This paper gives an overview of guava wilt disease in South Africa and aspects included are, symptomatology, taxonomy of the pathogen, epidemiology, screening for resistance and management practices. Plant Disease 69:726. Symptoms on trees include wilting, chlorosis and defoliation. Guava wilt disease (GWD) is known from South Africa, Malaysia Taiwan and Thai-land. Anurag Kerketta CHRS, Jagdalpur Diseases of Guava 2. Guava wilt disease (GWD) caused by Nalanthamala psidii, resulted in the loss of more than half the guava production area in the Limpopo and Mpumalanga provinces of South Africa during the 1980s. Effect of temperatur, Schoeman, M.H. Nalanthamala psidii and N. diospyri are pathogenic specifically to their hosts. Bolt, L.C. The guava wilt was first reported in Taiwan during 1926 and in India during 1935. For M. psidii the combination Nalanthamala psidii is proposed. This crop is incited by different … can also be recovered from asymptomatic branches. and Verhoyen, M.N.J. Wilt disease in guava was effectively controlled potential of Bacillus sp. Levubu. Treat guava plant with 0.1% water soluble 8 quinolinol sulphate .it may provide protection to the plant for at least 1 year against wilt. known as ‘Malherbe’, ‘Rousseau’, ‘Du Preez’, ‘Fan Retief’ cultivar was taken to the norther, production area is the Western Cape provi, The total production per annum is approximately 41,000 ton. Guavas were, originally produced mainly for canning, but, 62% (25,420 tons) are used in the processing in, In South Africa the cultivar ‘Fan Retie, guava wilt disease (GWD) was first reported from the south eastern Mpumalanga, Province (Manicom, 1980; Grech, 1985). Misra, A.K., Om Prakash and Pandey, B.K. Wilt in Guava tree is caused by a fungus Fusarium solani or Cephalosporium sp. Anonymous. Guava (Psidium guajava L.) is an important fruit crop of subtropical countries. Schoeman, F.A. after 96 h. Single spore cultures were used. an important fruit of subtropical countries is affected by about 177 pathogens of which, 167 are fungal, 3 bacterial, 3 algal, 3 nematodes and one epiphyte. Appearance of light yellow foliage with loss of turgidity and epinasty. The current status of guava wilt disease in South Africa. Rubrinectria, therefore, is the teleomorph of Nalanthamala, in which the anamorphs are classified as N. vermoesenii, N. diospyri or Nalanthamala sp. 2011. Grech, N.M. 1990. Some chemical changes in guava fruits infected by. Harsh pruning followed by a drench with 0.2% Bavistine or Benlate 4time in a year. A culture filtrate of N. psidii was used to screen guava seedlings in vitro. First external symptom of the disease is the appearance of yellow colouration with slight curling of the leaves of the terminal branches. Wilt is the most destructive disease for guava plant in India and losses due to this disease are [15, 13, 14]. Information Bulletin 137:1-2. Soil-borne vascular wilt pathogens cause among the most devastating plant diseases worldwide. Robinson, T.T. 3). Wilt of guava from India was first reported in 1935 from Allahabad. an important fruit of subtropical countries is affected by about 177 pathogens of which, 167 are fungal, 3 bacterial, 3 algal, 3 nematodes and one epiphyte. Psidium guajava wilt is known from South Africa, Malaysia and Taiwan. Th, Agricultural Research Council - Institute fo, seedlings in vitro. Nalanthamala squamicola, the only other Nalanthamala species, has affinities with the Bionectriaceae and is excluded from this group. Red/brown blisters containing masses of spores. CSFRI Information Bulletin 218:8. eld, M.J., Schoeman, M.H., Yen, Y.F., Shen, ation on the incubation period and disease, for all isolates, except for isolate PREM, va plants incubated at 20-24, 24-28 and 28-. Production of pectolytic and cellulolytic enzymes. Eventually the whole tree will die. 1991. In Trial 1 plants were evaluated according to a disease severity scale. The total production per annum is approximately 41,000 tons. The guava industry in South Africa was established in the Western Cape Province in the early 1900s and in the Limpopo and Mpumalanga Provinces in 1938. have been evaluated since the first outbr, measures currently applied by producers are th, diesel as soon as the first symptoms appear. Several pathogenic fungi, nematodes and bacteria were found associated with the wilted trees of guava around the world; however, Fusariumspp. Epidemiology and control of guava wilt disease. Fusarium wilt is a common vascular wilt fungal disease, exhibiting symptoms similar to Verticillium wilt.This disease has been investigated extensively since the early years of this century. Discipline of Plant Pathology . Selections from these led to cultivars. Two resistant guava rootstocks, TS-G1 and ‘TS-G2’, were developed by the ARC-ITSC in 1995. Schoeman, M.H. Benade, E., Kemp, G.H.J., Wingfield, M.J. and Kock, J.F.L. Increased demand for guavas. Initially the ‘TS-G1’ and ‘TS-G2’, f’ cultivar, but currently ungrafted ‘TS-G2’, rol methods. Although species diagnosis was possible, it was not possible to show geographic distribution- or determine pathogenicity relationships between isolates. Guava wilt disease (GWD), caused by Nalanthamala psidii, is a serious disease occurring in the guava-producing areas of the Mpumalanga and Limpopo provinces of South Africa. However, the primary infection site of the pathogen remains controversial. of fungal origin, bacterial, algal and nematodes, are found to cause various type of disease. Comparison of This tends to slow the spread, but there, progress or will eradicate the disease. Guava wilting disease in. The guava export market amounts 20% and constitutes mainly guava puree and pulp. Guava wilt disease appeared soil borne and may spread through nursery stock grown in contaminated soil and resulting in disease transmission from diseased to clean orchards (Usman and Shah, 2013). Ten promising selecti, evaluations demonstrated that the yield and, commercially acceptable and Plant Breeder, obtained to Selection ‘TS-G2’ in January, rootstocks were grafted with the ‘Fan Retie, Africa, which affected the resistant ‘TS-G2’, As the resistant ‘TS-G2’ rootstock selection is also now susceptible to the newly, in the form of chemical and biological cont, on the screening of seed for resistance against. Wilt of guava from India was first reported in 1935 from Allahabad. Two resistant rootstocks 'TS-G1' and 'TSG2' were developed by the Agricultural Research Council's Institute for Tropical and Subtropical Crops (ARC-ITSC) by 1995, and Plant Breeders Rights were granted to 'TS-G2' in 2000. Diseases of Guava 1. Sparse foliage, yellowing of Guava plant leaves, and tree wilting are the symptoms. Nalanthamala psidii, the palm pathogen Gliocladium (Penicillium) vermoesenii, another undescribed ana- morphic species from palm, two species of Rubrinec- tria and the persimmon pathogen Acremonium dios- pyri are monophyletic and belong to the Nectriaceae (Hypocreales) based on partial nuclear large subunit ribosomal DNA (LSU rDNA) analyses.
