Abstract:

An experiment was conducted in central farm and plant pathology laboratory of Sher-e-Bangla Agriculture University (SAU) design with RCBD in field and CRD in lab to study the screening of selected garlic varieties in field condition against Fusarium rot disease caused by Fusarium proliferatum and study the pathogenicity test by inoculation of Fusarium proliferatum in one selected garlic varieties. In field, the entire experimental plot was divided into three blocks, each of which then divided into 24-unit plots. A total eight varieties viz. BAU Rashun-1, BAU Rashun-2, BARI Rashun-1, BARI Rashun-2, BARI Rashun-3, BARI Rashun-4, Local Deshi and Local Indian were selected to conduct the study. In this study, the highest pre-emergence mortality was observed in BAU Rashun-1 garlic variety with 31.35% germination failure and the lowest were found in BARI Rashun-1 with 14.19% germination failure. The maximum result was found for the post-emergence mortality in BARI Rashun-3 with 13.22% mortality rate after germination and minimum result were found in Local Indian variety 6.15%. In case of disease incidence and disease severity, BARI Rashun-4 showed the highest (25.00%) and (15.57%) susceptibility to Fusarium rot, respectively. Significant growth and yield parameters variations were showed during field experiment. After isolation of Fusarium proliferatum from infected leaf, maximum radial mycelial growth was observed in BARI Rashun-3 (9 mm) compared to others in PDA medium. Pathogenicity test was done with selecting one susceptible variety viz-BARI Rashun-4 in in-vivo condition by inoculating Fusarium proliferatum as soil inoculation. In this condition, 29.62% pre emergence mortality and 49.37% dead garlic seedling was recorded after germination.
