Abstract
Clubroot in brassicas, and viruses carried to lettuce by the
olpidium fungus, are highly destructive diseases that can
infect plants during propagation. There are potential alternatives to current control strategies but they need
to be rigorously tested before being trialled commercially.
The project
New chemical and nonchemical means of killing clubroot and olpidium resting spores were tested and their effectiveness compared against a standard treatment.
Results
Microwaves, pulsed light and ozone appear either to have no
potential or are not commercially viable for killing
the resting spores of these two fungi at present.
Heating at 65ºC for five minutes controlled olpidium
resting spores. They were also controlled by treating with steam for two and a half minutes but higher temperatures were needed for clubroot spores. At the concentrations of
disinfectants initially tested, Jet 5 was more effective than Jet 5 or Difficil-S, following treatment for five
minutes
