Evaluation of the biological effectiveness of the biofungicide Serenade ASO, SC in the fight against bacterial black spot of tomatoes (Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria (Doidge) on indoor tomatoes

Abstract

The article presents the results of two-year studies on the biological effectiveness of biofungicide Serenade, ASO, SC (Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, strain QST-713, titer not less than 1x10 9 CFU/ml) in the fight against bacterial black spot on the leaves and fruits of indoor tomatoes in the conditions of the II soil-climatic zone of the Crimea. It was found that a five-time treatment with biofungicide Serenade, ASO, SC, the rate of application of 5.0, 6.5 and 8.0 l/ha, contributed to a decrease in the intensity of development of Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria on leaves by 2.3-2.9 times, on fruits by 2.2-2.7 times. On the 10th day after the fifth spraying, the biological effectiveness of biofungicide Serenade, ASO, SC in the application rates of 5.0, 6.5 and 8.0 l/ha, with an average development of bacterial black spot on the control variant (3.3-5.2% on leaves, 2.9-3.3% on fruits), on leaves was 76.5-85.1%, on fruits – 71.6-75.0%. On the day of the last harvest, on the 29th day after the last treatment, the biological efficiency on leaves was 57.3-65.4%, on fruits – 54.5-62.6%. The difference of five-time treatment with biofungicide Serenade, ASO, SC in the norm of application of 8.0 l/ha, with the standard is insignificant, within the limits of experimental error. The positive effect of biofungicide Serenade, ASO, SC on yield was noted. The difference with the control (77.9 c/ha) is 34.9, 36.9 and 41.0 c/ha.
