Two groundnut seed-associated bacterial isolates, GSE 18 and GSE 19, identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, reduced the lesion frequency (LF) by up to 70%. A 90-day-old peat-based formulation of P. aeruginosa GSE 18 reduced LF measured 15 days postinoculation by up to 60%. Both P. aeruginosa GSE 18 and GSE 19 were tolerant to chlorothalonil (Kavach®) up to 2000 µg mL-1 in LB broth. In glasshouse trials, GSE 18 and GSE 19 tested in combination with reduced concentrations of chlorothalonil were highly efficient in management of the disease. The disease was completely controlled by chlorothalonil (>250 µg mL-1), and in the presence of GSE 18 or GSE 19, 100 µg mL-1 chlorothalonil was equally effective. Application of rifamycin-resistant mutants of GSE 18 or GSE 19 together with chlorothalonil significantly increased the survival of these isolates in the groundnut phylloplane. In the field, a combination of GSE 18 and 500 µg mL-1 chlorothalonil reduced disease severity comparable to 2000 µg mL-1 chlorothalonil alone. Use of chlorothalonil-tolerant pseudomonads together with a quarter concentration of the recommended field dose of chlorothalonil doubled pod yield compared with the untreated unsprayed control date: 2005 date_type: published publication: Plant Pathology volume: 54 number: 3 publisher: Blackwell Publishing pagerange: 401-408 refereed: TRUE issn: 0032-0862 official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-3059.2005.01160.x related_url_url: http://scholar.google.co.in/scholar?q=IManagement+of+late+leaf+spot+of+groundnut+%28Arachis+hypogaea%29+with+chlorothalonil-tolerant+isolates+of+Pseudomonas+aeruginosa&hl=en&btnG=Search&as_sdt=1%2C5&as_sdtp=on related_url_type: author funders: Andhra Pradesh-Netherlands Biotechnology Program (APNLBP), Institute of Public Enterprises, Hyderabad India to ARP, and Department for International Development (DFID), UK, to SP citation: Kishore, G K and Pande, S and Podile, A R (2005) Management of late leaf spot of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) with chlorothalonil-tolerant isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
