Seeding Emergence

The effects of variable seeding depth and dates of seeding of barley on the incidence of root rot, and on emergence and grain yield were investigated in field trials at Saskatoon and Scott, Saskatchewan. The effect of variable seeding depth of barley on intensity of root rot, grain yield, loss of yield due to root rot, and the effect of variable seed size of barley on incidence of root rot and yield were also investigated in field trials at Lacombe, Alberta. Symptoms of common root rot, based on lesions on the subcrown internode, were not influenced by seed size or seeding date but the disease increased with depth of seeding. Grain yield decreased with depth and with late seeding. Emergence was not affected by seeding date but decreased with depth of seeding. Common root rot was not associated with the reduced yields of later seeding dates but was associated with reduced yields of increased seeding depths. The increased emergence and reduced disease at shallow depths resulted in a greater number of clean plants which probably accounts for some of the increased grain yield at shallow seeding depths.

Vertical aerial photographs were taken over commercial pea (Pisum sativum L.) fields in the Picton-Wellington region, Ontario, in 1975 (a drought year) and in 1976 (a non-drought year) using Kodak Aerochrome Infrared film 2443. Optical separations into black and white images were necessary to assist in delineating healthy crop boundaries from severe root rot- and drought-affected areas (37.14%) as well as void areas (5.29%) from 1975 photographs of 12 selected fields. In these fields, excluding the void areas, an estimated yield loss of 22.7% was calculated by multiplying the percentage of the affected area by an average yield loss conversion factor of 0.61 derived from all available data from greenhouse- and field-grown plants of several commercial pea cultivars.

ABSTRACT Root diseases represent one of the main reasons for yield loss in melon crops, especially root and stem rots caused by pathogens like the fungi Fusarium solani (Fs), Macrophomina phaseolina (Mp) and Rhizoctonia solani (Rs), frequently observed in muskmelon either alone or in combination. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the interaction between the pathogens Fs, Mp and Rs on the incidence and severity of root rot and muskmelon development. Two greenhouse experiments were performed using plastic pots with substrate infested with each pathogenic agent alone or in combination. The second experiment was conducted in the same pots that were used in the first experiment. In the first experiment, the disease incidence was higher for the treatment with Fs alone. In the second experiment, the disease incidence and severity were greater for treatment Fs + Rs than for Fs alone. Macrophomina phaseolina was the most commonly isolated pathogen when applied to the plants in a paired mixed inoculum (Fs + Mp and Mp + Rs) in the first experiment. In the second experiment, Fs was more prevalent than the other studied pathogens. Soil infested with Fs had the lowest fresh weight of muskmelon. The pathogens Fs and Mp were more competitive than Rs.

The Impact

Rhizoctonia solani causes seedling blight and root rot in lentil, which reduces plant populations and the vigour and yield of surviving plants. Factors in the seedling environment, such as inoculum density, temperature, seeding depth, seeding date, and fungicidal seed treatment were studied to determine the degree to which they affect the impact of R. solani on lentil seedlings. Survival of lentil plants was evaluated after planting into soil artificially inoculated with various concentrations of a highly aggressive isolate of R. solani (AG-4). Emergence, seedling survival and shoot dry matter production decreased with increasing inoculum density, but these declines varied with temperature. Low soil temperatures delayed the emergence of lentil seedlings in non-inoculated soil, but in inoculated soils, emergence was inhibited with increasing temperatures. Depth of seeding did not affect seedling establishment, but root rot severity increased with depth of seeding in a growth cabinet trial. Root nodulation was reduced as root rot severity increased. In field experiments carried out over 3 station years, seeding date had a substantial effect on seedling emergence and yield of inoculated treatments, but the trends were not consistent between sites. In field assessments of fungicide efficacy, treatment of seed with thiabendazole plus carbathiin (Crown) and carbathiin plus thiram (Vitaflo 280) improved seedling establishment relative to the inoculated control.

The Impact

Early seeding of lentil is necessary on the northern prairies to ensure that the crop has time to mature. However, planting into cold soils in spring results in slow germination, which may predispose seedlings to infection by soil-borne pathogens. In a controlled-environment study of the impact of temperature on infection of lentil seedlings (cv. Eston) byFusarium avenaceum, root rot symptoms were most severe at warm temperatures (20° to 27.5 °C) and declined in warmer or cooler soils. Field plots were seeded on three dates, which were spaced about 2 wk apart between early May and early June in four station years. Seedling emergence was most consistent and seed yield was highest in three of four sites at the second seeding date. Emergence and yield were substantially lower for the latest seeding date. Inoculation with F. avenaceum reduced establishment and seed yield. Seed treatment with Crown (thiabendazole and carbathiin) improved seedling survival, reduced root rot severity and increased seed yield relative to the inoculated control. Vitaflo-280 (thiram and carbathiin) also improved establishment and yield, but the effect was not as strong or consistent. Treatment with Raxil (tebuconazole) and Apron (metalaxyl) had no effect. The pathogenicity of aggressive isolates of F. avenaceum from lentil on a range of crop species was evaluated. All crops were susceptible to some degree, which indicates that the pathogen, once established, is likely to persist in a field for some time. This study demonstrated that early planting was required for maximum yield, that certain isolates of F. avenaceum were pathogenic on a wide range of hosts, and that seed treatment can be used to minimize losses from seedling blight and root rot in lentil.
