The alternative control of powdery mildew complex (Leveillula taurica and Erysiphe sp.) in tomato in the Azapa Valley, Chile

The powdery mildew complex (Leveillula taurica and Erysiphe sp.) is one of the major factors limiting tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) production in the Azapa Valley, Chile. This problem is especially severe in the case of protected crops because the options for the treatment of these crops with chemic...

This problem is especially severe in the case of protected crops because the options for the treatment of these crops with chemical fungicides are limited. This study evaluated the effects of 0.5 and 1.0 kg100 L-1 Ospo-V55® and 10% raw cow's milk on tomato leaflets infected by powdery mildew complex. Ospo-V55®, with active ingredients consisting of 10% p/p of algae extract (IB-101) and 0.8% of microorganism concentrate, was evaluated in this study. Ospo-V55® contains flavonoids, alkaloids and phenols, oligo- and polysaccharides, 8.6% protein, 0.5% magnesium and trace amounts of riboflavin, niacin and ascorbic acid. Tacora Mas® (a mixture of 25% tebuconazole and 12.5% carbendazime) and Acoidal WG (wettable sulfur) were included for comparison with the Ospo-V55® and raw cow's milk treatments.

The effect of the treatments on the germination of the conidia of L. taurica and Erysiphe sp. was also studied on water agar. Tacora Mas® provided the best control of powdery mildew in the field, followed by 1.0 kg100 L-1 Ospo-V55® and Acoidal. However, Ospo-V55® was more effective than Acoidal. All treatments, including raw cow's milk, significantly (P≤0.05) reduced disease severity in the leaf compared with the control. Both surfaces of the leaves were assessed, and better results were obtained on the upper surface. This difference was associated with differences in wetting. Acoidal was the most effective treatment for inhibiting conidia germination, decreasing germination more than 98.2%. This result differed significantly from the value of inhibition produced by Tacora Mas®. Ospo-V55® and raw cow's milk showed significant differences (P≤0.05) in conidial germination compared with the control.
