Abstract:
Chili, renowned globally and deeply ingrained in various cultures. Regrettably, the onset of diseases instigated by pests and pathogens has inflicted substantial losses on chili crops, with some farms experiencing complete production decimation. Challenges confronting chili cultivation include threats from pathogenic microbes like Xanthomonas, Fusarium, Phytophthora, Verticillium, Rhizoctonia, Colletotrichium and Viruses, alongside pests such as whiteflies, mites, thrips, aphids, and fruit flies. While conventional farming practices often resort to chemical pesticides to combat these challenges, their utilization poses substantial risks to both human health and the environment. In response to this pressing issue, this review aims to evaluate the potential of microbe-based biological control as eco-friendly alternatives to chemical pesticides for chili cultivation. Biocontrol agents such as Bacillus spp., Trichoderma spp., and entomopathogenic fungi present safer and more environmentally sustainable alternatives to chemical pesticides. However, despite the recognised potential of biocontrol agents, research on their efficacy in controlling the array of pests and pathogens affecting chili farming remains limited. This review addresses this gap by evaluating the efficiency of biocontrol agents, drawing insights from existing studies conducted in other crop systems, regarding pest and pathogen management. Notably, an analysis of Scopus publications revealed fewer than 30 publications in 2023 focused on these three microbial agents. Intriguingly, India, as the world\'s largest chili producer, leads in the number of publications concerning Bacillus spp., Trichoderma spp., and entomopathogenic fungi in chili cultivation. Further research on microbial agents is imperative to mitigate infections and reduce reliance on chemical pesticides for sustainable chili production.
摘要:
Chili,享誉全球,在各种文化中根深蒂固。遗憾的是,害虫和病原体引起的疾病的发作给辣椒作物造成了重大损失,一些农场经历了完全的产量削减。辣椒种植面临的挑战包括来自黄单胞菌等病原微生物的威胁,镰刀菌,疫霉,黄萎病菌,根瘤菌,Colletotrichium和病毒,除了害虫,如粉虱,螨虫,蓟马,蚜虫,果蝇虽然传统的农业实践经常诉诸化学农药来应对这些挑战,它们的使用对人类健康和环境都构成了巨大的风险。为了应对这个紧迫的问题,这篇综述旨在评估基于微生物的生物防治作为辣椒种植化学农药的生态友好替代品的潜力。生物防治剂如芽孢杆菌属。,木霉属。,和昆虫病原真菌提供了更安全,更环境可持续的化学农药替代品。然而,尽管公认的生物防治剂的潜力,关于它们在控制影响辣椒种植的一系列害虫和病原体方面的功效的研究仍然有限。这篇综述通过评估生物防治剂的效率来解决这一差距,从其他作物系统中进行的现有研究中汲取见解,关于病虫害和病原体管理。值得注意的是,对Scopus出版物的分析显示,2023年只有不到30篇出版物专注于这三种微生物制剂。有趣的是,印度,作为世界上最大的辣椒生产商,有关芽孢杆菌属的出版物数量领先。,木霉属。,辣椒栽培中的昆虫病原真菌。对微生物制剂的进一步研究对于减轻感染和减少对化学农药的依赖以实现可持续的辣椒生产至关重要。
