The current research was conducted to find out the most appropriate concentrations of six fungicides for the management of sesame charcoal rot caused by Macrophomina phaseolina under lab and field conditions. The treatments viz. Antracol, Topsin-M, Mancozeb, Score, Topas, Nativo and Control with concentrations of 150, 250 and 350ppm were used with three replications under completely randomized design and randomized complete block design in Lab. and field conditions respectively. The mean colony growth of all treatments expressed that Nativo exhibited minimum colony growth of (0.93 cm) as compared to Score (1.14 cm), Topsin-M (1.42 cm), Mancozeb (1.77 cm), Antracol (2.04 cm), Topass (2.33 cm) correspondingly. The interaction between treatments and concentrations (T×C) showed that  used concentrations 150 ppm, 250 ppm and 350 ppm of Nativo abundantly inhibit fungal colony growth upto 1.26 cm, 0.86 cm and 0.66 cm respectively whereas the interaction between treatments and days expressed that after day ninth the minimum colony growth (1.23 cm) was observed for Nativo as compared to all other treatments. Similarly, the interaction between concentrations and days expressed highest fungal colony growth at concentration 150 ppm on day third (2.06 cm), sixth (3.02 cm) and ninth (3.65 cm) but the interaction of treatments, days and concentrations expressed that at 150 ppm concentration, all treatments exhibited minimum colony growth (1.70 to 3.30) cm at third, sixth and ninth day as compared to 250 and 350 ppm concentration respectively with respect to control (6.90 cm). In filed conditions, Nativo exhibited minimum Mean Disease Incidence (12.55%) whereas the interaction between treatments and days showed minimum of 14.95%, 12.82% and 9.90% disease incidence by Nativo as compared to all other treatments including control (66.86%, 77.57% and 87.22%) after day tenth, twenty and thirty. It was concluded that Nativo is significantly inhibiting the colony growth under lab and filed conditions.

First Report

Strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duchesne) is produced as an annual winter crop in raised, plastic-mulched beds on 2,800 ha in west central Florida. In December 2001, a grower submitted collapsed and dying strawberry plants from a commercial field to the University of Florida in Dover. The cut crowns of affected plants revealed dark brown necrotic areas on the margins and along the woody vascular ring. Macrophomina phaseolina was isolated from pieces of infected tissue cut aseptically from the crowns and placed on a medium containing 12 g of Difco potato dextrose broth, 17 g of Bacto agar, 250 mg of ampicillin, and 100 mg of streptomycin sulfate per liter of water. The fungus produced numerous, dark, oblong sclerotia in the isolation medium after 4 to 5 days incubation at 24°C under constant fluorescent lighting. In 10-day-old cultures, sclerotia ranged in size from 55 to 190 μm long by 50 to 135 μm wide (average 105 × 74 μm). Ostiolate pycnidia bearing relatively large, broadly ellipsoidal, hyaline conidia occasionally developed on the host tissue after 8 to 10 days of incubation (2). During the 2003-2004 season, M. phaseolina was isolated from dying strawberry plants taken from the original field and two additional farms. Affected plants were often found along field margins or other areas inadequately fumigated with methyl bromide. Two single-spore isolates from different fields were tested for pathogenicity on nursery runner plants (cv. Strawberry Festival) grown for 4 weeks in the greenhouse on artificial potting soil. The fungal isolates were grown on corn meal agar at 24°C for 4 days and allowed to colonize sterile wooden toothpicks placed on the medium for an additional 5 days. Prior to use, the toothpicks were sterilized by autoclaving twice in deionized water and a third time in V8 juice. Six plants were inoculated with each isolate by inserting a colonized toothpick into each crown. Sterile, V8-infused toothpicks were inserted into the crowns of corresponding control plants. The plants were incubated in a greenhouse in a randomized complete block design with two replicates of three plants each. After 3 days, 33 to 100% of the inoculated plants developed wilting in one or more leaves. All inoculated plants collapsed or died within 2 weeks of inoculation, while the control plants remained healthy during the observation period. The pathogen was readily reisolated from inoculated plants. Charcoal rot disease caused by M. phaseolina has been reported on strawberry in France, India, and Illinois (2,3). To our knowledge, this is the first report from Florida. M. phaseolina may be an emerging threat as the Florida strawberry industry transitions from methyl bromide to other fumigants in 2005.

Abstract Charcoal root rot. caused by the fungus Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi) Gold. (Sclerotium bataticola Taub.) is the most serious disease of pine seedlings in Florida nurseries and produces significant losses throughout the South. All major southern pine species are susceptible. In 1976, there was increasing evidence that pine seedlings from nurseries heavily infested with charcoal rot presented a problem to landowners because of costs incurred in replacing diseased seedlings and from loss of potential production in establishing plantings. The disease is most effectively controlled by fumigation of nursery soils with a mixture of 67 percent methyl bromide and 33 percent chloropicrin at 350 lb/acre (392 kg/ha) under 2 mil polyethylene covers. Rotation with charcoal rot-resistant green manure cover crops such as millet or rye is also recommended.

Rot Disease

Charcoal rot disease, caused by the fungus Macrophomina phaseolina, results in major economic losses in soybean production in southern USA. M. phaseolina has been proposed to use the toxin (-)-botryodiplodin in its root infection mechanism to create a necrotic zone in root tissue through which fungal hyphae can readily enter the plant. The majority (51.4%) of M. phaseolina isolates from plants with charcoal rot disease produced a wide range of (-)-botryodiplodin concentrations in a culture medium (0.14–6.11 µg/mL), 37.8% produced traces below the limit of quantification (0.01 µg/mL), and 10.8% produced no detectable (-)-botryodiplodin. Some culture media with traces or no (-)-botryodiplodin were nevertheless strongly phytotoxic in soybean leaf disc cultures, consistent with the production of another unidentified toxin(s). Widely ranging (-)-botryodiplodin levels (traces to 3.14 µg/g) were also observed in the roots, but not in the aerial parts, of soybean plants naturally infected with charcoal rot disease. This is the first report of (-)-botryodiplodin in plant tissues naturally infected with charcoal rot disease. No phaseolinone was detected in M. phaseolina culture media or naturally infected soybean tissues. These results are consistent with (-)-botryodiplodin playing a role in the pathology of some, but not all, M. phaseolina isolates from soybeans with charcoal rot disease in southern USA.

The increase in incidence of charcoal rot caused by Macrophomina phaseolina on soybeans (Glycine max) was followed four seasons in conventional and no-till cropping systems. In the 1997/98 and 2000/01 seasons, total precipitation between sowing and harvest reached 876.3 and 846.9 mm, respectively. For these seasons, disease incidence did not differ significantly between the no-till and conventional systems. In 1998/99 and 1999/00 precipitation totaled 689.9 and 478.3 mm, respectively. In 1998/99, in the no-till system, the disease incidence was 43.7% and 53.1% in the conventional system. In 1999/00 the final incidence was 68.7% and 81.2% for the no-till and conventional systems, respectively. For these two seasons, precipitation was lower than that required for soybean crops (840 mm), and the averages of disease incidence were significantly higher in the conventional system. The concentration of microsclerotia in soil samples was higher in samples collected in conventional system at 0 - 10 cm depth. However, analysis of microsclerotia in roots showed that in years with adequate rain no difference was detected. In dry years, however, roots from plants developed under the conventional system had significantly more microsclerotia. Because of the wide host range of M. phaseolina and the long survival times of the microsclerotia, crop rotation would probably have little benefit in reducing charcoal rot. Under these study conditions it may be a better alternative to suppress charcoal rot by using the no-till cropping system to conserve soil moisture and reduce disease progress.

Charcoal rot caused by Macrophomina phaseolina is a common disease of many crops including common bean and soybean. Incidence and severity of charcoal rot are enhanced when plants are drought stressed. Resistance to this pathogen in some common bean genotypes was associated with drought tolerance. Resistance to M. phaseolina among soybean genotypes has not been identified, although a few have been rated moderately resistant based on less root tissue colonization by this pathogen compared to other genotypes. A few soybean genotypes have been rated as slow-wilt or drought-tolerant. The reaction of drought-tolerant soybean to M. phaseolina compared to intolerant or drought-sensitive genotypes has not been determined. Our objective was to determine if there were differences in root colonization by M. phaseolina between drought-tolerant and drought-sensitive soybean genotypes. Drought tolerance of the soybean genotypes and root colonization by M. phaseolina at the R6 and R8 stages of growth were not related in this study. Some drought-tolerant soybean genotypes may resist root colonization by M. phaseolina, but our results suggest that this is not true for all drought-tolerant genotypes.
