AB  - Tomato bacterial spot, caused by Xanthomonas spp. complex, is a constant threat to tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) commercial production, but is especially severe in Florida and the southeastern US when weather conditions become conducive for disease development. In an effort to develop more sustainable strategies for reducing severity of the disease, we investigated various combinations of PGPR strains, bacterial antagonists, bacteriophages and SAR inducers (harpin, acibenzolar-S-methyl) in greenhouse and field trials. The idea was to search for alternative treatments that could be integrated with conventional practices, in order to improve disease control and yield responses. After screening single treatments and their combinations for efficacy in a series of greenhouse experiments, acibenzolar-S-methyl (ASM) and phage treatment provided the most promising results. In field trials, carried out in three consecutive seasons, ASM significantly reduced disease severity compared to the untreated control. However, the combination of ASM and formulated host-specific phages provided an additional reduction in disease pressure and resulted in more efficient foliar disease control than ASM, phage, or copper-macozeb alone. Integrated application of phages, ASM and other practices is currently widely used in greenhouses and production fields in Florida as a part of a standard integrated management strategy for tomato bacterial spot control. http://www.actahort.org/books/808/index.htm

AB  - The use of phages for disease control is a fast expanding area of plant protection with great potential to replace the chemical control measures now prevalent. Phages can be used effectively as part of integrated disease management strategies. The relative ease of preparing phage treatments and low cost of production of these agents make them good candidates for widespread use in developing countries as well. However, the efficacy of phages, as is true of many biological control agents, depends greatly on prevailing environmental factors as well as on susceptibility of the target organism. Great care is necessary during development, production and application of phage treatments. In addition, constant monitoring for the emergence of resistant bacterial strains is essential. Phage-based disease control management is a dynamic process with a need for continuous adjustment of the phage preparation in order to effectively fight potentially adapting pathogenic bacteria.

AB  - Bacterial spot of tomato, incited by Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria, is a perennial problem in commercial fields in Florida. Various strategies have been used to control this disease including applying copper bactericides, antibiotics and various other chemicals. Although copper compounds and streptomycin were initially effective in disease control, the presence of strains resistant to these compounds has reduced the efficacy of these compounds. Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) compounds have become a popular alternative to conventional bactericides. One that has shown promise for bacterial spot control is acibenzolar-S-methyl (ASM). Other SAR compounds tested have had variable results. A second strategy which has excellent promise is the application of bacteriophages specific to the bacterial spot pathogen. Following the development of an application strategy, which included a modification in formulation and the timing of bacteriophage applications, bacteriophages were improved in efficacy. We have conducted studies using various combinations of bacteriophages and SAR compounds. In three consecutive seasons, ASM applied in combination with bacteriophage significantly reduced bacterial spot compared to the other treatments. Application of host-specific bacteriophages was effective against the bacterial spot pathogen in all experiments, providing better disease control than copper-mancozeb or untreated control. When results of the disease severity assessments or harvested yield from the bacteriophage-treated plots were grouped and compared to the results of the corresponding non-bacteriophage group, the former provided significantly better disease control and yield of total marketable fruits. Although ASM applications controlled bacterial spot,yield was not significantly improved compared to plots receiving no ASM applications. Bacteriophages offer an excellent alternative to conventional disease control strategies and combining it with ASM shows promise.

AB  - Two strains of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria, two systemic acquired resistance inducers (harpin and acibenzolar-S-methyl), host-specific unformulated bacteriophages, and two antagonistic bacteria were evaluated for control of tomato bacterial spot incited by Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria in greenhouse experiments. Untreated plants and plants treated with copper hydroxide were used as controls. The plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria or a tap water control were applied as a drench to the potting mix containing the seedlings, while the other treatments were applied to the foliage using a handheld sprayer. The plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria strains, when applied alone or in combination with other treatments, had no significant effect on bacterial spot intensity. Messenger and the antagonistic bacterial strains, when applied alone, had negligible effects on disease intensity. Unformulated phage or copper bactericide applications were inconsistent in performance under greenhouse conditions against bacterial spot. Although acibenzolar-S-methyl completely prevented occurrence of typical symptoms of the disease, necrotic spots typical of a hypersensitive reaction (HR) were observed on plants treated with acibenzolar-S-methyl alone. Electrolyte leakage and population dynamics experiments confirmed that acibenzolar-S-methyl-treated plants responded to inoculation by eliciting an HR. Application of bacteriophages in combination with acibenzolar-S-methyl suppressed a visible HR and provided excellent disease control. Although we were unable to quantify populations of the bacterium on the leaf surface, indirectly we determined that bacteriophages specific to the target bacterium reduced populations of a tomato race 3 strain of the pathogen on the leaf surface of acibenzolar-S-methyl-treated plants to levels that did not induce a visible HR. Integrated use of acibenzolar-S-m ethyl and phages may complement each other as an alternative management strategy against bacterial spot on tomato.

AB  - Bacteriophages are currently used as an alternative method for controlling bacterial spot disease on tomato incited by Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria. However, the efficacy of phage is greatly reduced due to its short residual activity on plant foliage. Three formulations that significantly increased phage longevity on the plant surface were tested in field and greenhouse trials: (i) PCF, 0.5% pregelatinized corn flour (PCF) + 0.5% sucrose; (ii) Casecrete, 0.5% Casecrete NH-400 + 0.5% sucrose + 0.25% PCF; and (iii) skim milk, 0.75% powdered skim milk + 0.5% sucrose. In greenhouse experiments, the nonformulated, PCF-, Casecrete-, and skim milk-formulated phage mixtures reduced disease severity on plants compared with the control by 1, 30, 51, and 62%, respectively. In three consecutive field trials, nonformulated phage caused 15, 20, and 9% reduction in disease on treated plants compared with untreated control plants, whereas plants treated with PCF- and Casecrete-formulated phage had 27, 32, and 12% and 30, 43, and 24% disease reduction, respectively. Plants receiving copper-mancozeb treatments were included in two field trials and had a 20% decrease in disease in the first trial and a 13% increase in the second one. Skim milk-formulated phage was tested only once and caused an 18% disease reduction. PCF-formulated phage was more effective when applied in the evening than in the morning, reducing disease on plants by 27 and 13%, respectively. The Casecrete-formulated phage populations were over 1,000-fold higher than the nonformulated phage populations 36 h after phage application.

abstract = "Bacteriophages are currently used as an alternative method for controlling bacterial spot disease on tomato incited by Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria. However, the efficacy of phage is greatly reduced due to its short residual activity on plant foliage. Three formulations that significantly increased phage longevity on the plant surface were tested in field and greenhouse trials: (i) PCF, 0.5% pregelatinized corn flour (PCF) + 0.5% sucrose; (ii) Casecrete, 0.5% Casecrete NH-400 + 0.5% sucrose + 0.25% PCF; and (iii) skim milk, 0.75% powdered skim milk + 0.5% sucrose. In greenhouse experiments, the nonformulated, PCF-, Casecrete-, and skim milk-formulated phage mixtures reduced disease severity on plants compared with the control by 1, 30, 51, and 62%, respectively. In three consecutive field trials, nonformulated phage caused 15, 20, and 9% reduction in disease on treated plants compared with untreated control plants, whereas plants treated with PCF- and Casecrete-formulated phage had 27, 32, and 12% and 30, 43, and 24% disease reduction, respectively.
