Dissemination/dispersal/transmission
Transport of spores or infectious bodies, acting as inoculum, from one host to another host at various distances resulting in the spread of the disease.
or
Displacement of a plant pathogen from its place of production or origin to a suitable place where it can grow/establish
![Page 5: Dispersal of Plant Pathogens](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020709/5541ba9c55034661368b4571/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
EFFECTIVE DISPERSAL
If displacement occurs on a susceptible host and where the environment is suitable, the pathogen can grow and multiply
Ineffective Dispersal
When plant pathogen does not get any medium for its survival. For example, if it falls on a stone

Why Pathogen Disseminate
•Food and nutrition•Survival•Complete life cycle•Reproduction

1. Autonomous or direct or active dispersal In this method the dispersal of plant pathogens
takes place through soil, seed and planting material during normal agronomic operations. There is no major role of external agencies like insects, wind, water, etc. in this type of dispersal.
2. Indirect or passive dispersal------- insects, wind, water, etc. in this type of dispersal insects, wind, water, Human
The dispersal of infectious plant pathogens in space occurs through two ways:
![Page 9: Dispersal of Plant Pathogens](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020709/5541ba9c55034661368b4571/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Wind as a means of dispersal
Short distance disseminationsporangia of downy mildew fungi, conidia of powdery mildew fungi and basidiospores of rust fungi
•Uredospores of rust fungi, Chlamydospores of smut fungi and conidia of Alternaria, Helminthosporium and Pyricularia,
Long Distance
![Page 10: Dispersal of Plant Pathogens](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020709/5541ba9c55034661368b4571/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Wind
Wind disseminating fungi•Numerous spore•discharge of spores with sufficient force• Light in weight• smaller size•Thich outer wall•Less affinity to water
•E.g. Most fungi except synchytriaceae, Plasmodiophoromyces, fusarium
BacteriaX. malvacearum, Erwinia amylovora
NematodeAnguina tritici, Heterodera
Virus Vector•19 Viruses and phytoplasmas –• insect and mite vectors by wind
![Page 11: Dispersal of Plant Pathogens](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020709/5541ba9c55034661368b4571/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Periodicity of wind– Diurnal– Nocturnal
• Turbulance in air• Air current
– Steady-horizontal– Breeze & turbulance-Vertical– Irregular-Multidimensional
Record of air velocity and direction tells the direction and distance of spore dispersal and thereby helps to forecast neww disease outbreak is likely to occur

Factors affecting wind disemination

Some Example:
•P.Graminis tritici•Horizontal---600Km•Altitude-------500m above of the infected field
•P. Infestans•Horizontal---200m to 600Km
•Spores of Molds•Aspergillus•Penicillium•Cladosporium
• Altitude----------2000m above

Surface running water
after heavy rains
during irrigation: canals and wells
Ex: The mycelial fragments, spores or sclerotia of fungi,
Colletotrichum falcatum, Fusarium, Ganoderma, Macrophomina,
Pythium, Phytophthora, Sclerotium, etc.,
Long distance ------ floods
Dispersal by water
![Page 15: Dispersal of Plant Pathogens](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020709/5541ba9c55034661368b4571/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
By rain splash ------------splash dispersal• Most efficient meas for bacteria.
• Rain drops falling with force on sori, pustules, cankers or even soil surface may splash the propagules
– in small droplets and enable them to land on neighbouring healthy susceptible surfaces or
– the water droplets may be carried to long distances by air.
• Ex: Bacterial leaf spot of rice (Xanthomonas campestris pv. oryzae), Bacterial leaf streak of rice (Xanthomonas campestris pv. oryzicola)
• Fungal spores and bacteria present in the air or plant surface are washed downward by rain splash or drops from overhead irrigation and are deposited on susceptible healthy plants.

1) Animate agentsInsects
Fungal pathogens:
honey secretions having attractive odours.
Ex: Sugary disease of sorghum
Bacterial pathogens
Cucumber wilt- E. tracheiphila --------stripped cucumber beetles (Acalymma vittata) a-
---------spotted cucumber beetle (Diabrotica undecimipunctata).
Viral pathgens:• More than 80 % of viral and phytoplasmall diseases • Laegest family- Homoptera- Aphids and leaf hoppers• mealy bugs and scale insects (Coccoidae)• whiteflies (Aleurodidae) • hoppers (Membracidae) in Homoptera also transmit virus diseases. •

Specificity of Insect Transmission
Aphids----------------Mosaic group---------------Tomato mosaic, Papaya mosaic, potato leaf roll, chilli mosaic
Leaf Hopper---------Yellows ---------------------------------Tungro of rice
Thrips------------------Spots with concentric ring---------Pineaple yellow spots
Whiteflies-------------Thickening of veins/veinlets------Tobacco leaf curl, Tomato leaf curl

e) Human beings- more direct than indirect
• Transportation of seeds (seed trade): Ex: Late blight of potato, Downy mildew of grapevine, Citrus canker, Fusarium wilt of banana, etc.
• Planting diseased seed materials: Planting diseased bulbs, bulbils, corms, tubers, rhizomes, cuttings, etc., of
• During adoption of normal farming practices:• Cultivation, planting, irrigation, weeding, pruning etc., • Spores can be carried by workers clothing’s, shoes, and hands etc., • By use of contaminated implements: • By use of diseased grafting and budding material
![Page 19: Dispersal of Plant Pathogens](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020709/5541ba9c55034661368b4571/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
f) Dispersal by phanerogamic parasites:
• Phanerogamic parasites transmit the viruses by acting as a bridge between the diseased and healthy plants.
• Ex: Dodder(Cuscuta California, C. campesris, C. subinclusa etc.)
• Cuscuta subinclusa----Cucumber mosaic virus • Cuscuta california -----Tobacco mosaic virus, Tobacco rattle
virus, Tomato spotted wilt virus • Cuscuta campestris - Tomato bushy stunt virus

g) Role of birds• Disperse flowering parasites and certain fungi. • Stem segments of dodder are carried by birds for preparing
their nests • Seeds of Loranthus • Spores of chestnut blight fungus• Cleistothecia of many powdery mildew fungi are carried by
feathers of birds.

Farm and wild animals:Cattle feeding on diseased fodder ingest the
viable fungal propagules (spores or oospores or sclerotia) and pass out as such in the dung.
soil inhabiting fungi especially sclerotia adhere to the hoofs and legs of animals and get transported to other places.
