Early blight caused by Alternaria solani is a severe constraint in potato production. The severity of this disease has been increasing day by day for last few years in India due to changes in weather. Disease severity and area under disease progress curve (AUDPC) was recorded in each treatment plot. The early blight disease had significant negative correlation with maximum relative humidity during 2012-13 and in year 2013-14 minimum temperature was significantly correlated. The severity of early blight showed significant positive correlation with maximum temperature and highly significant positive correlations with sun shine hours in year 2013-14 in all tested treatments. The study showed that minimum temperature and rainfall revealed negative but non-significant correlation in all treatments except untreated control in year 2012-13. The maximum tuber yield 223.70 and 222.00 q/ha in first and second years, respectively, were recorded with spray of Fenamidone @ 0.2% at disease initiation and 2nd spray of Mancozeb @ 0.25% followed by Mancozeb @ 0.25% at 15 days intervals in both respective years.

The addition of an appropriate adjuvant with foliar fungicide can significantly improve coverage, absorption, and efficacy. Laboratory and field studies evaluated coverage, absorption, and efficacy of commercial adjuvants with diverse chemistries on multiple host-pathogen systems. Organosilicone-based adjuvants improved coverage by 26 to 38% compared with a latex spreader-sticker and water. Significant crop by coverage interaction effects were also detected. The organosilicone/methylated seed oil-based adjuvant, Aero Dyne-Amic, significantly improved total [14C]azoxystrobin absorption on onion and potato by 30 and 21%, respectively, compared with water. The spreader-sticker, Bond, improved [14C]azoxystrobin absorption on onion and dry bean by 41 and 39%, respectively, compared with water. In experimental field plots, dry bean rust incidence was reduced by 52% when Kinetic or Latron AG-98 was added to maneb compared with maneb alone. The area under the potato early blight disease progress curve was reduced 29, 24, or 21% when Kinetic, Bond, or Latron AG-98 was added to maneb, respectively, compared with maneb applications alone.

The role of different meteorological parameters controlling the incidences of some diseases on tomato, guava and fig grown at Pune and Padegaon in Maharashtra state were studied by graphical superimposition and correlation techniques. Peak infestation of rust on fig was observed in January at Padegaon whereas maximum infestation of fruit canker on guava and early blight on tomato were reported respectively from September to first week of October and September to November at Pune. Increase in maximum temperature was found to increase the infestation of both fruit canker and early blight. Decrease in afternoon relative humidity favoured the infestation of fruit canker and rust. Fall of minimum temperature and rise in bright hours of sunshine also aggravated the incidences of fruit canker and rust respectively.

Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) genotypes evaluated for early blight [Alternaria solani (Ellis & Martin) Jones and Grout] resistance included five tolerant breeding lines, a susceptible cultivar, and seven hybrids among them. Three of the genotypes (`Castlejay', NC EBR-2, and 87B187) were crossed in a diallel mating design to estimate general combining ability and specific combining ability for the resistance trait. Parental, F1, F2, and backcross generations of the family Cl943 x `Castlejay' were evaluated for resistance and included in generation mean analysis. Hybrid means for area under the disease progress curve were not significantly different from respective midparent values, indicating additive genetic control. Diallel and generation mean analyses also detected significant additive genetic effects. Epistasis was present in the Cl943 × `Castlejay' family.

Heritability of resistance to early blight disease in potatoes (Solarium tuberosum L.) incited by Alternaria solani (En. & Martin) Ser. was estimated in tetraploid × diploid crosses. Susceptible tetraploid cultivars and breeding lines were the female parents. Diploids that produced a high proportion of first-division restitution (FDR) gametes and possessed different levels of early blight resistance were the male parents. Tubers from seedlings that resulted from the tetraploid × diploid crosses were planted in a field and artificially inoculated with spores of Alternaria solani. Resistance was measured as the slope (r) of the regression of the logit of the percent defoliation of each plant vs. time. Higher r values indicated lower resistance. Mean r values ranged from 0.123 to 0.157 for the tetraploid parents, and from 0.054 to 0.116 for the diploid parents. Mean r values for the tetraploid × diploid crosses were intermediate, ranging from 0.077 to 0.143. Narrow-sense heritability (h2) was 0.815. The partial correlation coefficient between r and mean maturity values was – 0.2086.

Abstract A novel strain of Bacillus isolated from rhizosphere has shown to be excellent biocontrol agents against various plant pathogens. In this study, a first report of a Bacillus strain NKMV-3 which effectively controlling Alternaria solani, which cause the Early Blight disease in tomato. Based on the cultural and molecular sequencing of 16S rRNA gene sequence, the identity of the strain was confirmed as Bacillus velezensis NKMV-3. The presence of the lipopeptide which are antibiotic synthesis genes namely Iturin C, Surfactin A, Fengycin B and D were confirmed through gene amplification. In addition, lipopetides was also confirmed through liquid chromatography. The extract showed inhibitory effect against A.solani in-vitro and detached tomato leaf assays. Bacillus velezensis strain NKMV-3 based formulations may provide an effective solution in controlling early blight disease in tomato and other crops.
