Anfälligkeit einer Sommererbse gegenüber Isolaten von Pathogenarten, die von symptomfreien Kleearten und Wicken isoliert wurden

Summary

Integration of additional leguminous living mulch and cover crop species holds a great potential for reducing external inputs and improving agricultural sustainability. However, changes towards legume rich crop rotations raises concerns as many of the species of interest share important soil-borne pathogens with some important main crops such as peas, beans and cereals. The pathogenicity towards the spring pea variety Santana was determined for 67 isolates of Fusarium oxysporum, F. solani, F. avenaceum, Didymella spp., Phoma medicaginis and Phoma spp. obtained from seemingly healhty roots of Trifolium subterraneum, T. repens, Vicia villosa and V. sativa. Only one isolate of F. solani and two isolates of Phoma spp. were nonpathogenic. F. avenaceum isolates were the most virulent with disease index up to 100 and reduction of fresh weights up to 98% compared with control plants.
