“…The wilt can be observed in susceptible genotypes within 25 days after sowing in the field (designated "early wilt") [23,24]. However, symptoms are usually more visible in the early stages of flowering, 6 to 8 weeks after sowing and can also appear up to podding stage ("late wilt").…”

Fusarium Wilt Affecting Chickpea Crop

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) contributes 18% of the global production of grain legume and serves as an important source of dietary protein. An important decrease in cropping area and production has been recorded during the last two decades. Several biotic and abiotic constraints underlie this decrease. Despite the efforts deployed in breeding and selection of several chickpea varieties with high yield potential that are tolerant to diseases, the situation has remained the same for the last decade. Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris (Foc) is the major soil-borne fungus affecting chickpeas globally. Fusarium wilt epidemics can devastate crops and cause up to 100% loss in highly infested fields and under favorable conditions. To date, eight pathogenic races of Foc (races 0, 1A, 1B/C, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6) have been reported worldwide. The development of resistant cultivars is the most effective method to manage this disease and to contribute to stabilizing chickpea yields. Development of resistant varieties to fusarium wilt in different breeding programs is mainly based on conventional selection. This method is time-consuming and depends on inoculum load and specific environmental factors that influence disease development. The use of molecular tools offers great potential for chickpea improvement, specifically by identifying molecular markers closely linked to genes/QTLs controlling fusarium wilt.

“…El garbanzo (Cicer arietinum L.), es un cultivo de gran importancia en la alimentación mundial, debido a principalmente a su alto contenido de proteína [1]; siendo la segunda leguminosa más importante del mundo después del frijol [2]. Su principal productor y consumidor es la India, con una cosecha de 9,356,250 t en el ciclo 2013-2014, ocupando México el octavo lugar de producción, al aportar 190,803 t en ese mismo ciclo [3]; llevándose a cabo su producción principalmente en la zona Noroeste del país, que comprende a Sinaloa y Sonora [4], siendo Sinaloa el principal productor y exportador de garbanzo [5].…”

The chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is an important crop in the world. In this study, six strains of indigenous rhizosphere microorganisms (T442, T3241, 7A1, 751, HRG-050 y HRG-060) were characterized morphologically and biochemically through catalogs and API tests, and evaluated as growth promoters and biocontrol agents of F. oxysporum f. sp. ciceris (Foc), causal agent of Fusarium wilt of chickpea under laboratory and field conditions. Preliminary studies were performed in vitro, evaluating antagonism by PICR of Foc, in Petri dishes with PDA culture medium; the stimulation of germination was evaluated by seed inoculation with the same strains. In the field, chickpea seeds were inoculated with said antagonistic strains at a concentration of 1 × 10 8 ufc or conidia mL −1, establishing eight treatments: six based on the inoculation of seed with each antagonist strain, a chemical treatment (Benomyl) and a witness, in block design randomized complete, evaluating the protective effect and stimulatory in chickpea plants. The strains were characterized as Bacillus subtilis, Agrobacterium radiobacter, Pseudomonas sp., Trichoderma sp., and Bacillus megaterium, the latter with low percentage of identification. HRG-060 (Trichoderma sp.) and T442 (Bacillus subtilis) proved to be the best biocontrol agents in laboratory and field, as well as higher growth promoters, as significantly reduced growth of the pathogen and the incidence of the disease in the field, and increased the germination, greenness, biomass and yield of chickpea. The use of strains HRG-060 y T442 to control Fusarium wilt of chickpea may be possible in the conditions that have the central area of Sinaloa.

“…In addition, excessive use of fungicides creates an imbalance in the microbial community in soil . The use of microbial biocontrol agents is an alternative to fungicides for the management of plant disease because biological control is one of the most environmentally viable and health-friendly approaches for replacing fungicides in management programmes to control fungal pathogens (Li et al 2012;Jiménez-Díaz et al 2015). Numerous biocontrol agents have been reported to control Fusarium wilt of chickpea, such as Pseudomonas fluorescent (Anjaiah et al 2003), Trichoderma species (Dubey et al 2007;Moradi et al 2012) and Bacillus subtilis (Moradi et al 2012).…”

Abstract:In this study, about 112 isolates of Streptomyces were isolated from chickpea rhizospheric soils. Among the isolated strains, five showed strong inhibitory effects against chickpea Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris in vitro using plate assay and selected for further studies. The selected strains were identified as Streptomyces spp. based on morphological and biochemical characterization as well as 16S rDNA sequences analysis. Our results assigned them to strains related to genus of Streptomyces.In vitro, antagonistic effects of Streptomyces strains against the disease were evaluated through the dual-culture method, volatile and non-volatile metabolites, siderophore, protease and chitinase production. All bacterial strains inhibited mycelial growth of the pathogen ranging from 26 to 44.2% in dual culture assay. The non-volatile extract of five of the Streptomyces strains inhibited more than 50% growth of the pathogen, whereas volatile compounds were less effective on mycelial growth inhibition (20.2 to 33.4%). The ability of the biocontrol agents to produce siderophore and protease were varied, whereas, production of chitinase was detected for all strains. Results of the greenhouse assay indicated that all biocontrol agents reduced disease severity (ranging from 38.7 to 54.8%).Accordingly, strain KS62 showed higher control efficacy (54.8%). In addition, the biomass of chickpea plants (plant height and dry weight) significantly increased in plants treated with Streptomyces strains compared to non-bacterized control. The results of this study showed that it may be possible to manage chickpea Fusarium wilt disease effectively by using Streptomyces species, as biocontrol agents. Therefore, evaluating their efficiency under field conditions is needed.
