Biological Control of Groundnut Root Rot in Farmer’s Field

Abstract: Groundnut is an important oilseed crop predominantly grown in Rajasthan, India and has suffered a 55 to 85 percent root rot disease caused by multiple pathogen complex mainly Aspergillus niger, Apergillus flavus, Sclerotium rolfsii, Thievaliopsis basicola, Rhizoctonia solani and Pythium aphanidermatum perennating in soil and seed. Trichoderma harzianum (Th3) was used against Groundnut varieties (GG-10, GG-20, M-13 and Local varieties) to reduce the yield loss by root rot disease during the year 2009 and 2010 i… Show more

“…Cottonseed (genus Gossypium) is a by-product of cotton ginning, and 16-17% of its weight is cottonseed oil (Bruinsma, 2003;Sharma et al, 2012;Gupta, 2016). Cotton is cultivated in 70 countries around the world.…”

“…Thus, it is urgent to explore new methods to control this disease ( Ploetz, 2015 ; Pegg et al, 2019 ). Biocontrol microbes have been successfully applied in controlling soil-borne diseases, including peanut root rot ( Sharma et al, 2012 ), Fusarium root rot in wheat ( Wang et al, 2015 ), cumin wilt ( Kumar et al, 2016 ), cucumber Fusarium wilt ( Luo et al, 2019 ), and pepper root rot ( Zhang et al, 2021 ). That provides new opportunities for FWB control.…”

“…Collar rot caused by the fungus Aspergillus niger is one of the most damaging pathogens, causing 10% global yield losses annually (Pande and Rao 2000). In India, the world's second-largest peanut producer, 55-85% losses have been reported in some years (Sharma et al 2012). With little genetic control available, the disease is mainly managed by fungicide application, although some models Trichoderma, Pseudomonas and Bacillus showed some efficacy in biocontrol studies (Podile and Kishore 2002;Yuttavanichakul et al 2012;Patel et al 2015a;Kumari et al 2017).…”
