Abstract

Narmani A. & Arzanlou M. 2017. Grapevine Esca disease. Plant Pathology Science 6(1): 12-21.

Esca is one of the most important and destructive diseases of grapevines worldwide, decreasing growth and yield in all stages of growth. Phaeoacremonium minimum is known as the main fungal species associated with disease, worldwide and its pathogenicity on grapevines have been documented by several studies in Iran. In the vineyards, infected plant material, soil and reproductive material are the main sources of inoculums. Pruning wounds are the main route for entrance of pathogen and infection. Seasonal and environmental factors such as stress and damage caused by freezing are effective on the symptom developed. Disease management strategies are mainly preventive with pruning and elimination of infected organs and treatment of pruning wounds with fungicides have been suggested.

Gray mold caused by Botrytis cinerea, is one of the most important postharvest diseases on fresh fruits and vegetables worldwide. The disease may start in the field and remain as a latent infection and then develop after harvest, during transportation, packaging, storage and marketing. Nowadays, application of fungicides is the main strategy to control the gray mold disease in conventional agriculture. The presence of fungicide residues in edible fruits and vegetables is a concern for consumers because pesticides are known to have potential harmful effects. Therefore, the search on finding the safe and effective disease control strategies has been accelerated. Integrated management of the disease by using some methods like optimal method of irrigation and fertilization, biological control, use of bioagents, disinfection of fresh fruits and vegetables after harvesting, storing and shipping in a cool and dry condition with low humidity and suitable ventilation are suggested.

Introduction: Huanglongbing or Fruit Greening is one of the major citrus diseases in Iran that has spread to most of the country's citrus growing provinces. In this study, the prevalence trend of the disease in seven provinces was investigated and analyzed. Materials and Methods: Citrus orchards in Sistan-Balochestan, Hormozgan, Bushehr, Khuzestan, Fars, Kerman and Mazandaran provinces were visited and samples suspected of having this disease were collected, in 2007-2009 and 2017-2019 years. After DNA extraction from the samples, the PCR test was performed using the specific primers OI1/OI2c and A2/J5. Results: It was found that the percentage of infected specimens, infected areas and number of hosts of Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus, the causative agent of this disease, has increased over this period. At the end of this period, some samples of oranges, tangerines, grapefruits, bitter oranges, Lisbon lemons and Mexican limes were obtained from the provinces: Kerman, Hormozgan, Sistan-Baluchestan, and Fars were infected with the disease. Conclusion: The study of the disease during these years showed that: the infected areas and the host range of the disease have expanded a lot during this period, and the spread of the disease in citrus cultivation areas in the south of the country has been with a gentle slope. The reduction of the disease-carrying psyllium population during these years seems to have been effective in slowing down the spread of the disease.
