Description Not Available
Biological control of plant pathogens is
receiving increasing relevance, as compared to chemical
methods, as they are eco-friendly, economical and indirectly
improve plant quality and yield attributes. An
investigation was undertaken to evaluate the potential of
antagonistic cyanobacteria (Anabaena variabilis RPAN59
and A. oscillarioides RPAN69) fortified formulations for
suppressing damping off disease in tomato seedlings
challenged by the inoculation of a fungal consortium
(Pythium debaryanum, Fusarium oxysporum lycopersici,
Fusarium moniliforme and Rhizoctonia solani). Treatment
with A. variabilis amended formulations recorded
significantly higher plant growth parameters, than other
treatments, including biological control (Trichoderma formulation)
and chemical control (Thiram-Carbendazim).
The A. variabilis amended compost-vermiculite and
compost formulations exhibited 10–15 % lower disease
severity and 40–50 % higher values than chemical and
biological control treatments in terms of fresh weight and
height of the plants. In future, in depth analyses regarding
the mechanism involved in biocontrol by cyanobacteria
and evaluation of these formulations under field conditions
are proposed to be undertaken.
