English ivy, Hedera helix L. (Araliaceae), an evergreen climbing vine is widely cultivated as an ornamental and foliage plant. In the summer of 2005, a severe blight of ivy plants trained as topiaries and grown in an open field was observed in a nursery near Giarre (eastern Sicily). Foliage of infected plants appeared lighter green and progressively turned bronze and withered. Eventually, the entire plant collapsed. Foliar symptoms were associated with basal stem and root rot. White, cottony mycelium and numerous sclerotia developed externally on the lower stem and on the soil around the affected plants. The disease was randomly distributed, affecting approximately 5% of plants in a stock of 1,500 English ivy plants. Sclerotium rolfsii Sacc. (teleomorph Athelia rolfsii (Curzi) Tu & Kimbrough) was consistently isolated from symptomatic basal stem tissues by disinfecting in 1% NaOCl and plating on potato dextrose agar (PDA) amended with 100 mg/liter of streptomycin sulfate. The isolated fungus was identified on the basis of morphological and cultural characteristics (2). On PDA, it produced a densely, floccose, white mycelium. Mycelium was septate with clamp connections at hyphal septa. Optimum growth temperature was 30 ± 2°C. Numerous small (0.5 to 1.9 mm in diameter) sclerotia developed on the colony surface; they were spherical, occasionally slightly ellipsoidal, quite uniform in size (modal value of the diameter 1.4 mm), with a smooth surface. The surface color of the sclerotia was initially white, turned to pinkish buff, then to olive-brown, and eventually to clove brown as sclerotia matured. Sclerotia were most numerous in the center as well as close to the edge of petri dishes. Pathogenicity of one isolate obtained from infected plants was confirmed by inoculating 10 1-year-old potted English ivy plants by placing mycelium-infested wheat kernels and sclerotia on the soil surface around the collar of each plant. Ten noninoculated plants served as control. Plants were held in a dew chamber for 48 h at 28°C and subsequently placed in a greenhouse where the temperature ranged between 25 and 31°C. Plants showed wilting within 3 weeks after inoculation. Fans of white mycelium and numerous sclerotia were produced on the basal stem of inoculated test plants. Noninoculated controls remained healthy. S. rolfsii was reisolated from infected plants to fulfill Koch's postulates. English ivy has been already reported as a host of S. rolfsii, the causative agent of southern blight in nurseries of ornamentals (1). However, to our knowledge, this is the first report of southern blight on English ivy in Italy. The disease may have been favored by warm summer temperatures and overwatering with a drip irrigation system. References: (1) A. R. Chase. Compendium of Ornamental Foliage Plant Diseases.

An experiment was established to determine the effect of different tillage practices, vegetable crop rotations, and pest management strategies on crop yield, plant diseases, pest and beneficial arthropods, weed species changes over time, and soil environmental consequences. This poster describes nitrogen movement from the various treatments over a 3-year rotation. The treatments are: 1) conventional tillage with chemically based IPM; 2) conventional tillage with biologically based IPM; 3) conservation tillage with chemically based IPM; 4) conservation tillage with biologically based IPM; and 5) conventional tillage with no fertilizer or pest management. Mid-season soil analyses with depth showed chemical-fertilized plowed and conservation-tilled treatments with more soil available nitrogen at most depths compared to the biological-based IPM systems (soybean meal was used as a nitrogen source). However, the biological-based systems did supply enough soil nitrogen to produce similar yield results as the chemical-based systems. Less soil nitrate was measured in the 30- to 90-cm depths at harvest from the biological-based systems than chemical-based systems. Conservation-tilled systems had greater nitrate with depth compared to conventional-tilled systems.

Nitrate-nitrogen (N) losses in surface drainage and runoff water from ornamental plant production areas can be considerable. In N-limited watersheds, discharge of N from production areas can have negative impacts on nontarget aquatic systems. This study monitored nitrate-N concentrations in production area drainage water originating from a foliage plant production area. Concentrations in drainage water were monitored during the transition from 100% reliance on fertigation using urea and nitrate-based soluble formulations (SF) to a nitrate-based controlled-release formulation (CRF). During the SF use period, nitrate-N concentrations ranged from 0.5 to 322.0 mg·L−1 with a median concentration of 31.2 mg·L−1. Conversely, nitrate-N concentrations during the controlled-release fertilization program ranged from 0 to 147.9 mg·L−1 with a median concentration of 0.9 mg·L−1. This project demonstrates that nitrate-N concentrations in drainage water during the CRF program were reduced by 94% to 97% at the 10th through 95th percentiles relative to the SF fertilization program. Nitrate-N concentrations in drainage water from foliage plant production areas can be reduced by using CRF fertilizer formulations relative to SF formulations/fertigation. Similar results should be expected for other similar containerized crops. Managers located within N-limited watersheds facing N water quality regulations should consider the use of CRF fertilizer formulations as a potential tool (in addition to appropriate application rates and irrigation management) for reducing production impacts on water quality.
