“…There are many studies that show that by regular additions of good quality composts and the introduction of biocontrol agents the capacity of the soil to restrict pathogen activity can be greatly enforced (Hoitink and Boehm, 1999). Also for the control of Fusarium pathogens in asparagus promising results have been obtained (Blok et al, 1997;Elmer, 2004;He et al, 2002) and this is certainly a strategy that is worth to be developed further, in combination with BSD. …”

Bacillus subtilis B96-II is a broad-spectrum biological control strain. It effectively suppresses soil-borne fungal diseases in vegetables. A green fluorescence protein (GFP) was expressed in B96-II to detect migration of B96-II into the root and stem of asparagus. The GFP-tagged B96-II (B96-II-GFP) strain exhibited bright green fluorescence under a fluorescence microscope. GFP was stable and had no apparent effects on the growth of the strain. Asparagus plants were planted in the soil inoculated with B96-II-GFP. Our results showed that B96-II-GFP was detected in both the root and stem 15, 30, and 45 days after the asparagus seedlings were planted. B96-II-GFP was also detected in leaves but at a lower concentration. The highest concentration was detected in 15 days, and the number of bacteria decreased subsequently irrespective of duration of growth or sampling period. The highest concentration of B96-II-GFP was present in the root base suggesting that the root base served as the hub of bacterial migration from the soil to the stem.

“…The diseases are still difficult to control because no resistant cultivar or disinfesting method has been developed. On the other hand, biological control of Fusarium disease was tried by inoculation with nonpathogenic isolates of the Fusarium species (Blok et al, 1997;Elmer, 2004); however, the method is not enough for control and has no growth promoting effect.…”

Influence of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi [AMF, Glomus sp. R10 (Gr) and Gigaspora margarita (GM)] and sodium chloride (NaCl) on Fusarium root rot and antioxidative abilities in asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L., 'Welcome') plants was investigated. AMF plants accumulated higher dry weight of shoots than non-AMF plants with or without NaCl treatment during 16 weeks after AMF inoculation. Ten weeks after Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. asparagi (Foa, MAFF305556, N9-31, SUF1226, and SUF844) inoculation, the incidence and severity of Fusarium root rot were eased in AMF plants; most of the Gr plants showed lower severity than GM. In this case, a synergetic effect in disease suppression occurred in some of the AMF plants treated with NaCl. As for antioxidative ability, SOD activity of shoots and roots increased in most of the Gr plants in both NaCl-and non-treated plants 10 weeks after Foa inoculation. Gr plants had higher DPPH radical scavenging activity of shoots and roots than nonmycorrhizal plants with or without NaCl, especially 16 weeks after AMF inoculation. Ascorbic acid contents of shoots and roots increased in most of the Gr plants without NaCl treatment both 16 weeks after AMF and 10 weeks after Foa inoculation. From these findings, AMF induced a growth promotion effect and alleviation of Fusarium root rot in asparagus plants, and the synergetic effect of disease suppression could be expected by the combination use of AMF and NaCl. In addition, it supposed that changes in antioxidative ability might be associated with disease reduction in mycorrhizal asparagus plants.
