The effects of Nicotiana debneyi-derived resistance to black root rot disease were evaluated for yield, agronomic and quality traits by comparing the near isogenic cultivars AC Gayed (resistant) and Delgold (susceptible). Over 7 yr of trials the possession of resistance led to yields and economic returns that averaged 6 and 7% lower, respectively, than for the susceptible line.

AbstractWith the development of flue-cured and Burley tobacco culture in France, black root rot, caused by Chalaraelegans (Thielaviopsisbasicola), is becoming a problem. Since 1981 the Bergerac Tobacco Institute has studied the efficacy of new endotherapeutic fungicides of the triazole family. Among these, triadimenol was found to be the most effective. The treatment method consists of spraying tobacco plants with a triadimenolsolution 48 to 72 hours before transplanting. This method appears to be an economic and efficient means to control tobacco black root rot in the field. Treatment of young tobacco plants with triadimenol strongly stimulates rhizogenesis and this favours strengthening of the tobacco plants in the field.

AC Gayed is a flue-cured tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) cultivar bred at the Pest Management Research Centre of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. It is a a black root rot (Chalara elegans) resistant, backcross derivative of Delgold (ST205/PB19//*5 Delgold) (Pandeya and White 1984). The resistance gene originated from Nicotiana debneyi. AC Gayed is adapted to the tobacco production areas of Ontario. It has similar grade index, but slightly lower yield than Delgold when grown in disease-free conditions. Key words: Nicotiana tabacum, black root rot resistance, backcross
