Antagonistic organisms and Chitoplant® in the treatment of the seeds of Phaseolus vulgaris L. against Sclerotium rolfsii Sacc
Main Article Content
Abstract
The present work was carried out in the Basic Unit of Cooperative Production (UBPC) “Roberto Rodríguez” located on highway Camajuaní Km 5 1/2, Villa Clara, in a brown sialitic carbonate soil, with the objective of looking for alternatives to reduce the negative impact of Sclerotium rolfsii Sacc. on the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). The effectiveness of natural and biological products was evaluated, as well as the effect of the treatments on the morphophysiology of the crop. Seeds were treated with one of: Trichoderma viride Raifi, Bacillus subtilis Cohn, Burkholderia cepacia, Pseudomonas aeruginosa Migula, Pseudomonas fluorescens Migula, or Chitoplant ® (Quitosana at 0.1%). Products were applied to the seed by immersion. Control treatments included a water control and a chemical control; TMTD WP (tetrametiltiuramdisulfuro 80%), both applied by immersion. The results obtained were that: the treatments with the bacteria and Chitoplant significantly reduced damage caused by S. rolfsii in comparison with the water and chemical controls and T. viride. All natural treatments with the exception of Chitoplant stimulated the growth and development of the crop. Seed treatment with biological products and natural substances can be used as an alternative for the reduction of S. rolfsii that cause losses in crops of the common bean.
