 ppm.

Potato crop is affected by numerous diseases in field, as well as in storage conditions, particularly in cold storage. Dry rot of potato is caused by Fusarium sp. Dry rot of seed tubers can reduce crop establishment by killing developing potato sprouts, and crop losses can be up to 25%, while more than 60% of tubers can be infected in storage. It is a rich source of energy, which supplement food source of a country. In this experiment, four systemic and four non-systemic fungicides were tested at different concentrations in vitro for their comparative efficacy against inhibition of the growth of Fusarium sp. through poisoned food technique. To manage these diseases effectively, different concentrations of fungicides were tested. Results revealed against Fusarium sp. that carbendazim and benomyl significantly inhibited the fungal growth even at its lower concentration (100 ppm) and proved statistically superior over the rest of the fungicides tested at different concentrations and am...

Plant Protection

Fungal attack on tomato is a serious problem in tomato growing areas. Among many fungal diseases, fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici cause a significant loss in yield. In the current study, the pathogen was isolated from an infected tomato plant and identified on the basis of morphological characteristics. Due to the harmful effect of fungicides, the present study was designed to adopt the alternative methods. For this purpose, four plant extracts viz; Syzygium aromaticum, Allium Sativum, Euclyptus globulus and Lantana camara and two bio-control agents (Trichoderma harzanium and Trichoderma viridi) were evaluated to check their antifungal activity against this pathogen. It was observed that all the plant extracts showed significant results. S. aromaticum was the most effective in control of F. oxysporum f. sp. Lycopersici followed by A. Sativum, E. globulus and L. camara. Both the bio-control agents inhibited the growth of fungus T. harzianum showed 42.60% growth inhibition and T. viride exhibited 36.69% growth inhibition. Application of plant extracts and bio-control agents are cost effective, easily available and eco-friendly for the management of fusarium wilt disease.

Long-term use of inorganic fertilizers on leafy vegetables can increase soil acidity, harmful to the environment and leaving bad effects on human health. Organic fertilizer application is one of the safer alternatives with many beneficial effects by supplying nutrients for plant growth, environmental-friendly and producing an optimum quality of vegetables. Different organic amendment such as vermicompost, biochar and microbial compost has different effect on plant growth performance since good bacteria could improve structure of the soil and nutrient absorption. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the effects of organic fertilizer on the growth performance and postharvest quality. The experimental design during planting was conducted in randomized completely block design with a factorial arrangement of treatmentswhile for postharvest quality study was conducted in completely randomized design. Organic fertilizer of vermicompost (110 g/plant), biochar (100 g/plant), microbial compost (80 g/plant) and chicken manure (37.5 g/plant) were treated on Pak choy two times on day 10 and day 24 after transplant. This research revealed the plant growth including plant height, leaf number and leaf length of Pak choy in all treatments were increased as growing stage increased. However, at the end of growing stage, microbial compost and vermicompost resulted in the highest of growth characteristics. In terms of postharvest quality, microbial compost showed the highest fresh weight and premium quality. This study proved that microbial compost at 80 g/plant exhibited optimum growth performance and the best postharvest quality of Pak choy.
