3
What is a Plant Disease? A disorder in Structure or
Physiological function in a plant Vyuhaye ho ehi kriyakarithvaye akramavathbavaya
4
What are plant Physiological functions?
Photosynthesis Respiration Plant nutrition Plant hormone functions Photoperiodism & photomorphogenesis Environmental stress physiology Seed germination Dormancy Stomata function Transpiration………etc
5
Diseased Plant Produce specific symptoms or that affects a specific location Entering living or non living pathogenic agents in to the host plant can cause diseases (except nutrient deficiencies)
6
What is a pathogen / Pathogenic agent?
A living or unliving agent (infectious agent) that can cause a disease to the host
7
What is Disease Triangle?
All three conditions should satisfy to cause the particular disease to the susceptible host
8
What is a Fungus? A group of unicellular, multicellular, or syncytial spore-producing organisms feeding on organic matter due to that lack chlorophyll Attack crops above & below soil surface Spread by wind, rain, insects, birds, soil, machinery & contaminated seed Including moulds, yeast, mushrooms, & toadstools
10
Fungi Classification Pathogenic Fungi Life cycle known Myxomycetes
Classification : Example Kingdom : Plantae Division : Phycomycetes Class: Oomycetes Order : Peronosporales Family : Peronosporaceae Genus : Phytophthora Species : infestans Pathogenic Fungi Life cycle known Myxomycetes Phycomycetes Ascomycetes Basidiomycetes Deutromycetes Leaf Spots, Fruit spots Vascular wilts. Powdery Mildews, Alternaria Sigatoka, Leaf Spots, Stem & Twig Canker, Anthracnose, Fruit diseases, Post harvest disease, Fussarium club root rot of crucifers Order : Oomycetes Pythium rot, Damping off,Root rot Phytophthora Diseases Downy Mildews The Rust, the Smut, Rizoctonia
11
Plant Pathology Plant pathology is the scientific study of diseases in plants caused by pathogens & environmental conditions Heinrich Anton de Bary (1831 – 1888) known as “father of plant pathology” (German surgeon, botanist, microbiologist, & mycologist) Proved plant diseases caused by fungi not by bad weather condition Publishing the book “Research on the development of some parasitic fungi” – trial , inoculated spores of P. infestans on healthy potato
12
History of Fungicides Seed wheat salvaged from the sea was free of bunt. In the middle of 17th Century the first use of brining of grain with salt water followed by liming took place to control bunt in seed wheat Tillet (1755) found, seed-borne fungi (Tilletia tritici, T. laevis) caused bunt of wheat & could be controlled by seed treatments of lime, or lime and salt
13
History of Fungicides Year Fungicide Primary Use
Overview of Fungicide Development and Usage Year Fungicide Primary Use 1637 Brine Cereal seed treatment 1755 Arsenic 1760 Copper sulfate 1824 Sulfur (dust) Powdery mildew and other pathogens 1833 Lime + sulfur Broad spectrum foliar pathogens 1885 Bordeaux mixture 1891 Mercury chloride Turf fungicide 1900 CuOCl2 Especially Phytophthora infestans 1914 Phenylmercury chloride 1932 Cu2O Seed and broad spectrum foliar diseases 1934 Dithiocarbamates patented Broad spectrum protectants 1940 Chloranil, Dichlone Broad spectrum seed treatment
14
Fungicide Classification
Mobility within plants- distribution By chemical group – chemical structure By MOA – site of action
15
Classification by mobility
Contact Fungicides Adsorbed to the leaf surfaces Protective/preventive fungicides must applied before spores germinate Fungicides include Chlorothalonil, Propineb, Maneb, Metiram, Mancozeb, KHCO3
16
Systemic Fungicides Absorbed into plants
Mobile in the plant upward & downward via xylem & phloem New chemistries; Strobilurins – Clutch, Amista, Nativo Triazoles- Perido, Folicor, Razer…etc Bensamidoles- Topsin Phenylamides- Ridol Carbamates- Previcor CAA- Acrobat
17
Fungicide categories Systemic Protectant
18
Translamina movement / semi systemic
Penetrant

Contact vs Systemic Fungicides
Contact/Protectant Systemic Adsorbed Absorbed Immobile Mobile Preventive Preventive + Curative Multi site of action Single site of action Few problems with resistance Resistant fungi strains could develop Eg: Mancozeb, Maneb, Sulfur, copper, Chlorothalonil Eg:-Metalxil, Dimethomorph, Thiphenate methyl, Promorpcarb

37
Strobilurin Fungicides
38
Discovery of Strobilurin Fungicides
Many of the newest & most important disease-control agents Isolated from wood-rotting mushroom fungi Chemical Family- Strobilurin Natural fungicides help the fungus to defend itself from competition by microbes present in rotting wood Less risk - to human & the environment compared to alternatives
40
Strobilurin Fungicides
Pyraclostrobin Azoxystrobin & Picoxystrobin Fluoxastrobin Trifloxystrobin Fenamidone Metominostrobin Famoxadone
41
Spectrum of Activity The QoI fungicides control a broad spectrum of fungal diseases Downy mildews Powdery mildews Leaf spotting Blighting fungi Fruit rotters Rusts
42
Compatible Crops Cereals Field crops/Vegetables Turf Fruits
Ornamentals
43
Mobility Fungicide can be found on both leaf surfaces even if only one leaf surface was treated Translaminar movement can take one to several days to be fully effective Fungicides such as Pyraclostobin, kresoxim methyl and trifloxystrobin-which are not true systemics (mesostemics / surface systemics) The fungicide azoxystrobin moves translaminarly as well as systemically (in the plant's vascular system)
44
Importance of Mobility
Translaminar movement help to compensate for incomplete spray coverage Vapor phase redistribution help to compensate for poor crop coverage Several days may be required for adequate protection Concerns curative disease control Excellent as preventive fungicides - effectively kill germinating spores Best use of QoI fungicides is to apply them before fungus development infection takes place.
45
Protection stages of fungal growth
46
Strobilurin fungicide MOA
Inhibit mitochondrial respiration in fungi Bind at the Qo-centre on cytochrome b & block electron transfer between cytochrome b & cytochrome c1 This disrupts the energy cycle within the fungus by halting the production of ATP
47
Resistance Management
Limit the number of applications Limit the number of consecutive applications Pre-mixtures are preferable Use them at early stages of disease development (Preventive/Protective action) Tank mix with other fungicides
48
Effects on Plant Health
Several QoI fungicides are known to cause growth-promoting effects In certain plants Pyraclostrobin has been shown to cause changes Growth enhancement Delayed leaf senescence Greater stress tolerance Quality improvement
