Prospects of Arbuscular Mycorrhiza in Sustainable Management of Root- and Soil-Borne Diseases of Vegetable Crops

  • Chapter
Fruit and Vegetable Diseases

Part of the book series: Disease Management of Fruits and Vegetables ((DMFV,volume 1))

Abstract

Vegetable crops are highly prone to a number of root and soil borne diseases causing great losses in yield and quality. Indiscriminate use of fungicides and pesticides in controlling the diseases has polluted the environment and produce. Thus, there is need of proper management of these diseases at reduced doses of pesticides to sustain the vegetable production. Biological control of plant diseases is one of the viable alternatives in sustainable agriculture. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi are associated with most agricultural crops and provide protection against soil-borne diseases. The degree of reduction in diseases development by AM fungi varies with the combination of host-AM-environmental conditions. Two groups of major soil borne pathogens of vegetables have been described here, namely nematode and fungi. Generally inoculation with AM fungi had a negative effect on growth of pathogens, but most of the reports for nematode diseases are on migratory and sedentary endoparasitic nematodes. The prophylactic action of AM may further be improved with the integration of antagonistic rhizosphere microbes to improve plant health. The mycorrhizal efficacy also varies by alteration in soil nutrition, mycorrhizosphere, inoculation sequences and modification of cultural practices. Number of mechanisms are involved in controlling the pathogen by mycorrhizal roots such as exclusion of pathogen, lignifications of cell wall, changed P nutrition, exudation of low molecular weight compounds etc.
