The Role of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) in the Control of Rhizoctonia Root Rot in Local Bean Genotypes of the Van Lake Basin

Abstract

Beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), one of the main vegetables common in the Van Lake Basin, are frequently grown in the region with local genotypes. Rhizoctonia solani root rot, an important soil-borne disease that negatively affects beans, especially in this region, causes economic losses in our country and worldwide. Therefore, a viable and eco-friendly alternative to chemical control in the treatment of such significant soil-borne plant diseases is the application of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF). This study aimed to investigate the effects of commercial AMF (ERS) and Funneliformis mosseae (Fm) against R.solani (Rs) root rot disease in V29 and TR 50763 (T71) bean genotypes obtained from Van-Gevaş. For this purpose, some plant growth parameters, total phenol, total antioxidant capacity, root colonization, and disease severity parameters were investigated. Fm and ERS significantly increased plant morphological parameters and reduced disease severity in both bean genotypes (V29 and T71) despite the R.solani inoculated pathogen. Furthermore, Fm was shown to be the most effective in plant growth among AMF treatments. ERS was the most effective treatment in total phenol concentration, antioxidant activity, and AMF root colonization. In general, it was observed that genotype T71 had a different effect on plant growth parameters and total antioxidant activity than V29. The study's results show that AMF, a sustainable agricultural technique, enhanced plant growth and reduced the damage caused by the important Rhizoctonia root rot disease in beans, regardless of genotype diversity. This study can be positively evaluated in the context of investigating sustainable agricultural measures against this disease in the field.

Van Gölü Havzası Yerel Fasulye Genotiplerinde Rhizoctonia Kök Çürüklüğünün Kontrolünde Arbusküler Mikorizal Fungus (AMF) un Rolü

Öz

Van Gölü Havzası'nda yaygın olan ana sebzelerden biri olan fasulye (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), bölgede yerel genotiplerle sıklıkla yetiştirilmektedir. Özellikle bu bölgede fasulyeyi olumsuz etkileyen toprak kökenli önemli bir hastalık olan Rhizoctonia solani kök çürüklüğü, ülkemizde ve dünya genelinde ekonomik kayıplara neden olmaktadır. Bu nedenle, bu tür önemli toprak kaynaklı bitki hastalıklarının tedavisinde kimyasal kontrole uygun ve çevre dostu bir alternatif, Arbusküler Mikorizal Fungusların (AMF) uygulanmasıdır. Bu çalışmada, Van-Gevaş'tan temin edilen V29 ve TR 50763 (T71) fasulye genotiplerinde R.solani (Rs) kök çürüklüğü hastalığına karşı ticari AMF (ERS) ve Funneliformis mosseae (Fm)'nin etkilerinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla, bazı bitki büyüme parametreleri, toplam fenol, toplam antioksidan kapasite, kök kolonizasyonu ve hastalık şiddeti parametreleri araştırılmıştır. Fm ve ERS, R.solani ile inokule patojene rağmen her iki fasulye genotipinde (V29 ve T71) bitki morfolojik parametrelerini önemli ölçüde artırmış ve hastalık şiddetini azaltmıştır. Ayrıca, Fm'nin AMF uygulamaları arasında bitki büyümesinde en etkili olduğu gösterilmiştir. ERS, toplam fenol konsantrasyonu, antioksidan aktivite ve AMF kök kolonizasyonunda en etkili uygulama olmuştur. Genel olarak, T71 genotipinin bitki büyüme parametreleri ve toplam antioksidan aktivitesi üzerinde V29'dan farklı bir etkiye sahip olduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Çalışmanın bulguları, sürdürülebilir bir tarım tekniği olan AMF'nin bitki büyümesini artırdığını ve genotip çeşitliliğinden bağımsız olarak fasulyede önemli Rhizoctonia kök çürüklüğü hastalığının neden olduğu zararı azalttığını göstermektedir. Bu çalışma, sahada bu hastalığa karşı sürdürülebilir tarımsal önlemlerin araştırılması bağlamında olumlu olarak değerlendirilebilir.
