Isolation and Identification of Major Pathogens,Biological Characterization and Indoor Screening of Agents for the Major Pathogenic Fungus of Broad Bean Chocolate Spot in Qinghai Province
[Objective]The objective of this study was to identify the main pathogens causing chocolate spot disease in broad beans in Qinghai Province,determine the environmental conditions conducive to pathogen growth,and screen for chemical agents with potent inhibitory effects against broad bean choco-late spot.[Method]The pathogen responsible for broad bean chocolate spot was identified through mor-phological and molecular biology analyses.The biological characteristics of the pathogen were studied,with particular attention to its growth under varying nitrogen and carbon sources and temperatures.Nine chemical agents were selected for the screening test,and the pathogen′s growth response to different con-centrations and agents was documented.[Result]Among the strains identified in the early stages,Botrytis cinerea was the most prevalent and is considered the representative strain for this study.The pathogen exhibited the fastest growth rate when glucose and yeast extract were used as car-bon and nitrogen sources,respectively,with a culture temperature of 20-25°C.Laboratory screening tests revealed that two fungicides,oxanone-cyanurate and mancozeb,had low EC50 values,both below 5.00 mg/L,indicating strong toxicity.[Conclusion]Botrytis cinerea is confirmed as one of the primary pathogens responsible for broad bean red spot disease in Qinghai Province.Glucose and yeast extract can enhance the growth of the pathogen strain ZS045B,and a culture temperature of 20-25°C is optimal for its growth.Both oxanone-cyanurate and mancozeb demonstrated strong inhibitory effects on the growth of the pathogen ZS045B and are recommended for further field trials.
