Extractions: Geneva, NY 14456 Trichoderma In my laboratory, we have been developing technology for the biocontrol of plant pathogens for about two decades. This paper will briefly discuss this effort, and the progress from basic research to products now available commercially. Our early work demonstrated that Trichoderma systems A highly effective biocontrol strain or other material must be obtained or produced. Such strains must not only have appropriate mechanisms for biocontrol Pythium Rhizoctonia solani Fusarium Botrytis cinerea, Sclerotium rolfsii, Sclerotinia homoeocarpa. However, development of biocontrol systems has only begun when an effective strain is identified. In our research, we have used only T. harzianum T. virens Inexpensive production and formulation of the biocontrol agent or other material in question must be developed. The production process must result in biomass with excellent shelf life even under adverse storage conditions. In many respects, the requirements for production of products for agricultural use are more difficult to meet than those required for pharmaceutical products. If agricultural materials are to be successful, they must be very inexpensive, able to be produced in large quantities, and maintain good viability without specialized storage systems.
Bio-5--Plant Disease Diagnostics
The diagnostic kits are based on a method that uses proteins called antibodiesto detect diseasecausing organisms of plants (plant pathogens).
http://www.biotech.iastate.edu/biotech_info_series/bio5.html

Extractions: Topics The first and most important step in managing a plant disease is to correctly identify it. Although some diseases can be diagnosed quickly by visual examination, others require laboratory testing for diagnosis. These laboratory procedures may take days or even weeks to complete and are, in some cases, relatively insensitive. Delays are frustrating when a quick diagnosis is needed so that appropriate disease control measures may be taken to prevent plant injury, especially when high value cash crops, turf grass, or ornamentals are at stake. Fortunately, as the result of advances in biotechnology, new products and techniques are becoming available that will complement or replace time-consuming laboratory procedures. Many products already are available for use, while others are still in developmental stages. Some procedures require laboratory equipment and training, while other procedures can be performed on site by a person with no specialized training.

http://www.grounds-mag.com/ar/grounds_maintenance_stop_ornamental_diseases

Extractions: Ornamental plant diseases can significantly affect the aesthetic quality of many plants in the landscape. Not only do some of these diseases impact appearance in this season, but they also impact overall plant health and survival during seasonal weather changes. Managing ornamental diseases begins with the selection of resistant ornamental plants, maintaining adequate nutrition and irrigation, adopting appropriate cultural practices and providing the right environment for plants. To avoid a never-ending disease prone condition, it is critical to adopt a disease management program before getting to the point where fungicide applications are necessary. For some budget-stressed grounds managers, fungicides are not an available option. Consequently, this article focuses on non-fungicidal disease-management programs. When we consider options for plant disease management it is important to consider how our management plans augment disease development (See Figure 1, page 25).

Extractions: A Lot More than Just GM Crops Plant Disease Diagnostics Biotechnology has also allowed the development of diagnostics which has assisted farmers worldwide in managing different diseases affecting their crops. To successfully manage a plant disease, it is critical to correctly identify the cause of the disease in its early stages. Delaying this can result in extensive crop damage and financial loss to farmers. Some diseases can be diagnosed quickly by visual examination although sometimes, visual detection at the plant level is usually only possible after major damage to the crop has been done, by which time, it is too late. Other diseases require laboratory testing for diagnosis which may take days or even weeks to complete and are, in some cases, relatively insensitive. Delays are frustrating when a quick diagnosis is needed so that appropriate measures may be taken to prevent plant injury and loss. Fortunately, new diagnostic techniques are now available that require minimal processing time and are more accurate in identifying pathogens. These diagnostics are based on rapid detection of proteins or DNA that are specific to each pathogen, disease or condition. Some procedures require laboratory equipment and training, while other procedures can be performed on site by a person with no special training.

Extractions: Martha Mikkelson, Plant Disease Diagnostician, Montana State University WHAT IS A PLANT DISEASE? Plants and plant products are tremendously important for human survival since they provide food, clothing, furniture, a stable environment, and often housing. Plants, whether cultivated or wild, generally grow well when the soil provides them with sufficient nutrients and moisture, sufficient light reaches their leaves, and the temperature stays within a "normal" range. However, like people, plants can get sick. Agents similar to those that cause disease in people also can cause diseases in plants. A stricter definition usually includes any persistent irritation resulting in plant damage and characteristic symptoms. This definition includes such factors as pathogens, insufficient nitrogen, and air pollution.. However, it excludes factors such as lawnmower injury to trees and lightning injury since this damage presumably is a one-time occurrence.

( Click here for Nine Steps to Disease Prevention ) However, if they are already established, you may feel it's necessary to resort to one of the controls described below. Most of these mentioned here have low acute toxicity to mammals, including humans, and are not toxic to beneficial insects. Some, such as baking soda, are practically non-toxic, while others, including bordeaux mixture, lime-sulfur, concentrated silicate salts, and streptomycin should be used with caution. Always follow application instructions carefully and apply only at the appropriate time in the plant's growth cycle and at the proper time of day. Be sure to protect yourself using the proper precautions when applying these controls. It is wise to avoid inhaling any kind of pesticide spray.

Controlling Soilborne Pathogens Most garden diseases are caused by fungi: more than 8,000 species are known plant pathogens and either inhabit the aboveground portions of plants or are denizens of the soil. Most of the fungicides described below are essentially preventive measures, acting as barriers between pathogenic agents and plant tissues, and must be applied before new leaves or other susceptible plant parts appear, at the first sign of disease, or when weather conditions are favorable for disease.

Extractions: See also: Research database Plant disease diagnostics come of age Trapped spores of the light leaf spot pathogen Molecular diagnostics are an everyday part of clinical medicine, but in crop protection their use to date has been more limited and restricted to particular problems, such as the detection of imported disease agents (pathogens), or the diagnosis of diseases not easily identified on the basis of visual symptoms. The costs involved have also precluded routine use of molecular methods, except in special cases. Developments in the use of DNA diagnostics based on the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) have changed this scenario. It is now possible to detect plant disease agents with a higher degree of specificity and sensitivity than previously. We can also quickly determine particular genetic properties of pathogens, such as whether they are resistant or sensitive to the chemicals used for their control. By using appropriate primer sequences, the technique can target specific pathogen genes or mutations in such genes. It is also possible to detect several pathogens simultaneously in a single test.

http://www.ext.nodak.edu/extpubs/plantsci/pests/pp705w.htm

Extractions: Marcia P. McMullen and H. Arthur Lamey , Extension Plant Pathologists Crop rotation can help minimize plant disease potential by reducing populations of disease organisms surviving in the soil or on crop refuse. Although crop rotation reduces the risk of many row crop and cereal diseases, it does not eliminate them. Small amounts of the disease organism may persist in the soil or crop refuse over extended periods. In addition, crop rotation does not affect disease organisms that survive on or in the seed, such as the cereal smuts. Crop rotation also does not affect disease organisms that blow in from the south, such as the cereal rusts. "Unfavorable" rotations do not automatically result in serious disease outbreaks, because disease development often is dependent on favorable weather. However, growing successive crops that are susceptible to the same disease organism greatly increases the odds of severe disease losses. When crop rotations are limited or short term, vigorous disease and pest monitoring is essential. Some plant disease organisms are unique to a particular crop; others attack many crops. The presence of a particular disease within a crop has important implications for the next crop in that field. Common disease problems and rotations to help avoid them will be discussed.

This Committee will work with plant pathologists worldwide to establish principles (guidelines) for the naming of new plant diseases. Also, where multiple names, sometimes as many as 7 or 8 names, are being used for the one disease, the Committee will undertake discussion aimed at choosing the most appropriate name. The aim is to encourage the use of common names which describe a major symptom of a disease in words which are internationally meaningful. Eventually lists of internationally approved common names of plant diseases will be produced, which will assist authors, editors, quarantine officers and others communicating internationally. These lists will be placed on this ISPP-CCN website. You are invited to comment on the Committees Aims, which include recommended Principles (guidelines) and Working Rules (see the ISPP-CCN website below).
