Patlıcanda Kurşuni Küf Hastalığı (Botrytis cinerea) Üzerine Bazı Bakteriyel İzolatların in vitro ve in vivo Koşullarda Biyolojik Mücadele Etkinliklerinin Araştırılması

Öz

Kurşuni küf etmeni Botrytis cinerea (teleomorph: Botryotinia fuckliana (de Barry) Whetzel) ekonomik öneme sahip birçok sebzede önemli verim kayıplarına neden olmaktadır. Verim kaybını azaltmak için mücadelede kimyasallar kullanılmaktadır. Kimyasalların bitki hastalıkları mücadelesinde yoğun şekilde kullanılması sonucu, insan sağlığı ve çevre olumsuz etkilenmektedir. Bundan dolayı son zamanlarda çevre dostu mücadele uygulamalarına ilgi giderek artmıştır. Bu uygulamalardan birisi de faydalı bakterilerin hastalıkların biyolojik mücadelesinde kullanılmasıdır. Bu çalışmada; 12 biyoajan bakteri izolatının (1 Bacillus cereus, 2 Bacillus megaterium, 2 Bacillus pumilus, 2 Bacillus subtilis, 1 Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki, 1 Paenibacillus polymyxa, 2 Pantoea agglomerans ve 1 Pseudomonas fluorescens) patlıcanda kurşuni küf hastalığına neden olan B. cinerea üzerine etkisi in vitro ve in vivo şartlarda belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. In vitro şartlarda en etkili izolatlardan olan Pseudomonas chlroraphis subsp. aureofaciens ve Bacillus amyloliquefaciens’in B. cinerea’ya karşı in vivo şartlarda da etkili olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak; en etkili bulunan 2 bakteri izolatının patlıcan yetiştiriciliğinde B. cinerea’nın biyolojik mücadelesinde biyokontrol ajanı olarak kullanılabileceği belirlenmiştir.

Investigation of the Biocontrol Effectiveness of Some Bacterial Strains on Eggplant Gray Mold Disease (Botrytis cinerea) in in vitro and in vivo conditions

Abstract

Gray mold agent Botrytis cinerea (teleomorph: Botryotinia fuckliana (de Barry) Whetzel) causes significant yield losses in many economically important vegetables. Chemicals are used in the control to reduce yield loss. As a result of the intensive use of chemicals in the control of plant diseases, human health and the environment are adversely affected. Therefore, interest in environmentally friendly control practices has increased recently. One such application is the use of benefical bacteria in the biological control of diseases. In this study; biocontrol potentials of 12 bioagent bacteria strains (1 Bacillus cereus, 2 Bacillus megaterium, 2 Bacillus pumilus, 2 Bacillus subtilis, 1 Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki, 1 Paenibacillus polymyxa, 2 Pantoea agglomerans and 1 Pseudomonas fluorescens) have been determined against gray mold disease agent B. cinerea on eggplant in vitro and in vivo. Pseudomonas chlororaphis supsp. aurofaciens and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, which were the most efficient strains found in vitro conditions, were also effective against B. cinerea in vivo. In conclusion, it was determined that two most effective bacterial strains could be used as a biocontrol agent in the biological control of B. cinerea in eggplant growing.
