Abstract:

Anthracnose disease is a common fungal disease of vegetable soybean, which forms black spots on the pod surface and affects the appearance and quality of fresh pod seriously. It has become one of economically important fungal diseases on vegetable soybean yield in China. To identify the pathogens causing vegetable soybean anthracnose in Zhejiang Province, we collected anthracnose disease samples and isolated the pathogens according to Koch's postulate. The pathogens were further identified based on morphological characteristics and rDNA-ITS sequence analysis in this study. Our results showed that two Colletotrichum species, Colletotrichum truncatum and Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, were the major pathogens causing vegetable soybean anthracnose in this region. To further guide the vegetable soybean anthracnose control using fungicides, we measured the sensitivity of representative strain C. truncatum Cts18 and C. Gloeosporioides Cts22 to commonly used fungicide carbendazim and tebuconazole. Results indicated that the concentration for 50% of maximal effect (EC50) of carbendazim against C. truncatum Cts18 and C. gloeosporioides Cts22 were 2.13 μg·mL-1 and 96.12 μg·mL-1, respectively. The EC50 of tebuconazole against Cts18 and Cts22 were 0.27 μg·mL-1 and 0.63 μg·mL-1, respectively. These results suggested that Cts18 was more sensitive than Cts22 towards the tested fungicides, and tebuconazole is a potential fungicide for managing vegetable soybean anthracnose in fields in this region.
