Tuber rot is one of the important diseases in onion caused by Fusarium oxysporum. Endophytes are biological agents that are currently widely used in controlling plant diseases. Excessive use of pesticides and continuously has shown negative impacts such as resurgence, resistance to pests and pathogens, and the death of natural enemies. Currently, pests and pathogens control effort are directed at the utilization of natural enemies or better known as biological control. Endophyte is a microorganism that grows in plant tissues without causing symptoms. Endophytes allegedly capable of producing a variety of phytochemical compounds generated by their host. The leaves of Jatropha (Jatropha curcas L.) is one part of the plant that contains secondary metabolites.Phytochemical tests on the Jatropha show that Jatropha contains alkaloids, flavonoids, and saponins that are an antimicrobial potential of plant-pathogen control agents. This study aimed to determine the effect of some Endophytes isolates and their impact on the growth of F. oxysporum in vitro in onion.Exploration (endophyte isolation from Jatropha healthy leaves) and observation (antagonist test of Endophytes of the Jatropha leaves) method used in this study was a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with a single factor (10 treatment) repeated three times. There were 14 endophytes isolated from Jatropha leaves with a growth ratio of 4.5 cm/2 days. The best treatment to inhibit the growth of F. oxysporum in vitro is Jc5, Jc8, Jc10.

ABSTRACT Jatropha curcas L. is a plant species with many potential applications, especially medicinal uses (hypoglycemic, anti-inflammatory, haemostatic, healing, anti-tumor). The objective of this study was to test germination in moist paper rolls for whole seeds and in vitro for excised embryonic axes, in an attempt to identify the best method to assess the quality of J. curcas seed germplasm, cryopreserved with different water contents. The experimental sample with a 6.2% moisture content (MC) was divided in subsamples which were hydrated and dehydrated for 0 (control), 4, 8, 11 and 24h. The initial germination percentages were 63% for whole seeds and 81% for excised embryonic axes. After exposure to liquid nitrogen (LN), germination percentages were 48% (whole seeds) and 57% (excised embryonic axes). There was no significant difference between germination percentages in embryonic excised from seeds subjected or not subjected to freezing, with different MC. In contrast, there was a reduction of the whole seed germination percentage when exposed to LN (contrast = 0.17, standard error = 0.04, t = 4.09, p = 0.001) and not for the hydration and dehydration treatments. The methodology based on in vitro cultures of the embryonic axis isolated from seeds stored in LN with distinct MC values was more efficient than the standard germination test to evaluate the viability of J. curcas seeds before and after LN storage.

<p>The interest in using Jatropha curcas L. from the<br />family Euphorbiaceae for the production of biofuel is rapidly<br />growing. The research objective was to determine genetic<br />variation of several high yielding physic nuts based on their<br />morphology, agronomy, and isozyme characters. The<br />research used Completely Randomized Design with three<br />replications. The treatment was consisted of 8 genotypes i.e.<br />IP-1A, IP-1M, IP-2P, Lombok Timur, Lombok Tengah,<br />Lombok Barat, Sumbawa, and Bima. Analysis of isozyme of<br />the eight genotypes was also conducted according to 5<br />enzyme systems, i.e. peroksidase, esterase, aspartat<br />aminotransferase, malat dehidrogenase, and alcohol<br />dehidrogenase. Observation was done on qualitative and<br />quantitative characters as well as banding pattern derivedisozymes.<br />The results showed that genetic variation was low<br />when based on qualitative characters and isozyme (0-25%)<br />but relatively high when based on selected quantitative<br />characters analysis (17-81%). Analysis of combined<br />qualitative, quantitative, and isozyme characters still gave<br />low genetic variation (6-33%). Based on the quantitative<br />characters at similarity coefficient of 46% the genotypes can<br />be devided into three clusters. Improved population<br />genotypes, i.e. IP-1A, IP-1M, and IP-2P were placed in 3<br />different clusters, while other genotypes from NTB area<br />were grouped in the same cluster. Therefore, selection<br />among population of the same ecotype based on agronomic<br />characters such as yield components, yield and oil content<br />was suitable in Jatropha improvement, especially when<br />genetic variation was low. Furthermore, introduction,<br />mutation and crossing are suggested to increase genetic<br />variation of current Jatropha collection.</p>

The research was conducted in the year 2016 at the Entomology laboratory of the Department of Crop Protection, Bayero University Kano to assessed the bioactive effect of physic nut, Jatropha curcas L. leaf powder on Callosobruchus subinnotatus (Pic) infesting stored bambara nut, Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdcourt. The study was also aimed at comparing the effectiveness of the leaf powder with conventional chemical insecticide (pirimiphos-methyl). In a 2×2 factorial experiment, the leaf powder and pirimiphos-methyl were admixed with bambara nut seeds. The first factor (leaves) had two (2) levels (0.0 and 0.5 g/20 g seed) while the second factor (pirimipos-methyl) also had two levels, with and without the standard rate of application (0.00 and 0.01 g/20 g). These were laid out in a Completely Randomized Design and repeated three times. Results showed fumigant, repellant and contact effects were best exhibited in seeds treated with the leaf powder admixed at the rate of 0.5g, but was not significantly different from seeds treated with pirimiphos- methyl. In conclusion, appreciable level of protection on bambara nut seeds was achieved using the leaf powder of J. curcas applied at 0.5 g/20 g bambara nut seeds during storage.Keywords: Bioactive, Callosobruchus subinnotatus, bambara nut, Jatropha, fumugant

ABSTRACT Fusarium wilt, caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici, is one of the most important diseases of tomato crop in Brazil. Several alternatives to fungicides have been evaluated in search for products that control this disease and have low environmental impact and toxicity to living beings. In this context, the use of Trichoderma spp. is an alternative to agrochemicals, since they are bioregulators and antagonists of several phytopathogens. This work aimed to evaluate the antagonistic and mycoparasitory action of the Trichodermil 1306 biofungicide against F. oxysporum, and its action in the control of fusarium wilt in tomato seeds and seedlings. The biofungicide was used at concentrations of 0, 50, 100, and 150% of the dose recommended for application of 20 L with a backpack sprayer. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with five replications. Data were submitted to analysis of variance and mean compared by Tukey’s test at 5% probability. The 100% Trichodermil concentration was the most efficient for treating tomato seeds. Although this concentration did not show differences in relation to the lowest dose used (50%) in the tomato seed antagonism, mycoparasitism and F. oxysporum incidence tests were recommended because that the lowest concentration resulted in 18% lower root protrusion than that observed with 100% dosage. The in vitro antagonistic and mycoparasitory action of this biological fungicide indicates its potential in the control of fusarium wilt in tomato crops.
