Spinach Diseases Common Names of Plant Diseases: Spinach : http://www.apsnet.org/online/common/names/spinach.asp 3 bacterial diseases (caused by 3 bacterial species) 14 fungal diseases (caused by ~26 species of fungi) 6 viral diseases (caused by >10 viruses) 1 phytoplasmadisease Numerous abiotic disorders (physiological, nutritional, genetic, chemical, environmental, mechanical)

Diagnosis of Spinach Diseases Visual observation of symptoms Collate data on crop history, cultivar, pattern/timing of symptom development, etc. Microscopic examination Isolate pathogens Test plant tissues ELISA (antibodies) DNA or RNA Nutrient tests (plants/soil) WSU/OSU Plant Clinics http://www.puyallup.wsu.edu/plantclinic/ Tel: 253-445-4582 http://www.bcc.orst.edu/bpp/plant_clinic/index.htm Tel: 541-737-3472

Spinach seedling diseases: Seed rot Seedling blight Damping-off (pre- & post-emergence) Wilt

Photos by L.J. du Toit Seedling blight: Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. spinaciae

Photos by J. Brantner Water mold seedling blights: Pythium spp., Aphanomyces spp.

Photos by L.J. du Toit Seedling blight: Rhizoctonia solani

Management of seedling blights & damping-off: Crop rotation (all soilborne pathogens) Promote rapid & vigorous germination & emergence avoid planting in poorly-drained soils (especially for Pythium spp.) avoid planting in cool conditions (delay germination & emergence) plant clean seed lots of high vigor Plant partially resistant cultivars Spinach seed treatments only F. oxsyporum f. sp. spinaciae is seedborne conventional fungicides effective vs. Pythium few organic options: T-22 Planter Box (efficacy unknown)

Management of spinach wilt diseases: Fusarium oxysporum vs. Verticillium dahliae Rotation Plant clean seed Seed treatments Minimize water stress Resistant cultivars Planting time Soil amendments Fusarium wilt 5 years (resistant cv s) >10 years (susceptible cv s) Hot water, Natural II? Partial resistance (e.g., St. Helens, Jade, Chinook II, Skookum) Plant early (minimize transpirational stress during flowering & seed set) Lime (raise soil ph & Ca), green manures (mustards) Verticillium wilt 5 years (avoid susceptible crops like potato) Hot water, Natural II?? Plant early? Green manures (mustards, corn, broccoli)?

Virus diseases of spinach in the PNW: Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) Beet western yellows virus (BWYV) Beet curly top virus (BCTV)

Photo by L.J. du Toit Virus diseases of spinach: Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV)

Virus diseases of spinach: Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) crown leaves narrow, curled, wrinkled, margins roll in yellow & green mosaic on leaves, which may die stunting symptoms develop faster at high temperatures transmitted by many aphid species (non-persistently) very broad host range, including many vegetables (especially cucurbits) overwinters in perennial weeds, builds up in vegetables 2 main strains: subgroup I & subgroup II seedborne & seed transmitted (subgroup II only?)

Virus diseases of spinach: Beet western yellows virus (BWYV) Photos by L.J. du Toit - interveinal yellowing (old leaves 1 st ) - thick, leathery, brittle leaves - vectored persistently by aphids - broad host range (many weeds) - NOT seedborne

Beet curly top virus (BCTV) - vector = beet leafhopper - very broad host range - yellow & rolled leaves - stunted or dead plants - NOT seedborne

Management of virus diseases of spinach in the PNW: CMV BWYV BCTV Rotation (short term) (short term) (short term) Avoid green bridges (spinach, other crop & weed hosts) Plant clean seed - - Do not harvest seed from infected plants - - Seed treatments Hot water? - - Resistant cultivars?? Control vector Aphicides Aphicides?

Management of Spinach Diseases in Organic Systems Familiar with resistance of cultivars to specific diseases Familiar with prevalent diseases in your area Plant clean seed (certified, if possible) Diligently use sound cultural practices appropriate crop rotations row spacing & orientation irrigation system & timing avoid green bridges (weed hosts, volunteers, & alternative hosts) remove/incorporate residues minimize stress to the crop Monitor crops regularly Use local diagnostic resources
