Item Selection of Clonostachys rosea isolates from Brazilian ecosystems effective in controlling Botrytis cinerea(Biological Control, 2005-08) Nobre, Sérgio A. M.; Maffia, Luiz Antônio; Mizubuti, Eduardo S. G.; Cota, Luciano Viana; Dias, Ana Paula S.Clonostachys spp. were isolated from soil samples, and living and dead leaves of different plant species. Twelve isolates which sporulated well when cultured on agar media were compared regarding the capacity of establishing and suppressing Botrytis cinerea in leaves of Rosa hybrida ‘Sandra,’ Fragaria × ananassa ‘Dover,’ Lycopersicon esculentum ‘Kada,’ and Eucalyptus globulus. The isolates established in leaves of each plant species, but leaf area with conidiophores (SFCA) varied with the stage of leaf development. In rose, SFCA varied from 3.0 to 13.9% on senescing leaves and 3.4 to 10.0% on green leaves. SFCA was higher in young leaves of E. globulus and tomato (1.4–15.6% and 1.4–8.0%, respectively) than on senescing leaves (0.8–3.5% and 1.0–5.2%, respectively). In strawberry, SFCA varied from 0.7 to 6.2% on completely expanded leaves. Clonostachys rosea isolates reduced B. cinerea sporulation on leaves of rose (81.0–97.4% reduction), strawberry (87.6–96.8%), E. globulus (63.7–89.7%), and tomato (100% reduction). Four isolates of C. rosea were selected based on high levels of SFCA and suppression of B. cinerea. When leaf discs of the four hosts inoculated with these C. rosea isolates were challenged with isolates of B. cinerea of variable levels of aggressiveness, SFCA and pathogen suppression varied with the combination. Efficiency of C. rosea isolates in suppressing sporulation of B. cinerea varied among hosts but was always above 80%. The four selected Brazilian isolates of C. rosea are potential biocontrol agents for Botrytis blight management in Brazilian agricultural systems.Item Isolation and selection of Hemileia vastatrix antagonists(European Journal of Plant Pathology, 2014-04-21) Haddad, Fernando; Saraiva, Rodrigo M.; Mizubuti, Eduardo S. G.; Romeiro, Reginaldo S.; Maffia, Luiz A.Organic coffee growing is rapidly increasing in Brazil, and many diseases, especially coffee leaf rust (Hemileia vastatrix), are threatening its production. This study is a first step towards a biocontrol program for coffee rust on organically grown plants. In three organic coffee farms in the state of Minas Gerais, 393 microbial strains including 154 bacterial and 239 fungal strains were isolated from leaves, leaf debris, and soil samples, and in 6 month-old coffee plants, 17 of these isolates reduced both the infection frequency (IF) and the number of H. vastatrix urediniospores produced per leaf (UPL) by more than 70 %. The isolates were identified as eight bacteria isolates, seven Bacillus spp. and one Pseudomonas sp., and nine fungal isolates, four Fusarium spp., two Penicillium spp., one Aspergillus sp., one Acremonium sp. and one Cladosporium sp. Each fungal and bacterial isolate was applied 0, 4, 8, 12 or 16 days before and 0, 4, 8, 12 or 16 days after H. vastatrix inoculation, and the efficiency in reducing both IF and UPL was evaluated. The efficiency was higher and lasted longer when the bacterial isolates were applied before H. vastatrix inoculation. Six Bacillus (B10, B25, B143, B157, B171, B175), two Fusarium (F205, F281), and one Pseudomonas (B286) isolates are potentially efficient as biocontrol agents of H. vastatrix and will be tested using field experiments.Item Biocontrol of tomato late blight with the combination of epiphytic antagonists and rhizobacteria(Biological Control, 2006-09) Lourenço Júnior, Valdir; Maffia, Luiz A.; Romeiro, Reginaldo da Silva; Mizubuti, Eduardo S. G.Control of tomato late blight (LB) in Brazil is heavily based on chemicals. However, reduction in fungicide usage is required in both conventional and organic production systems. Assuming that biological control is an alternative for LB management, 208 epiphytic microorganisms and 23 rhizobacteria (RB) were isolated from conventional and organically grown tomato plants and tested for antagonistic activity against Phytophthora infestans. Based on in vitro inhibition of sporangia germination and detached leaflet bioassays, four EP microorganisms (Aspergillus sp., Cellulomonas flavigena, Candida sp., and Cryptococcus sp.) were selected. These microorganisms were applied either singly or combined on tomato plants treated or not with the RB Bacillus cereus. On control plants, LB progress rate (r), area under disease progress curve, and final disease severity were high. Lowest values of final severity were recorded on plants colonized by B. cereus and treated with C. flavigena, Candida sp. and Cryptococcus sp. There was no reduction on disease severity in plants treated only with RB. Biological control of LB resulted in low values of r and final severity. Integration of biological control with fungicides, cultural practices, and other measures can contribute to manage LB on tomato production systems.
