Abstract

In this paper, combined application of the plant activator acibenzolar-S-methyl (ASM) and the biocontrol fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. orthoceras (Foo) in an integrated system was evaluated with two sunflower cultivars in a three-factor experiment under greenhouse conditions in order to understand their main effects and interactions on Orobanche cumana control and on sunflower production. The main effects of ASM at 5 mg LS–1 (litre soil) thrice as soil drenches significantly reduced O. cumana number by 83% and dry matter by 80% and significantly increased sunflower shoot and head dry matter in average of two sunflower culti-vars. ASM at 250 g L–1 thrice as foliar sprays significantly reduced only O. cumana dry matter by 18%. Foo at 1 g LS–1 significantly reduced O. cumana number by 48% and dry matter by 32% and significantly increased sunflower root and shoot dry matter. Sunflower cv. GO was more susceptible to the parasite than HA89. The interaction between ASM and Foo was highly significantly different on O. cumana number and dry matter and significantly different on sunflower shoot dry matter. In general, the combination of ASM and Foo increased control reliability of O. cumana and improved security of ASM to sunflower. Control of O. cumana in sunflower by ASM was cultivar-dependent. ASM soil drenches combined with Foo were more effective than ASM foliar sprays with Foo.

Zusammenfassung

p ]In einem Gewächshausversuch mit Sonnenblumen wurde das Pflanzenstärkungsmittel Acibenzolar-S-methyl (ASM) in Kombination mit dem Pilz Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. orthoce-ras (Foo) auf ihre Kontrollwirkung gegenüber dem Wurzelparasiten Orobanche cumana erfasst. Die Wechselwirkung von Sonnenblumen mit O. cumana und ihre Ertragsleistung unter Präparateeinwirkung wurde anhand zweier Sonnenblumensorten (Givat Oz und HA 89) untersucht. ASM in einer Konzentration von 5 mg pro Liter Boden, dreimal auf das Erdreich appliziert, verringerte signifikant die Anzahl an O. cumana um 87% und das Trockengewicht um 80%. Die durchschnittliche Spross- und Korbtrockenmasse der beiden Sonnenblumensorten wurde durch die Behandlung signifikant erhöht. ASM in einer Dosis von 250 g pro Liter, dreimal auf die Blätter der Sonnenblumen appliziert, reduzierte die Trockenmasse von O. cumana um lediglich 18%. Foo in einer Aufwandmenge von 1 g pro Liter Boden reduzierte signifikant die Anzahl von O. cumana um 48% und das Trockengewicht um 32%. Spross- und Wurzeltrockenmasse der Sonnenblume waren signifikant erhöht. Die Sonnenblumensorte GO reagierte auf den Wurzelparasiten empfindlicher als die Sorte HA 89. Die Versuche zeigten, dass ASM und Foo in Kombination ausgebracht, die Verlässlichkeit der Orobanche-Kontrolle steigert und die Behandlungswirkung von ASM auf Sonnenblumen verstärkt. Die Kombination von Foo mit ASM als Gießapplikation auf den Boden war effektiver in der Oroban-chebekämpfung als ASM zusammen mit Foo, appliziert auf die Blätter der Sonnenblume.
