  1. ELICITATION OF RESISTANCE BY RAW COW MILK AND TRICHODERMA VIRIDE IN CHILLI AGAINST LEAF CURL DISEASE Arun Kumar and P. C. Mali Central Arid Zone Research Institute, Jodhpur-342003, IndiaEmail: arpurster@gmail.com

  2. CHILLI-THE CROP • Chilli or hot pepper (Capsicum annuum) is an effective medicine for various types of pains in humans • Herpes zoster-related pain, diabetic neuropathy, post- mastectomy pain, headaches, osteoarthritis, and the post-surgical pains in case of cancers • The crop is widely cultivated as vegetable and spice crop in the irrigated belt of arid and semi-arid areas

  3. BACKDROP • Rajasthan is the 6th largest producer in India • Jodhpur region produces 42.7% red chilli on 20,000 ha of land • Jodhpur district alone contributes 20% of total production of red chilli in the State • Continued..

  4. Popular chilli cvs. Mathania Red, Mehsana,Haripur-Raipur and Mandoria • Large and fleshy fruits, mild pungency and brilliant red colour with rich spicy flavour • Susceptible to fungal and viral diseases along with nematode

  5. Leaf curl disease (Begomovirus ChiLCuV,after Senanayake et al. 2007. Plant Pathology 56, 343). Die-back (Colletotrichum capsici(Syd.) Butler & Bisby) Root Knot nematodes (Medoidogyne incognita) DISEASES OF CHILLI

  6. SYMPTOMS Leaf Curl Disease of chilli • Curling of upper leaves with shortened internodes • Severely infected plants produce clusters of reduced sized leaves with fewer flowers and fruits • Small sized fruits are produced with deformed seeds Small sized fruits Clusters of reduced size leaves

  7. Green Fruit Yield of Chilli

  8. EXISTING MANAGEMENT PRACTICES • Farmers extensively use a number of insecticides to protect the crop from LCD • Use of pesticides has failed to minimize the losses • Causes environmental pollution, resistance in insect vectors and health hazards

  9. BIO-CONTROL AGENTS • Bio-control agents have emerged as a new method of managing plant diseases • Different botanicals (Plant spp.), animal products and other materials such as ash, cow urine and dung, fish meal and milk etc. • Rhizobacteria (PGPR), leaf proteins, proline and Trichoderma spp. reduce diseases in many plant species manipulating host plant's physical and biochemical properties

  10. USE OF MILK IN PLANT DISEASE MANAGEMENT • Indigenous ancient tool against plant diseases • Amino acids viz. proline, isoleucein and phenyl alanine in milk induce resistance against plant diseases • Phenolic anti-microbials are also present • Potassium phosphate content strengthens host immune system against diseases

  11. Amino Acid Content of Raw Cow’s Milk *

  12. AMINO ACIDS AND PLANT DISEASE PROTECTION • Certain amino acids demonstrated to act as inducers of plant resistance against biotic or abiotic stresses in many host-pathogen systems • Besides inducing resistance these amino acids also enhance growth of plants and act as osmo-protectants

  13. TREATMENT(T 1) Treated chilli seeds with RCM (1:1) for 24 hrs  Dried in shade  Treated these seeds with Trichoderma viride ( @ 6g-kg seed)  Nursery soil treated with T. viride (@ 10g2) after mixing with FYM  Seed sowing in nursery  45 DAS roots of plant saplings were dipped in RCM (15% or 1:6) for 20 min. before transplanting  20 DAS RCM (15%) sprayed on the transplanted plants FARMER’S PRACTICE (Control) Most of these practices are chemical sprays with or without chemical seed treatment

  14. Chilli-root-dip treatment with RCM

  15. Trichoderma in nursery soil grows with developing root system of the treated plant and protects the roots from infection

  16. On-farm Management of LCD (Pooled data of 2000-’04) *T-1: Seed treatment with RCM (1:1) for 24 hrs and T. viride (0.6%). Root dip for 10 min. in RCM (15%). Application of T. viride (10 g-m2) with FYM, and RCM (15%) spray 20 days after transplantation in field. FP: Variety of practices that vary from farmer to farmer. Most of these are non-organic, without any seed treatment.

  20. Elicitation of Defense Related Enzymes by Amino Acids Scavenging enzymes –peroxidases (POX) and phenolic generators - phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) are induced in response to both biotic and abiotic stresses (Schneider and Ullrich, 1994; van Loon, 1997)

  21. RCM and T. viride Induced Biochemical Changes in Leaves of Chilli

  22. INDUCED RESISTANCE • New strategy for managing plant diseases • Elicitors are characteristically non-specific • Induced general resistance is effective against a range of pathogens • Previously susceptible plant becomes resistant after application of an inducer

  23. Contd… • Elicitors enhance resistance response to extrinsic stimulus without altering the genome • Only metabolic changes in plants help in defending against infections • Environment friendly

  24. SYNTHESIS • Induced biochemical and molecular mechanisms of defense responses are generally correlated with enzymatic responses in plants • Peroxidase (POX) is a useful marker of plant development, physiology, infection and stress • POX contributes to resistance by oxidation of phenolic compounds in chilli • POX is a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of lignin that limits the extent of pathogen spread • PAL is critical precursor of a cascade of defense reactions leading to ISR

  25. LCD of Hot Pepper BCAs and Induced Resistance Results Conclusion • RCM (1:1 & 1:6) protected chilli from LCD • Metabolites increased in treated plants • Defense related enzymes showed increased activity • RCM &T.v treated seeds and T.vappliednursery soil with RCM sprays of 15%dilutioncapable of stimulating IR in chilli • Susceptible plant turns resistant by inducer application • Milk and T. viride have primed defense responses RCM and T. viride induced resistance against Chilli LCD ChiLCuVinduced diseaseposing hazards in increasing the production
