Research Abstract

Replant failure has been a serious limitation for a continuous cropping of red pepper because it is susceptible of phytophthora blight Phytophthora capsici Leonian.
This study has been performed to clarify the microbiological suppression of the cultivated soils against the injury by continuous cropping of red pepper and establish the rational use of antagonistic microorganisms for the biological control. The results presented here show that:
1. Comparing the soils suppressive and conducive to phytophthora blight of red pepper, the magnitude of suppressive force is more closely related to soil microbiological characters than physical and chemical properties of soils.
2. Suppression of the infection of red pepper by P. capsici with application of some organic matters can be rendered decreased in the severity, among of which rice straw amendment was most suppressive during the mild temperature season at autumn.
3. Among antagonistic microorganisms isolated from suppressive soils, Trichoderma viride and Aspergillus niger led the most effectively to lessen infection of red pepper by P. capsici.
4. Suppressive force against Phytophthora blight was closely related to fungilytic action of soils so that the population of the pathogen remarkably decreased.
5. The fungilytic action of soils also well correlated with the activities of both beta-glucanase and cellulase in inculants and soils. chitinase activities however,had no connection with fungilytic action.
6. The hyphal cell wall of P.capsici is primarily made up of beta-glucan and cellulose and contained a few amount of chitin, which suggested that mechanism of fungilytic action against phytopthora blight was attributed to two enzyme activities, hydrolysing the cell wall components.
