| Abstract | |
Yellow or Fusarium Wilt, caused for Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. zingiberi comes assuming great importance in the culture of the ginger due to absence of efficient methods of control. With the objectives to test the thermotherapy associated with the chemical and biological treatment for the healthy attainment of ginger-seed and to evaluate the induction of soil suppressiveness to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. zingiberi with the incorporation of shrimp peel, six experiments had been lead. For the thermal treatment, infested rhizome had been used, with approximately 5cm of length. The used relations time-temperature had been: 45°C for zero, 60, 120 and 180 minutes and 50°C for zero, ten and 20 minutes (experiment 1 and field); 50°C for zero, 30 and 60 minutes and 55°C for zero, 10 and 20 minutes (experiment 2); 50, 55 and 60ºC for zero, 10 and 20 min (experiment 3). Solutions for thermal treatment had been constituted by water, solution of thiophanate methylic and broth leavend for Bacillus subtilis. In the experiment in laboratory, rhizomes had been inoculated artificially. After one week, they had received the thermal treatment 45º C for 60, 120 and 180 minutes and 50ºC and 55ºC for 10 and 20 minutes. After the thermal treatment, segments of rhizomes had been placed in plates, being evaluated for the counting of the segments that presented the growth of the pathogen. In the collection, height, weight of the aerial part and production had been evaluated, and carried through plating of the aerial part, root and rhizome. To verify the possibility of the use of shrimp peel, the soil was infested with isolated the pathogenic one. After one week, had the incorporation of the peel of shrimp to the soil in the concentrations of 0; 2,5; 5; 7,5; 10; 15 and 20% (v/v). The population of Fusarium of the soil and the community of actinomycetes had been evaluated weekly by dilution in series and placed in plates. After eight weeks of the incorporation, the plantation of one rizome-seed of ginger for vase was carried through. In the collection, the evaluation was carried through in the same way that for thermotherapy. Through all the results gotten in the five experiments of thermotherapy, it was verified successfully possibility of use of the technique in the aid to the control of the illness. The best combinations time/temperature had been 45ºC for the time of 120 minutes or 55ºC per 20 minutes in all solutions. In the test with the use of the shrimp peel, it had a reduction of the population of Fusarium and increase of the community of actinomycetes in the soil that had received the incorporation from peel. The addition of peel of shrimp to the soil allows the plantation of the ginger in places where the pathogen is present. (AU) | |
