“…These two substances can form a systemic resistance induction, so that disease incidence decreases. It has been known that temperature supporting Note: *figures in the same column and follow by the same letter are not significantly different at LSD 5% , dat : days after treatments the development of disease is 25-35 0 C with humidity level of 86% [11], while the incubation period of R. solanacearum on potato varieties varies from 6.5-21.3 days [12]. Another reason is that because they produce antibiotic and siderophore, the two of which are induction resistance gens of tomato plants against R. solanacearum.…”

Ralstonia solanacearum is a tomato pathogen causing wilt disease which can lose crop production up to 100%. This problem also has economical impact to Indonesia, though controlling this pathogen has been done before. Biological control using endophytic bacteria is one of alternative control methods to support agriculture sustainability. The objective of these experiments are isolating endophytic bacteria taken from healthy tomato stems and root as well as investigating patogens as biocontrol agents of tomato bacterial wilt disease. Among 10 isolates found, only Ps1 and Ps8 can inhibit R. solanacearum based on antagonistic test in vitro using seed coat method and 4-7 mm inhibition zone forming. In vivo test was applied in green house in 30 days old of tomatoes using endophytic bacteria by the root soak technique. The result shows Ps1 and Ps8 within 15-16 days incubation period have suppressed 8.07%-9.19% pathogen attack.

Tomato - From Cultivation to Processing Technology

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Greenhouse technology is the technique of regulating the environmental factors for the benefit of the plant (tomato) under protective cultivation. Production of tomatoes in the greenhouse involves two stages: nursery and greenhouse. In the nursery, the plants are seeded in small cavities of the nursery tray and arranged in the nursery chamber or a small-sized tunnel where they are given maximum care. At 3–4 weeks after seeding, when they must have developed four true leaves and a well-developed root system, the seedlings are transplanted into the bigger tunnel. The transplants are given water through drip irrigation. The nutrients are supplied through fertigation in the required quantity and concentration. Pest control is done by integrated pest management system (a combination of physical, biological, and sometimes chemical control).

“…Otherwise, development of the disease is influenced by the environment are temperature was 34°C, humidity is 80%. Fajinmi and Fajinmi (2010) reported that temperature supports the development the wilt disease was 25-35°C with 86% humidity, so Purnawati and Nirwanto (2015) reported that the incubation period R. solanacearum on potato varieties was 6.5-21.3 days.…”

Wilt disease of Solanaceae caused by Ralstonia solanacearum reduce the crop quality and negatively affect the crop product. The objective of this research was to discover of endophytic bacteria formulation that effectively decreases bacterial which cause wilt disease on Solanaceae. The research consisted of purification of Ralstonia solanacearum, endophytic bacteria were obtained from the sample and the screening of endophytic bacteria using this following assay: antagonist assay, seedling assay and in planta assay. The results showed that in antagonist assay, the bacterial isolate code PS1, PS2, and PS8 could inhibit growth of R. solanacearum. From the seedling assay, it obtained that all of the isolates increased of percentage of germination, seed coating and powder formulation can decrease disease incidence of bacterial wilt disease.
