马铃薯种植是粮食安全和经济稳定的重要组成部分,特别是在发展中国家,但它在生产方面面临许多挑战,由土毒淋病(Pa)引起的黑腿病是危害马铃薯作物产量的主要原因之一。有效的管理策略对于控制这些损失和获得可持续的马铃薯作物产量至关重要。这项研究的重点是表征Pa并研究其管理的新化学选择。这项研究涉及对旁遮普省三个地区的系统调查,巴基斯坦(Khanewal,Okara,和木尔坦)收集表现出黑腿症状的样本。这些样品在实验室中进行分析,其中分离了革兰氏阴性细菌,并通过对Pa的生化和致病性测试进行了鉴定。DNA测序进一步证实了Pa菌株的这些分离株。测试了六种不同的化学物质以在不同浓度下在体外和体内控制黑腿问题。体外实验,Cordate表现出最高的功效,最大抑制区为17.139mm,其次是AirOne(13.778毫米),轮廓仪(10.167mm),蓝铜(7.7778毫米),点位固定(7.6689mm),和Strider(7.0667mm)。在体内,Cordate以14.76%的最低疾病发生率保持其有效性,其次是蓝铜(17.49%),AirOne(16.98%),现货修复(20.67%),分析器(21.45%),Strider(24.99%),对照组(43.00%)。结果强调了Cordate作为对抗Pa的最有效化学物质的潜力,为管理马铃薯黑腿病和提高整体生产力提供了有希望的作用。
Potato farming is a vital component of food security and the economic stability especially in the under developing countries but it faces many challenges in production, blackleg disease caused by Pectobacterium atrosepticum (Pa) is one of the main reason for damaging crop yield of the potato. Effective management strategies are essential to control these losses and to get sustainable potato crop yield. This study was focused on characterizing the Pa and the investigating new chemical options for its management. The research was involved a systematic survey across the three district of Punjab, Pakistan (Khanewal, Okara, and Multan) to collect samples exhibiting the black leg symptoms. These samples were analyzed in the laboratory where gram-negative bacteria were isolated and identified through biochemical and pathogenicity tests for Pa. DNA sequencing further confirmed these isolates of Pa strains. Six different chemicals were tested to control blackleg problem in both vitro and vivo at different concentrations. In vitro experiment, Cordate demonstrated the highest efficacy with a maximum inhibition zones of 17.139 mm, followed by Air One (13.778 mm), Profiler (10.167 mm), Blue Copper (7.7778 mm), Spot Fix (7.6689 mm), and Strider (7.0667 mm). In vivo, Cordate maintained its effectiveness with the lowest disease incidence of 14.76%, followed by Blue Copper (17.49%), Air One (16.98%), Spot Fix (20.67%), Profiler (21.45%), Strider (24.99%), and the control group (43.00%). The results highlight Cordate\'s potential as a most effective chemical against Pa, offering promising role for managing blackleg disease in potato and to improve overall productivity.
