Field Evaluation of Phomopsis amaranthicola, A Biological Control Agent of Amaranthus spp

There are approximately 60 species in the genus Amaranthus, of which seven are used as grains, leafy vegetables, or ornamentals. The majority of the remaining species are considered important weeds. A new fungal species, Phomopsis amaranthicola, isolated from stem and leaf lesions on an Amaranthus s...

520 |a There are approximately 60 species in the genus Amaranthus, of which seven are used as grains, leafy vegetables, or ornamentals. The majority of the remaining species are considered important weeds. A new fungal species, Phomopsis amaranthicola, isolated from stem and leaf lesions on an Amaranthus sp. plant, was found to be pathogenic to 22 species of Amaranthus tested. The efficacy of this fungus was tested in field trials using one or two postemergent applications of the fungus consisting of two concentrations of conidia or mycelial suspensions. Species tested for susceptibility in the field included Amaranthus hybridus, A. lividus, A. viridus, A. spinosus, and a triazine-resistant A. hybridus. The cumulative disease incidence data for each treatment within each species were plotted versus time using regression for lifetime data. Plant mortality was recorded 2, 4, and 6 weeks after inoculation. There were significant differences between the treatment effects in the control plots versus the plots treated with P. amaranthicola. The highest level of control was obtained in the first trial when the fungus was applied at 6 × 107 conidia per ml. Final mortality of all species, except A. hybridus, reached 100% in inoculated plots 25 days earlier than in noninoculated control plots. Conidial suspensions were more effective in controlling the species in the second trial than were mycelial suspensions. Spread of the pathogen to noninoculated control plots was faster in the second year than in other years. High levels of plant mortality were achieved in plots of A. spinosus, A. lividus, and A. viridis. A. hybridus and the triazine-resistant A. hybridus were not effectively controlled in the second year due to the advanced stage of plant growth (8 to 10 true leaves) at the time of pathogen application. Results confirmed that P. amaranthicola is an effective biocontrol agent of some of the Amaranthus spp. tested
