Interaction effect of Root Lesion Nematodes and Fusarium culmorum Sacc. on disease complex in some wheat cultivars

Abstract

The study was conducted to assess a possible interaction between fungal pathogen of Fusarium culmorum Sacc. and Root lesion nematodes at sequentially and simultaneously inoculation. Fusarium culmorum spore suspension effect evaluated on plant disease severity and nematode density on moderate resistant wheat line to F. culmorum (2-49) and susceptible wheat variety (İkizce) under controlled condition. The disease severity was higher on İkizce cv. than 2-49. This indicates that there is a considerable important pathogen resistance. Simultaneous and sequential inoculation of Pratylenchus thornei and F. culmorum reduced the final nematode density and reproduction rate more than inoculation with only nematode on İkizce cv. The simultaneously P. penetrans and F.culmorum inoculation (N+F) affected the positively of final density on İkizce cv. The N+ F treatment affected the positively of P. neglectus density on İkizce cv., whereas negative effect was found in pre or post inoculation of F. culmorum treatments. No synergistic interactions were detected on 2-49 when plants were co-infected by the root lesion nematode and fungus. It was determined that P. thornei had a positive effect on disease severity when it entered the plant simultaneously and before the F. culmorum on İkizce cv.. The disease severity decreased in F. culmorum was applied four weeks after the P. neglectus treatment on 2-49 wheat line and İkizce cv. In the interaction with F. culmorum on İkizce cv., differences were determined between the species of root lesion nematodes.
