    Notes: Seed and soil treatment with Pseudomonas fluorescens RGAF 19, P. fluorescens RG 26, Bacillus megaterium RGAF 51 and Paenibacillus macerans RGAF 101 can suppress fusarium wilt of chickpea (Cicer arietinum), but the extent of disease suppression by these rhizobacteria is modulated by soil temperature. In this work, the effect of temperature on plant–rhizobacteria interactions was assessed in relation to biocontrol potential for suppression of fusarium wilt of chickpea. Seed and soil treatment with those rhizobacteria delayed seedling emergence compared with nontreated controls, and either increased or had no deleterious effect on chickpea growth. Pseudomonas fluorescens isolates significantly increased chickpea shoot dry weight at 20°C and root dry weight at 25 and 30°C. All bacterial isolates colonized the chickpea rhizosphere and internal stem tissues at 20, 25 and 30°C, and there was a positive linear trend between bacterial population size in the rhizosphere and temperature increase. The maximum inhibition of mycelial growth and conidial germination of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris race 5 in vitro occurred at a temperature range optimal for bacterial growth and production of inhibitory metabolites. These results demonstrate the need to understand the effects of environmental factors on the biological activities of introduced rhizobacteria of significant importance for plant disease suppression.

    Notes: Didymella rabiei grew saprophytically on pieces of infested chickpea stems and pods, and formed pycnidia and pseudothecia. The extent of saprophytic growth and production of viable spores were determined by the incubation conditions. On debris left on the soil surface under natural conditions, the fungus rapidly colonized the tissues, formed abundant pseudothecia and pycnidia, and remained viable throughout the 2 years of the study. When plant debris was buried, D, rabiei was restricted to the original lesions, in which it formed new pycnidia and was viable for 2 to 5 months. Under controlled conditions in the laboratory, D. rabiei extensively colonized plant debris spread over the soil surface. On the other hand, the fungus did not grow on buried debris, or showed only very limited development when the artificially infested debris was buried between two layers of sterilized soil. Incubation temperature was the principal factor associated with the production of conidia and especially ascospores.

    Notes: The essential oil of Chrysanthemum coronarium flowerheads showed strong nematicidal activity in vitro and in growth-chamber experiments. Essential oil concentrations of 2, 4, 8 and 16 µL mL−1, significantly reduced hatch, J2 survival (determined by final value and area under curves of cumulative percentage hatch or mortality) and reproduction rate of Meloidogyne artiellia in vitro, with the lowest values occurring at 16 µL mL−1. In pot trials with chickpea cv. PV 61, essential oil concentrations of 10–40 µL per 500 cm3 soil, applied on sterile cotton pellets, also significantly reduced the nematode's reproduction rate. The biological processes of mortality and hatching/reproduction were adequately described by the monomolecular and expanded negative exponential models, respectively. Effectiveness of soil amendment with either flowers, leaves, roots or seeds of C. coronarium, and flowers from several species of Asteraceae (Chrysanthemum segetum, Calendula maritima, Calendula officinalis and Calendula suffruticosa) at 5 g per 500 cm3 soil was tested for suppression of M. artiellia and growth of chickpea cv. PV 61 under growth-chamber conditions. In these tests, flowers of all five Asteraceae species and various parts of C. coronarium significantly reduced reproduction rates of M. artiellia, by 83·0–95·9%, with the minimum rates occurring in infected chickpea plants amended with flowers of C. officinalis and C. suffruticosa. The in vitro and in planta results suggest that the essential oil of C. coronarium and organic amendments from Asteraceae species may serve as nematicides.

    Notes: Didymella rabiei grew saprophytically on pieces of artificially and naturally infected chickpea stem debris under artificial incubation conditions, and formed pseudothecia and pycnidia. The extent of growth was not significantly affected by temperature of incubation within the range 5–25°C, but was significantly reduced as relative humidity (RH) decreased from 100% to 86%, when no growth occurred. Pseudothecia matured at 10°C and constant 100% RH, or at 5 and 10°C and alternating 100%/34% RH. Under these conditions, pseudothecial maturation, assessed by a pseudothecia maturity index, increased over time according to the logistic model. For temperatures higher than 10°C or RH lower than 100%, pseudothecia either did not form ascospores, or ascopores did not mature and their content degenerated. When pseudothecia that initially developed to a given developmental stage were further incubated at a constant 100% RH, temperature became less limiting for complete pseudothecial development as the developmental stage was more advanced. Pycnidia of the fungus developed and formed viable conidia in all environmental conditions studied, except at 86% RH. However, the density of pycnidia formed and the number of viable conidia per pycnidium were significantly influenced by temperature, RH and the type of debris (artificially or naturally infected) used.

    Notes: Abstract The incidence and severity of Ascochyta blight in potted chickpea trap plants exposed for 1-wk periods near infested chickpea debris in Córdoba, Spain, or in chickpea trap crops at least 100 m from infested chickpea debris in several locations in southern Spain were correlated with pseudothecial maturity and ascospore production ofDidymella rabiei from nearby chickpea debris. The period of ascospore availability varied from January to May and depended on rain and maturity of pseudothecia. The airborne concentration of ascospores ofD. rabiei was also monitored in 1988. Ascospores were trapped mostly from the beginning of January to late February; this period coincided with that of maturity of pseudothecia on the chickpea debris. Most ascospores were trapped on rainy days during daylight and 70% were trapped between 12.00 and 18.00 h. Autumn-winter sowings of chickpea were exposed longer to ascospore inoculum than the more traditional spring sowings because the autumn-winter sowings were exposed to the entire period of ascospore production on infested chickpea debris lying on the soil surface.
