Abstract EN
This research aims to control Seedling damping off disease in plants by using antagonistic actinomycetes against the causative fungi.
Phytophthora infestans was isolated from the infected tomato plant seedling obtained from an economic plant nursery in Amphoe Pak Chong, Nakhon Ratchasima Province, Thailand.
The chitinolytic Streptomyces rubrolavendulae S4, isolated from termite mounds at the grove of Amphoe Si-Sawat, Kanchanaburi Province, Thailand, was proven to be the most effective growth inhibition of fungal pathogens tested on potato dextrose agar.
Tomato and chili seedlings that colonized with antagonistic S.
rubrolavendulae S4 were grown in P.
infestans artificial inoculated peat moss.
Percents of noninfested seedling in fungal contaminated peat moss were compared to the controls with uninoculated peat moss.
In P.
infestans contaminated peat moss, the percents of survival of tomato and chili seedling were significantly increased (P<0.05) from 51.42 to 88.57 and 34.10 to 76.71 for the S.
rubrolavendulae S4 treatment, respectively.
The S.
rubrolavendulae S4 also showed high efficiency equivalent to fungicide, metalaxyl with no significant difference (P>0.05).
It was clearly demonstrated that S.
rubrolavendulae S4 can prevent the tomato and chili seedling damping off disease in economic plant nurseries.
