Casi han pasado 20 años desde la primera detección del virus del bronceado del tomate (TSWV) en las Islas Canarias y, aunque la situación ha ido cambiando durante estas dos décadas, la problemática de la enfermedad sigue vigente en nuestro país. La epidemiología de la enfermedad determinó una rápida expansión llegando a ser, en pocos años, un factor limitante para el cultivo de algunas de las principales especies hortícola como son el tomate y el pimiento. La incorporación de genes de resistencias en los híbridos comerciales de estas especies, mediante programas de mejora genética, se mostró como el único método eficaz para el control de la enfermedad, una década después de su detección. Desde entonces y debido a la rápida aceptación de estos híbridos por parte de los agricultores, la enfermedad del bronceado en términos generales pasó a un segundo plano. Sin embargo, la variabilidad y gran capacidad de cambio que poseen los virus y, en concreto el TSWV, ha dado lugar a que en el transcurso de unos pocos años hayan aparecido cepas o variantes del virus que son capaces de sobrepasar dichas resistencias. La superación de esas resistencias está originando una gran problemática, no sólo por las pérdidas económicas que se han producido o se lleguen a producir, sino también desde el punto de vista legal por el enfrentamiento de los agricultores con las empresas productoras de semilla que publicitan semillas híbridas resistentes a la enfermedad del bronceado.

Los patrones de tomate se han propuesto como una alternativa no química al uso del bromuro de metilo. En este estudio se evaluó la respuesta de resistencia de diez patrones de tomate (comerciales y experimentales) a nematodos del género Meloidogyne mediante un ensayo de campo realizado en un invernadero de plástico cuyo suelo se hallaba infestado por Meloidogyne javanica. Al finalizar la campaña agrícola (marzo a julio), siete de los patrones ensayados mostraron altos niveles de resistencia, uno presentó resistencia intermedia y dos resultaron ser susceptibles al nematodo.

Whiteflies and whitefly-transmitted viruses are some of the major constraints on European tomato production. The main objectives of this study were to: identify where and why whiteflies are a major limitation on tomato crops; collect information about whiteflies and associated viruses; determine the available management tools; and identify key knowledge gaps and research priorities. This study was conducted within the framework of ENDURE (European Network for Durable Exploitation of Crop Protection Strategies). Two whitefly species are the main pests of tomato in Europe: Bemisia tabaci and Trialeurodes vaporariorum. Trialeurodes vaporariorum is widespread to all areas where greenhouse industry is present, and B. tabaci has invaded, since the early 1990’s, all the subtropical and tropical areas. Biotypes B and Q of B. tabaci are widespread and especially problematic. Other key tomato pests are Aculops lycopersici, Helicoverpa armigera, Frankliniella occidentalis, and leaf miners. Tomato crops are particularly susceptible to viruses causingTomato yellow leaf curl disease (TYLCD). High incidences of this disease are associated to high pressure of its vector, B. tabaci. The ranked importance of B. tabaci established in this study correlates with the levels of insecticide use, showing B. tabaci as one of the principal drivers behind chemical control. Confirmed cases of resistance to almost all insecticides have been reported. Integrated Pest Management based on biological control (IPM-BC) is applied in all the surveyed regions and identified as the strategy using fewer insecticides. Other IPM components include greenhouse netting and TYLCD-tolerant tomato cultivars. Sampling techniques differ between regions, where decisions are generally based upon whitefly densities and do not relate to control strategies or growing cycles. For population monitoring and control, whitefly species are always identified. In Europe IPM-BC is the recommended strategy for a sustainable tomato production. The IPM-BC approach is mainly based on inoculative releases of the parasitoids Eretmocerus mundus and Encarsia formosa and/or the polyphagous predators Macrolophus caliginosus and Nesidiocoris tenuis. However, some limitations for a wider implementation have been identified: lack of biological solutions for some pests, costs of beneficials, low farmer confidence, costs of technical advice, and low pest injury thresholds. Research priorities to promote and improve IPM-BC are proposed on the following domains: (i) emergence and invasion of new whitefly-transmitted viruses; (ii) relevance of B. tabaci biotypes regarding insecticide resistance; (iii) biochemistry and genetics of plant resistance; (iv) economic thresholds and sampling techniques of whiteflies for decision making; and (v) conservation and management of native whitefly natural enemies and improvement of biological control of other tomato pests.

Las larvas de quironómidos (Cricotupus sylvestris) constituyen la plaga invertebrada más importante que afecta al establecimiento del cultivo en aquellos arrozales donde se realiza siembra directa sobre una lámina de agua. En el delta del Ebro, Catalá MM et al., 2008a y 2008 b, demostraron como largos periodos de inundación favorecen el incremento de la población de larvas de quironómidos, hasta tal punto que se llega a destruir prácticamente la totalidad de semillas y plántulas si coincide el periodo de máxima población de la plaga con el de mayor sensibilidad del cultivo. Los campos de arroz infestados de arroz salvaje (Oryza sativa L.) requieren largos periodos de inundación para favorecer la nascencia del mismo y proceder a su destrucción, que puede ser mecánica o química. Este método de eliminación de arroz salvaje se denomina “falsa siembra”. Por otra parte se sabe que no hay insecticidas autorizados en el cultivo del arroz con suficiente eficacia para controlar las elevadas poblaciones de quironómidos (trabajos no publicados del autor), lo que nos lleva a estudiar la plaga dentro del ámbito agronómico del cultivo para disminuir la misma a niveles poblacionales suficientemente bajos que permitan conseguir una buena densidad de planta. Así pues, este trabajo pretende estudiar el efecto que tienen las distintas técnicas de control del arroz salvaje sobre la población de quironómidos.

La pyriculariosis del arroz, causada por el hongo Pyricularia grisea (Cooke) Sacc., es una enfermedad que provoca daños considerables en la zona arrocera del Delta del Ebro. El hongo puede infectar el cultivo en todos los estadios de crecimiento y también en las partes aéreas de la planta: hoja, nudo del tallo, cuello y panícula. El uso de variedades resistentes para el control de la enfermedad es un método económico y efectivo, pero esta resistencia puede verse modificada con la presencia en la zona de nuevas poblaciones de P. grisea de tipo virulento, por lo que esta herramienta se debe utilizar bajo un concepto dinámico. El presente trabajo se centra en el estudio del comportamiento frente a P. grisea de un grupo de variedades de arroz cultivadas en el Delta del Ebro durante el período 2000-2008. El perfil varietal del Delta del Ebro durante este período ha ido variando constantemente y la mayoría de variedades principales que se han cultivado o se cultivan actualmente han presentado un comportamiento de tipo moderado frente a P. grisea.

L’objectiu principal d’aquest treball és relacionar el nivell d’estemfiliosi en plantacions comercials de perera, a caiguda de fulla, amb la DPP o dosi potencial de pseudotecis de Pleospora allii (fase sexual del patogen Stemphylium vesicarium). També es pretén determinar aspectes relacionats amb la biologia del fong P. allii, com la dinàmica de producció de pseudotecis en el temps i l’efecte de la temperatura en aquesta formació. El coneixement del DPP en plantacions de pera i la predicció del desenvolupament inicial de la malaltia poden permetre perfeccionar els programes de control de l’estemfiliosi, reduint-ne el cost i l’impacte ambiental

This study evaluated the efficacy of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from fresh fruits and vegetables as biocontrol agents against the phytopathogenic and spoilage bacteria and fungi, Xanthomonas campestris, Erwinia carotovora, Penicillium expansum, Monilinia laxa, and Botrytis cinerea. The antagonistic activity of 496 LAB strains was tested in vitro and all tested microorganisms except P. expansum were inhibited by at least one isolate. The 496 isolates were also analyzed for the inhibition of P. expansum infection in wounds of Golden Delicious apples. Four strains (TC97, AC318, TM319, and FF441) reduced the fungal rot diameter of the apples by 20%; only Weissella cibaria strain TM128 decreased infection levels by 50%. Cell-free supernatants of selected antagonistic bacteria were studied to determine the nature of the antimicrobial compounds produced. Organic acids were the preferred mediators of inhibition but hydrogen peroxide was also detected when strains BC48, TM128, PM141 and FF441 were tested against E. carotovora. While previous reports of antifungal activity by LAB are scarce, our results support the potential of LAB as biocontrol agents against postharvest rot. [Int Microbiol 2008; 11(4):231-236]

Pseudomonas fluorescens EPS62e was selected during a screening procedure for its high efficacy in controlling infections by Erwinia amylovora, the causal agent of fire blight disease, on different plant materials. In field trials carried out in pear trees during bloom, EPS62e colonized flowers until the carrying capacity, providing a moderate efficacy of fire-blight control. The putative mechanisms of EPS62e antagonism against E. amylovora were studied. EPS62e did not produce antimicrobial compounds described in P. fluorescens species and only developed antagonism in King’s B medium, where it produced siderophores. Interaction experiments in culture plate wells including a membrane filter, which physically separated the cultures, confirmed that inhibition of E. amylovora requires cell-to-cell contact. The spectrum of nutrient assimilation indicated that EPS62e used significantly more or different carbon sources than the pathogen. The maximum growth rate and affinity for nutrients in immature fruit extract were higher in EPS62e than in E. amylovora, but the cell yield was similar. The fitness of EPS62e and E. amylovora was studied upon inoculation in immature pear fruit wounds and hypanthia of intact flowers under controlled-environment conditions. When inoculated separately, EPS62e grew faster in flowers, whereas E. amylovora grew faster in fruit wounds because of its rapid spread to adjacent tissues. However, in preventive inoculations of EPS62e, subsequent growth of EPS101 was significantly inhibited. It is concluded that cell-to-cell interference as well as differences in growth potential and the spectrum and efficiency of nutrient use are mechanisms of antagonism of EPS62e against E. amylovora

Four methods were tested to assess the fire-blight disease response on grafted pear plants. The leaves of the plants were inoculated with Erwinia amylovora suspensions by pricking with clamps, cutting with scissors, local infiltration, and painting a bacterial suspension onto the leaves with a paintbrush. The effects of the inoculation methods were studied in dose-time-response experiments carried out in climate chambers under quarantine conditions. A modified Gompertz model was used to analyze the disease-time relatiobbnships and provided information on the rate of infection progression (rg) and time delay to the start of symptoms (t0). The disease-pathogen-dose relationships were analyzed according to a hyperbolic saturation model in which the median effective dose (ED50) of the pathogen and maximum disease level (ymax) were determined. Localized infiltration into the leaf mesophile resulted in the early (short t0) but slow (low rg) development of infection whereas in leaves pricked with clamps disease symptoms developed late (long t0) but rapidly (high rg). Paintbrush inoculation of the plants resulted in an incubation period of medium length, a moderate rate of infection progression, and low ymax values. In leaves inoculated with scissors, fire-blight symptoms developed early (short t0) and rapidly (high rg), and with the lowest ED50 and the highest ymax
