DISCUSSION PAPER: "Biological control of brown rot disease of potato" by Dr. Zeiad Moussa (Bacterial diseases Research Department, Plant Pathology Institute, Agricultural Research Center, Giza, Egypt).
Available at: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/brd-potato/files/ (316 KB)
SUMMARY
The purpose of this seminar is to explain the biological control concept and brown rot disease of potato and different means of biological control of this disease and other diseases.
The brown rot disease of potato is worldwide disease that causes loss of potato production. This seminar shows the symptoms of this disease in above and under ground parts of potato plants. Also, it indicates the ways of infection. The causal pathogen is a gram-negative bacterium called Ralstonia solanacearum.
This seminar reveals the two strains of this bacterial pathogen, its races, biovars and its classification. The epidemiology of this disease is discussed.
The biological control of this disease is discussed in this seminar. The use of different bio agents (phages actinomycetes, essential oil, basidiomycetes, Organic amendments and plant residues) against R. solanacearum and other plant pathogens is discussed in this seminar.
The internet discussion welcomes participants to join the forum on a very wide range of methods in biological control of the disease. The background paper provides a review of methods through manipulation of the environment, host or use of antagonists, biological substances.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Major Research Experience:
1. Isolation, characterization and identification of bacteriophages.
2. Isolation and identification of bacterial plant pathogens.
3. Isolation, identification and study of actinomycetes.
4. Investigate the effect of oils and plant extracts on bacterial plant pathogens.
5. Investigate the effect of plant straw as bio-fertilizers and anti-microbial agents.
6. Use of the RAPD-PCR technique to fingerprint of bacteria.
7. Study the effect of bio-agent against plant pathogens under greenhouse and field conditions.
8. Study the effect of bio-agent against plant pathogens under greenhouse and field conditions.
9. Use of plant wastes as antimicrobial and fertilizers substances.
Author is a member in many scientific societies.
