1 Pepper disease control Parm Randhawa,, Ph.D. California Seed & Plant Lab

2 Agenda Symptom recognition Where the disease come from Disease Management Check list

3 Disease control in greenhouse Depends on Growing in soil Containers (with potting mix) Hydroponic (Rockwool etc)

4 Fusarium stem rot

5 Fusarium - Infection at nodes

6 Red perithecia (Sexual spores can discharge to 6 ft at night

7 Fusarium How is pathogen introduced Soil (people, tools) Previous crop (debris etc) Airborne ascospores

8 Fusarium - Control Avoid salt burn (if rockwool dries) Reduce humidity (slow temp increase at night) Bio-control

9 Fusarium like symptoms Water soaking Erwinia stem canker

10 Erwinia carotovora How pathogen get introduced Irrigation with untreated water (ponds, rivers) Handling from people (hands)

11 Erwinia - Control Treat water (1 ppm Chlorine kills in 30 seconds) Workers (wash hands)

12 Xanthomonas

13 Xanthomonas control Buy tested seed Resistant varieties (multiple races) Actiguard (induces resistance) Copper / Maneb sprays Bacterio-phage application can help

14 Anthracnose (fruit rot)

15 Anthracnose control Seed treatment Debris removal

16 Damping off - nursery problem

17 Damping off - control Disease free media (steamed) Sanitation (trays etc) Raised benches Do not over water Treated water 2-Fungicide drench can help (Ridomil + Topsin M)

18 Sudden Wilt Phytophthora capsici

19 Phytophthora: All parts nfected

20 Phytophthora Where it comes from Seed borne? Wind blown rains bring spores from other plants (tomato, cucurbits, weeds) Irrigation water (rivers) Soil movement (oospores survive) Fungus gnats Disease develops in 3-4 days after infection

21 Phytophthora Management Treat water Disinfection of nursery containers Fungicides Good drainage (drainage area Keep weed free) Lab ID should be done to select correct fungicide

22 Control with Revus + Rodomil

23 Black sclerotia inside stem White mold on stem Sclerotinia white mold Germinating sclerotia

24 Sclertotinia control Cool moist weather disease Air circulation Sanitation Topsin M

25 Southern blight - management Hot weather disease Sanitation Aeration Spot application of fungicides (Quadris etc)

26 Other fungal / bacterial diseases Bacteria Ralstonia, Pseudomonas syringae Fungi Pow mildew, Verticillium, Cercospora, Stemphyllum, Downy mildew, gray leaf spot I have assumed that these are less frequent in greenhouse pepper culture

27 Viruses Cause malformation but do not kill Many viruses same symptom One virus many symptoms Symptoms provide a clue but Lab test is needed for Identification

28 How viruses get introduced Aphids Thrips White fly Leaf hopper Seed Cucumber mosaic, Potato virus Y, Tobacco Etch, Alfalfa mosaic, Pepper mottle Tomato spotted wilt Chino del tomate, Pepper mild tigre, Pepper hausteco, Sinaloa leaf curl Beet curly top Tobacco mosaic, tomato mosaic, pepper mild mottle

29 15-Virus PCR test Test DNA Viruses Gemini group (CdTV, PHV, SLCV, TPV, SGMV), BCTV RNA TSWV, TMV, ToMV, CMV, PMMV, TEV, PVY, AMV, PMV

30 Aphid transmitted viruses

31 CMV

32 Chilli Veinal mottle

33 Tobacco etch

34 Potato virus Y

35 Alalfa mosaic virus Bleaching of leaves

36 Thrips transmitted viruses

37 Tomato spotted wilt

38 White fly transmitted

39 Gemini viruses (DNA viruses)

40 Chino del tomate virus (CdDT)

41 Serrano Golden Mosaic

42 Texas pepper virus

43 Leaf hopper transmitted

44 Beet curly top

45 Seed transmitted viruses

46 Tobacco mosaic

47 Tomato mosaic

48 Pepper mild mottle virus

49 Virus control Screens for insect control Hand wash for tobamo viruses Tested seed (for tobamo viruses) No smoking (for TMV) Weed removal Stylet oil sprays for aphid borne Insecticides

50 Color spots (varietal) Cracking (water imbalance) Blossom end rot (calcium) Physiology disorders

51 Disease management

52 Virulent Pathogen Susceptible Host Favorable Environment Disease

53 Pathogen elimination Weed removal Insect screens Plastic cover on soil Irrigation water treatment Foot bath Etc

54 Double door for insect control Serves as air-lock

55 Clean cement walkway will keep Crawling insects away (ants)

56 Boot scrubber to reduce soil going into greenhouse

57 Foot bath to sterilize boots Greenshield, Physan20

58 Hand wash station (near entry) (Disease control during pruning, tying, harvesting etc)

59 Weed cloth 10 feet around greenhouse

60 Reflective mulch around greenhouse (to confuse insects)

61 Check for any holes in the screen

62 Debris removal at end of crop Before After

63 Plastic mulch on ground will keep soil pathogen away

64 Another Plastic Surface

65 Cull Pile Away from greenhouse Make hole Cover with soil later on

66 Special care of nursery 1 foot off ground

67 Crop Free Period Solarization (130F)

68 Elimination of susceptible host Resistant varieties are available TMV, PMMV, Xanth, Phytophthora

69 Creating unfavorable environment Heaters for step heating at night Fans to reduce free moisture Fertilizer program for inducing resistance Scouting and treatment to reduce insect /disease pressure Biologicals to slow down disease

70 Discontinuous system is good

71 Aeration and thus disease control is same in this V trellis

72 Keeping pedicel controls postharvest Erwinia soft rot

73 Biologicals keep working against pests Root fungi GSB, PM, DM Rootshield, Pre-stop, Mycostop Rhapsody, Serenade, Sonata

74 Gliocladium (Pre-stop) is parasitic on Rhizoctonia

75 Trichoderma for disease control (harzianum, viride, hamatum species)

76 Scouting for insects / diseases

77 Lab selection Choose a lab that gives quick diagnosis

78 You can send sample to me Packing Pack good Include shipping documents (permit) Use Red /white shipping label (from me) Ship Ready to ship

79 Making action plan Assessment of risk Check list

80 Risk inventory Weeds Other crops Proximity of cull pile History of previous crop Weed risk

81 End of Season: Check List Trash hole is ready Irrigation lines flushed and disinfected Nursery is treated for fungus gnats Foot bath ready Tools, carts etc disinfected Weeds, debris removed Scouting supplies are ready Met with staff and reviewed
