LEAF BLIGHT OF ROSE
Sensitivity of Botrytis cinerea to Carbendazim.
(IN VITRO STUDY)
Rosa floribunda plants exhibiting the leaf blight symptoms were collected from
different localities of Maharashtra from polyhouses and gardens. From these samples
ten isolates of Botrytis cinerea were obtained.
Sensitivity of Botrytis cinerea to carbendazim was determined by food
poisoning test ( Dakker and Gielink1979).The agar plates were prepared containing
different concentration of carbendazim. Disc (8mm) with fungal cultures were taken
from the margin of an actively growing colony and placed on agar surface, the plates
were then inoculated at 28+2 ºC in dark and linear growth was measured at different
time intervals .Plates without fungicides served as control.
(IN VIVO) STUDIES.
The sensitivity of ten isolates of Botrytis cinerea to carbendazim was
determined on rose plants. These plants were grown in earthen pots and kept in
departmental wire house. The different concentrations of fungicides were sprayed on
three month old rose plant. After 24 hrs. of fungicide treatment Botrytis cinerea
spore suspension was inoculated on the plants with the help of 0.5 mm Camlin hair
brush. The plants were covered with polyethen bags to maintain the r.h. The plants
sprayed with distilled water were treated as control .The plants without any treatment
were served as absolute control. After 10 days of inoculation the percentage of
infection of the disease was recorded, by following literature Kareem(2007)
It was observed that there was variation in MIC of the carbendazim against
Botrytis cinerea on Rosa floribunda (Table 48). The isolate BC-9 (MIC-60) from
156
Shindhudurg was most sensitive to carbendazim and isolate BC-8 (MIC-800) from
Pune was most resistant to carbendazim.
Dose response curve of Botrytis cinerea isolates to carbendazim are shown in
Figs. 1 to 5. In in vitro it appeared that with the increase concentration of carbendazim
in medium, there was decrease in the radial growth of Botrytis cinerea there are five
group of Botrytis cinerea isolates According to their sensitivity to carbendazim.
Group-A MIC from 100to200 µg/ml (BC-9,10), Group-B ranging MIC from 300 to
400 µg/ml- (BC-3,BC-6,BC-7) , Group-C- Ranging MIC from 500 to 600 µg/ml
(BC-4)., Group-D- Ranging MIC from700 to 800 µg/ml and (BC-2,BC-5) Group-E
Ranging MIC from 900 to 1000 µg/ml. (BC-1,BC-08 ) Isolate BC-8 from Pune was
highly resistant with MIC 1000 µg/ml. Somewhat similar results were obtained in in
vivo experiments.

Effect of passage on development of carbendazim resistance in Botrytis cinerea
In vitro studies:-
Effect of continuous and alternate treatment of two fungicides with different
mode of action and a mixture of both on the development of carbendazim resistance
in Botrytis cinerea was studied In vitro. For this wild sensitive isolate (BC-9) was
cultured for eight successive passages on Czapek Dox Agar plates containing
Benomyl, Ridomil MZ ,Kocide, and Dhanuka alternating or mixed with carbendazim.
The concentration of fungicides was kept constant for all the passages.
Continuous and alternate treatment with carbendazim:-
Wild sensitive isolate BC-9 was cultured on plates containing carbendazim at
MIC level 100 μg/ml for eight successive passages. An 8 mm diameter agar disc from
the margin of actively growing colony taken from culture of the previous passage was
placed at the centre of each plate in triplicate. In each passage linear mycelium growth
was measured after 4 days.
The increase or decrease in the radial growth from passage to passage was
employed as a criterion for the development of carbendazim resistance. It was seen
that growing of Botrytis cinerea on the medium containing carbendazim for eight
successive passages continuously significantly increased the carbendazim resistance.
When the pathogen was cultured alternately with other fungicides there was
decrease in the development of carbendazim resistance. Carbendazim when used
alternately with Benomyl and Ridomil there was complete inhibitions of Botrytis
cinerea at 2nd passage only, Dhanuka inhibited the growth at fourth passage and
Kocide inhibited the growth of the pathogen at the sixth passage.

In Vivo studies:
1. Continuous passage:
To study the effect of continuous passage, on the development of fungicide
resistance, in the pathogen, in vivo, 10 ml mycelial suspension of one culture tube of
wild sensitive isolate ( BC-9) was inoculated on the healthy rose plant, treated with 60
µg/ml Carbendazim, 24hrs before, continuously for eight successive passages. It was
observed that there was increased rate of infection to the rose plant.
2. Alternate passage:
To study the effect of alternate passage, on the development of fungicide
resistance, in the pathogen, in vivo, 10ml mycelial suspension of one culture tube of
wild sensitive isolate (BC-9) was inoculated on healthy plant of Rosa floribunda
treated with carbendazim altering with Benomyl, Ridomil MZ, Kocide, and Dhanuka
24hrs before, continuously for eight successive passages. Benomyl and Ridomil
prevented the infection of the pathogen at the second passage only. Kocide and,
Dhanuka prevented the infection of the pathogen at the third passage.

3. Mixed Passage:
To study the effect of mixed passage, on the development of fungicide
resistance, in the pathogen, in vivo, 10 ml mycelial suspension of one culture tube of
wild sensitive isolate (BC-9) was inoculated on the healthy Plant, the plants were
treated with solution of carbendazim along with Benomyl, Ridomil MZ Kocide, and
Dhanuka in equal volume, 24hrs before, this was repeated for eight successive
passages.
In each type of passage mentioned above, the plants were covered with
polythene bags. Percentage of the infection on rose plant were recorded after each
passage and used as a criterion for the development of resistance in the pathogen.
Binomyl, Ridomil in mixture with carbendazim prevented the infection of the
pathogen to the rose plant at first passage .While kocide and Dhanuka prevented the
infection of the pathogen at the second passage. (Table 52 and Fig. 69)

Physiology of sensitive and resistant isolates of Botrytis cinerea.
Effect of different sources like Carbon, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Sulphate, Salts,
Micronutrients, Vitamins and Amino acids on the growth of Botrytis cinerea was
studied by amending them in the Czapek Dox Agar medium. Growth of sensitive and
resistant isolates of Botrytis cinerea was compared with control.
Carbohydrate nutrition:-
Various carbohydrates (3%) were incorporated in the CDA medium and linear
growth of sensitive BC-9 and resistant BC-8 isolate was recorded at various intervals.
It appeared that sugars are essential for growth of both the isolates of Botrytis cinerea
.There was highly significant increase in the growth of both the isolates when
compared with control. The growth rate of resistant BC-8was always higher than the
sensitive BC-9 isolate on the all sugars. Sucrose. Maltose, fructose, Dextrose,
stimulated the growth of sensitive and resistant isolates of Botrytis cinerea. While
Lactose inhibited the growth both the isolates of Botrytis cinerea.
(Table 53 and Fig.70 and 71)
Nitrogen nutrition:-
Peptone, ammonium nitrate, potassium nitrate and sodium nitrate were
incorporated in medium at 0.2%. There was slightly variation in the growth of both
the isolates, between nitrogen sources. Growth rate of resistant strain was found to be
always higher than the sensitive one. Growth rate of the resistant and sensitive
isolates were found to be higher on Peptone, sodium and ammonium nitrate. These
three nitrogen sources stimulate the growth of Botrytis cinerea. While potassium
nitrate inhibited the growth of both the isolates of Botrytis cinerea
(Table 54 and Fig.72 and 73)
171
Phosphate nutrition:-
Three phosphate sources at 0.1% concentration were used in this study. There
was slight variation in the growth of both the sensitive and resistant isolate at various
incubation periods. Ammonium dihydrogen orthophosphate and sodium dihydrogen
orthophosphate were inhibitory to the growth of sensitive and resistant isolates of
Botrytis cinerea. While potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate stimulated the growth
of sensitive and resistant isolates Botrytis cinerea. (Table 55 and Fig.74and 75 )
Sulphate nutrition:-
Magnesium sulphate and potassium sulphate were incorporated in the medium
at 0.05%. There was highly significant variation in the growth of both the sensitive
and resistant isolates between various sulphate sources and various incubation
periods. Among these sulphate sources it is found that Magnesium sulphate stimulated
the growth of the sensitive and resistant isolates. But potassium sulphate inhibited the
growth of the both isolates. (Table-56 and Fig. 76 and 77)
Effect of salts:-
Altogether 4 salts were used in this study. Magnesium chloride, Potassium
chloride, , sodium chloride, and calcium chloride were incorporated in medium at
0.05 % concentration and discs (8 mm) of sensitive and resistant isolates were
inoculated on the plates. There was variation in growth of both the isolates between
various salts sources and various incubation periods. Growth of resistant isolate was
found to be higher than the sensitive .All salts stimulated the growth Botrytis cinerea.
(Table-57 and Fig. 78 and 79)
172
Vitamin nutrition:-
Four vitamins were tested for the growth of the sensitive and resistant isolate at
the 0.01% concentration amended in CDA medium. There was variation in growth of
both the sensitive and resistant isolates between various incubation periods. Resistant
isolate showed higher growth rate than the sensitive isolate. All Vitamins stimulated
the growth of both the isolates of Botrytis cinerea
(Table-58 and Fig. 80 and 81).
Effect of Micronutrients:-
Mn, Cu, Co, Zn and Mo were tested for the growth of sensitive and resistant
isolate of Botrytis cinerea to carbendazim. Manganese stimulated the growth of
Pathogens while Copper, cobalt, zinc, and Molybdenum reduced the growth of both
the sensitive and resistant isolates of Botrytis cinerea
(Table-59and Fig. 82 and 83)
173
Amino acid nutrition:-
Altogether nine amino acids were used in this study. There was variation in the
growth of the sensitive and resistant isolates on different amino acids. T Cystine
Tryptophan and Tyrosine reduced the growth of the pathogen, While Glycine,
Phenylalanine, Proline, Serine, Alanine, and Histidine stimulated growth of both the
sensitive and resistant isolates of Botrytis cinerea.

BIOCHEMICAL CHAACTERISICS OF SENSITIVE AND RESITANT
ISOLATE OF BOTRYTIS CINEREA.
This was studied by inoculating the Rosa floribunda plants with spore
suspension of resistant isolate and sensitive isolate of Botrytis cinerea. After 10 days
of inoculation, the infected plants were collected and dried at 40 C̊ in hot air oven
and powder was obtained in grinder. The oven dried leaf powder used for analysis of
total soluble sugar, reducing sugar,starch, polyphenols ,DNA,RNA, and total ash.
Results in (Table 61) indicated that when compared with healthy plant, total sugar,
reducing sugar, DNA, RNA content of host plant were reduced due to infection of
sensitive and resistant isolates of Botrytis cinerea. While starch ,total ash and phenol
content were increased in the host plant which is infected by resistant isolate of
Botrytis cinerea.

Synergistic effects of agrochemicals on the carbendazim resistance in Botrytis
cinerea.
In vitro studies:-
Agrochemicals such as Fungicides, Insecticides, Herbicides, Antibiotics, Salts,
Fertilizers and Micronutrients were mixed with carbendazim in the CDA medium.
Carbendazim resistant BC-8 isolate was inoculated on to the plates and linear growth
was measured after four days. Increased growth over carbendazim alone ‘control’ was
considered as increase in the resistance or vice-versa.
Fungicides:-
Benomyl, Ridomil MZ, and Kocide-101 were used for this study. These
fungicides were mixed with carbendazim (1000 µg/ml) at various concentrations (25,
50, 75 and 100 µg /ml). Benomyl and Ridomil MZ, fungicides inhibited the growth of
the pathogen at 25 µg /ml. While Kocide reduced the growth of the pathogen with the
increase in its concentration in the plates, as compared to carbendazim alone
‘control’. (Table 62 and Fig.86)
Insecticides:-
Dunet, Krinet and Monosaan were mixed with carbendazim (1000 µg/ml). It
was observed that Dunet and Krinet insecticides inhibited the growth of resistant
isolate of Botrytis cinerea at 25µg/ml of insecticides. While Monosaan inhibited the
growth of the pathogen at 75 µg/ml. (Table 63 and Fig.87)
192
Herbicides:-
Sencor, Kleen-80, Krizin and Atrazin were mixed with carbendazim to study
the effect of herbicides on the carbendazim resistant isolate (BC-8). Kleen-80 and
Krizin inhibited the growth of the pathogen at 50µg/ml, while Atrazin inhibited the
growth of the pathogen at 75µg/ml. And Sencor reduced growth of pathogen with
increased its concentration in the medium. (Table 64 and Fig.88)
Antibiotics:-
Streptomycin, Oflaxacin-400, Griseofulvin and Cefixime were mixed with
carbendazim (1000 µg/ml) at 0.1 to o.4 µg/ml. All these antibiotics reduced growth of
the pathogen with increase in their concentration in the medium.
(Table 65 and Fig.89)
Salts:-
Altogether four salts were incorporated in the medium along with carbendazim
(1000 µg/ml) All these salts reduced the growth of pathogen with increase in their
concentration in plates as compared with carbendazim alone ‘control’. (Table 66and
Fig.90)
193
Fertilizers:-
Urea, Muriate of potash, Samarth (10:26:26) and DAP (18:46:0) were mixed
with carbendazim (1000 µg/ml) at 0.1 to 0.4 % concentration. From these Samarth
and DAP inhibited the growth of the pathogen at 0.1%, and muriate of potash
inhibited the growth of the pathogen at 0.2%. While Urea reduced the growth of
pathogen with increased in its concentration in the plates. (Table 67 and Fig.91)
Micronutrients:-
Fe, Cu, Mn, Mo, Zn and Co was mixed with carbendazim (1000 µg/ml) at
various concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 0.4µg/ml in the medium. It was observed
Zinc and cobalt inhibited the growth of the pathogen completely at 0.1µg/ml. While
remaining micronutrients inhibited the growth of the pathogen as their concentration
increased in the medium (Table 68 and Fig.92)

In vivo studies:
To study synergistic effect of agrochemicals on the development of resistance in
Botrytis cinerea against carbendazim, 10 ml mycelial suspension of one culture tube
of resistant isolate (BC-8) was inoculated on healthy rose plant treated with resistant
dose of carbendazim (800 µg/ml) and other agrochemicals at different concentrations,
24 hrs before. Each rose plant was covered with polythene bag. and Percentage of
infection on rose plant was determined.
Fungicides:-
Benomyl, Ridomil MZ, µg/ml Kocide-101 were mixed with carbendazim (800
µg/ ml) at various concentrations (25, 50, 75 and 100 µg/ml). Benomyl, Ridomil MZ
completely prevented the infection of pathogen to rose plant at 25µg/ml with
carbendazim, while Kocide prevented the infection of pathogen at 75µg/ml with
carbendazim, (Table 69 and Fig. 93)
Insecticides:-
Dunet, Krinet and Monosaan were mixed with carbendazim (800 µg/ ml) at
various concentrations (25, 50, 75 and 100 µg/ml).plants of Rosa floribunda were
treated with these mixtures and inoculated with resistant isolate. All above said
insecticides completely prevented the infection of pathogen to rose plant at 25µg/ml
with carbendazim, , (Table 70 and Fig. 94)
Herbicides:-
Sencor, Kleen-80 and Krizin and Atrazine were mixed with carbendazim (800
µg/ml) at various concentrations (25, 50, 75 and 100 µg/ml). Kleen-80 and Krizin
completely prevented the infection of pathogen to rose plant at 50µg/ml with
carbendazim, and Atrazine prevented the infection of pathogen to rose plant at
209
75µg/ml with carbendazim .While Sencor reduced the infection to the plant as there
was increase in its concentration . , (Table 71 and Fig. 95)
Antibiotics;-
Streptomycin, Oflaxacin-400, Griseofulvin and Cefixime were used for this
study. Among these antibiotics Streptomycin and Oflaxacin-400 prevented the
infection of pathogen to rose plant at 0.1µg/ml with carbendazim. While Griseofulvin
and Cefixime prevented the infection to rose plants by Botrytis cinerea at 0.4µg/ml
(Table 72 and Fig. 96)
Salts:-
Altogether four salts were mixed with carbendazim at (0.1to0.4µg/ml) .
Magnesium chloride and calcium chloride prevented the infection of pathogen to rose
plant at 0.1µg/ml with carbendazim .while potassium chloride and sodium chloride
prevented the infection of pathogen to rose plant at 0.3µg/ml and 0.4µg/ml
respectively with carbendazim, (Table 73 and Fig. 97)
Fertilizers:-
Urea, Muriate of potash, Samarth, and DAP were mixed with carbendazim (800
µg/ml) at (0.1 to 0.4 %) concentrations. DAP and muriate of potash were found very
effective and protected the rose plants from the infection of pathogen at 0.2 and 0.3%
respectively with carbendazim. While Urea and Samarth prevented the infection 0f
Botrytis cinerea to rose plant at 0.4% with carbendazim, (Table 74and Fig. 98).
Micronutrients:-
Fe, Cu, Mn, Mo, Zn and Co were used for this study. From these Cu, Mn, Mo,
Zn and Co were found to very effective in controlling the disease of rose plants at
0.1µg/ ml with carbendazim. While iron protected the rose plants from disease at 0.3
µg/ ml along with the carbendazim. (Table 75and Fig. 99)

Percentage control efficacy (PCE) of agrochemicals:-
The percentage control efficacy (PCE) of each agrochemical was calculated by using
the formula given by (Kamble 1991).
PCE=100(1-x/y) where,
X = diameter of colony on agar medium amended with fungicide.
Y= diameter of colony on agar medium without fungicide.
In Vitro study
100 percent control of leaf blight of rose was due to the treatment of
carbendazimwith other agrochemicals.Moreover, this control was seen to be at
thelower concentration 100% PCE was found in the mixture of carbendazim with
Benomyl, Ridomil, Dunet, krinet at 25 µg/ ml.In kleen and Krizin 100% PCE was at
50 µg/ ml and in Monosaan and atrazin 100% PCE found at 75µg/ ml. with
carbendazim. Fertilizers like Muriate of potash, Samarth and DAP shown 100% PCE
at 0.1%. In copper. 100% PCE was found at 100µg/ ml with carbendazim.
In vivo study
Benomyl, Ridomil, gave 100 % PCE at 25 µg/ml with carbendazim. While Kocide
shown 100 % PCE at 100 µg/ml with carbendazim. Dunet, Krinet, Monosan, gave
100 % PCE at 25 µg/ml with carbendazim. Herbicides like Atrazin gave 100% PCE at
25 µg/ml with carbendazim. Kleen and Krizin gave 100% PCE at 50 µg/ml with
carbendazim. Antibiotics like Streptomycin and Oflaxacine-400 gave 100% PCE at
0.3 µg/ml with carbendazim. While Griseofulvin and Cefixime gave 100% PCE at 0.4
µg/ml with carbendazim .Salts like calcium chloride, magnesium chloride gave 100 %
PCE at 0.1µg/ml with carbendazim while potassium chloride and Sodium chloride
gave 100 % PCE at 0.3µg/ml and 0.4 µg/ml respectively with carbendazim. Fertilizers
225
like DAP gave 100% PCE at 0.2 % and Muriate of potash gave 100% PCE at 0.3
While Urea and Samarth gave 100 % PCE at 0.4% with carbendazim .Micronutrients
like Copper, Manganese, Zinc, and Cobalt gave 100 % PCE at 0.1µg/ml with

Survival ability of carbendazim resistant Botrytis cinerea in mixed population
The survival ability of resistant BC-8 isolates in the mixed population was
studied by inoculating Rosa floribunda plant leaves with mixture of carbendazim
sensitive BC-9 and resistant BC-8 isolates of Botrytis cinerea. The mycelial
suspensions from the sensitive and resistant isolates of Botrytis cinerea were mixed in
the following proportions.
Sensitive : Resistant
90 : 10
75 : 25
50 : 50
Rosa floribunda plant were subsequently inoculated according to the method
described earlier. Ten days after inoculations infected leaves of Rosa floribunda were
used for preparations of mycelial suspension. The suspensions of each variant was
used to inoculate second batch of rose plant. For next passage, prior to inoculation
5ml of sample was taken from each mycelial suspension and adjusted to the described
concentration of 100 mycelial fragments per ml approximately. One ml of each
suspension was then pipetted and poured onto the surface of 15 ml water agar plates.
These plates were incubated for 4 days till the colonies of Botrytis cinerea become
visible. At least 100 colonies from each variant were transferred to the plates of
Czapek Dox Agar medium containing carbendazim at 500 μg/ml concentration lethal
to sensitive isolate of Botrytis cinerea. The plates were again incubated for 4 days
.The surviving colonies were counted and their composition of each mixture was
examined in this way for four successive passages on Rose plant leaves treated and
233
untreated with carbendazim. In these variants without carbendazim treatment it was
seen that resistant population in the mixture reduces from passage to passage when
the resistant population is increased in the mixture still there is reduction in the
population. But in case of carbendazim treated passage resistant population increased
from passage to passage. This increased is also seen when its proportion is increased
in the mixture with the increased of passage number. Thus carbendazim treatment to
rose plant imposes a selection pressure on the population that only resistant
propagules are able to survive at fourth passage.
It is clear that in population from untreated plant, the reproduction ratio was always
smaller than on the carbendazim treated rose plant. This shows that resistant strain
may slowly disappear from the mixed population in due course if the application of
fungicide is discontinued on the other hand if the rose plant were treated with
carbendazim reproduction ration of the resistant strain was greater than that of the
sensitive strain. In this situation resistant strain finally dominated the sensitive
population in the presence of carbendazim. (Table 83)

Use of Bio pesticides in the management of leaf Blight Rose
Fresh leaves of Melia azedarach L., Clerodendrum inerme (L.) Gaertn, Hyptis
suaveolen (L.)Poit, Swietenia macrophylla King and, Tagetes erecta L, were
collected, washed, dried and pulverised to obtain dry powders. 100 gm of powder was
taken. Extract of each plant was prepared with 95% alcohol by (1:5 w/v) and
condensed to serve as stock extract. The toxicity of stock extract was determined
against sensitive and resistant is isolate of Botrytis cinerea to carbendazim by food
poisoning technique (Mishra and Tiwari, 1992) at four different concentrations. Plates
containing CDA supplemented with different plant extracts at four concentrations
with three replicates were inoculated with fresh 6 days old culture of Botrytis cinerea
8 mm agar disc of fungal culture was prepared with the help of sterile cork borer and
kept upside down on agar plates, these plates were incubated at 28 ± 2ºC. Plates
without plant extract served as control. Linear growth of Botrytis cinerea was
measured at different intervals.
The above procedure was repeated for the water extracts of the same plants
instead of alcoholic extracts. The proportion of water and alcohol was 95:5
respectively
The 25% alcoholic leaf extract of all above plants were very effective and
completely inhibited growth of sensitive and resistant isolates of Botrytis cinerea
.Water extract of above plants showed little inhibition of both the sensitive and
resistant isolate of Botrytis cinerea .But water leaf extracts of Hyptis and Tagetes
completelely inhibit the growth of the pathogen at 50%.
