Email this article Enhanced Systemic Resistance and Yield against Puccinia triticina Eriks in Wheat through Botanicals under In-vivo condition; An Eco-Friendly Approach
Abstract
In present study four types of botanical extracts including neem (Azadirachta indica L.), safeda (Eucalyptus cameldulensis Dehnh.), rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis Spenn.) and ajwain (Trachyspermum-ammi L.) were selected and pre-inoculated on susceptible wheat cultivar “Morocco” to evaluate their effect on oxidative enzyme activity, chlorophyll contents, phenol contents and yield components against Puccinia triticina Eriks under In-vivo conditions during 2018/2019 growing seasons. Coefficient of infection (ACI) for all botanicals ranging between 6.50-16.50 as compared to control (ACI= 78.00) reflect the significant response in reducing infection of leaf rust. Ajwain was the most effective, its efficiency reached 91.66%, similar to the efficiency of fungicide spotless 12.5 WP (93.20%) followed by rosemary (85.25%), neem (82.00%) and safeda (78.84%). Moreover, all tested botanicals significantly increased the wheat yield components. Similarly, the biochemical analysis revealed that chlorophyll contents, oxidative enzymes activities (POX & PPO) and phenol contents in all treated plants increased. We conclude pre-application of botanical extracts is a promising approach for the management of leaf rust of wheat.
