“…Application of conidial suspension of Penicillium oxalicum reduced the incidence of Fusarium wilt in watermelon and melon (De Cal et al, 2009). In our field experiments, application of Trichoderma reduced the incidence of wilt and the difference among the isolates was not significant (Table 2 and 3).…”

“…Antagonists (Fravel et al, 2005) as well as compost amendments (Boulter-Bitzer et al, 2006) have been used but with inconsistent results. Several organisms such as Penicillium oxalicum (De Cal et al, 2009), Paenibacillus polymyxa (Wu et al, 2009), Pseudomonas fluorescens, P. chlororaphis (Tziros et al, 2007) and species of Trichoderma (Pandey and Gupta, 2012) have been evaluated for Fusarium wilt suppression. Trichoderma species are soil inhabitants, competitive saprophytes, and facultative mycoparasites that can colonize the soil and rhizosphere (Harman et al, 2004).…”

Wilt of watermelon caused by Fusarium oxysporum. f.sp. niveum is one of the major constraints in watermelon production in coastal regions. In this study, twenty seven isolates of Trichoderma were evaluated for their ability to inhibit the pathogen growth. Talc formulations of four selected Trichoderma isolates were evaluated in the field. Incidence of wilt in the biocontrol treatments was less than 10 per cent in trial 1 and less than seven percent in trial 2 and less than four per cent in trial 3 during 2012-13 while control plot recorded 21 to 34 per cent incidence. During 2013-14, incidence of wilt was less than seven per cent in trial 1 and less than 15 percent in trial 2 in the biocontrol treatments while control plot recorded 19 and 28 per cent incidence. From the pooled data of all the five trials it was observed that 70 to 80 per cent reduction of wilt and 27 to 30 per cent increase in number of fruits in biocontrol treated plots over untreated control. From the study, it is concluded that seedling drench with talc formulation of Trichoderma reduced Fusarium wilt and increased yield in watermelon.

“…Therefore, it is likely that there will be greater reliance on the use of microorganisms as antagonists of plant pathogens in the future (Hall, 1995;De Cal, Sztejnberg, Sabuquillo, & Melgarejo, 2009). However, the spectrum of activity of microorganisms as biocontrol agents is usually narrower than that of chemical pesticides (Baker, 1991;Janisiewicz, 1996).…”

“…However, the spectrum of activity of microorganisms as biocontrol agents is usually narrower than that of chemical pesticides (Baker, 1991;Janisiewicz, 1996). In addition, the inconsistent performance of microorganisms in commercial agriculture has limited their use as agents for controlling plant pathogens (Backman, Wilson, & Murphy, 1997;De Cal et al 2009). …”

Antagonistic Activity of Pseudomonas Fluorescens Against Fusarium Oxysporum f. sp. Nievum Isolated from Soil Samples in Palestine

Watermelon is an important summer crop in Palestine, for several decades filling the needs of local market and some Arab countries. The yield of watermelon decreased dramatically in recent years due to severe infections with the soil borne fungal pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum (FON). Soil fumigation with methyl bromide was commonly applied by Palestinian farmers until it was recently legally banned. Different control mechanisms were not feasible to overcome problems caused by the disease resulting in decreased watermelon cultivation in Palestine for the past 30 years. In this work, we have experimentally shown that Pseudomonas fluorescens was efficient in controlling FON infection and allowing normal seedling growth of both the root and shoot systems. Field experiments are necessary to further confirm the efficacy of biocontrol application.

“…The major drawback of long term use of chemical pesticides and insecticides include, their non degradability nature, they accumulate in the environment and enter into the food chain in the ecosystem resulting in biomagnifications, many are proved to be carcinogenic, being a cause of environmental pollution, affect the soil microbial population and hence decreases the soil fertility (De Cal et al, 2009;Sharma et al,2016a;Carvaloh, 2017).…”

In the present study, eight different essential oils (Basil, Citronella, Neem, Turmeric, Eucalyptus, Pipermint, Palmarosa, Lemongrass) were tested for their antifungal activities against Aspergillus niger and Fusarium oxysporum. Result of the study revealed that all the tested essential oils showed fungicidal properties against these two test pathogens. Among the eight essential oils tested, Citronella oil showed maximum antifungal activities and this was followed by Lemongrass and Pipermint. The MIC value of the oils ranged from 0.97-500μl/ml. The Minimum Killing Time (MKT) of the oils varied from 0 min to 5hrs, at room temperature. Fungicidal activity of the oils retained even after treating at 100ºC for an hour and on autoclaving (121ºC and 15lb pressure for 20 min), which indicated thermostable and barostable nature of the active components in these oils. When the effect of commercially available synthetic fungicides were studied it was observed that both the pathogens were resistant to copper chloride 50% WP and Carbendazim 50% WP (upto 500 ppm) whereas, the essential oils killed the pathogens at a very lower concentrations and observed to be fungicidal in nature.
