“…Soil bioassays have been developed as tools to assess the risks of various soilborne plant pathogens of different crops, such as Pyrenochaeta terrestris in onion (Allium cepa; Siemer & Vaughan, 1971), Pythium aphanidermatum in potato (Solanum tuberosum; Stanghellini & Kronland, 1985), foot and root rot complex in pea (Pisum sativum; Oyarzun, 1993), Plasmodiophora brassicae in canola (Brassica napus and B. rapa; Wallenhammar, 1996), and V. dahliae in solanaceous crops (Nagtzaam et al, 1997). Soil bioassays have also been used to assess the resistance or tolerance of plant species and cultivars to soilborne plant pathogens (e.g., Hampson, 1992;Subramaniam et al, 2006).…”

Lessons from 10 years of stakeholder adoption of a soil bioassay for assessing the risk of spinach Fusarium wilt

et al. 2021

Although the maritime Pacific Northwest (PNW) is the only region of the United States suitable climatically for spinach seed production, the acidic soils are highly conducive to spinach Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. spinaciae. A soil bioassay developed to quantify the risk of spinach Fusarium wilt in fields has been offered to seed growers annually since 2010. Soil sampled from growers' fields each winter was planted with highly susceptible, moderately susceptible, and partially resistant spinach inbred lines, and the plants rated weekly to calculate a Fusarium wilt severity index (FWSI) and the area under the disease progress curve (AUDPC). Results for 147 soils tested from 2010 to 2013 have been published. This study examined results for an additional 248 soils tested from 2014 to 2019 with the bioassay modified to include an option of agricultural limestone amendment to the soils tested. FWSI and AUDPC were affected significantly (p < .001) by the main effects of soil and spinach inbred line, and the interaction of these factors. Correlation analyses showed a range in degree of association of FWSI and AUDPC with spinach seed crop rotation duration and soil properties, depending on the spinach inbred line (r = −.255 to –.267, n = 172 soils with characteristics suitable for correlation analyses). Stepwise regression models for 172 soils with relevant parameters for regression analyses identified spinach seed crop rotation interval, rate of agricultural limestone amendment, soil pH, and soil Fe, Mn, and Zn concentrations as most strongly associated with FWSI and AUDPC. However, the models accounted for ≤33.4% (R2) of the variability in Fusarium wilt risk. The soil bioassay remains a primary tool for spinach seed growers to select fields with low risk of Fusarium wilt.
