GanoEF biofertiliser - colonization of Hendersonia GanoEF1 in oil palm roots

Nurrashyeda R., . and Idris A. S., . (2013) GanoEF biofertiliser - colonization of Hendersonia GanoEF1 in oil palm roots. [Proceedings Paper]

Basal stem rot BSR caused by Ganoderma fungus can result in substantial yield loss. Fungal endophytes benefit plant by promoting plant growth improving resistance to multiple stresses protection from diseases and insects. Since endophytes colonised the intercellular spaces of plants they are more able to compete in the vascular system inhibiting the growth of Ganoderma from space and nutrients. The objective of this study was therefore to check on the colonisation proliferation and establishment of Hendersonia GanoEF1 in the oil palm roots after the application of GanoEF biofertiliser at the nursery and field trials. The colonisation of Hendersonia GanoEF1 were determined in the root tissues of the oil palms and quantified by direct plating on the potato dextrose agar PDA plate. The percentage colonisation of Hendersonia GanoEF1 in nursery stage was at the range of 74 to 87.5. In addition the percentage of the colonisation in field application 42 to 88 confirms the ability of Hendersonia GanoEF1 as root coloniser. The application of GanoEF biofertilser to the oil palm seedlings showed that Hendersonia GanoEF1 acts as effective host colonisers and could be re-isolated from the roots after the inoculation. The implication of this study represent the use of Hendersonia GanoEF1 as biocontrol agents offers possible advantages as they invade and proliferate in the plants to await the pathogens before they enter.

Abstract

Basal stem rot BSR caused by Ganoderma fungus can result in substantial yield loss. Fungal endophytes benefit plant by promoting plant growth improving resistance to multiple stresses protection from diseases and insects. Since endophytes colonised the intercellular spaces of plants they are more able to compete in the vascular system inhibiting the growth of Ganoderma from space and nutrients. The objective of this study was therefore to check on the colonisation proliferation and establishment of Hendersonia GanoEF1 in the oil palm roots after the application of GanoEF biofertiliser at the nursery and field trials. The colonisation of Hendersonia GanoEF1 were determined in the root tissues of the oil palms and quantified by direct plating on the potato dextrose agar PDA plate. The percentage colonisation of Hendersonia GanoEF1 in nursery stage was at the range of 74 to 87.5. In addition the percentage of the colonisation in field application 42 to 88 confirms the ability of Hendersonia GanoEF1 as root coloniser. The application of GanoEF biofertilser to the oil palm seedlings showed that Hendersonia GanoEF1 acts as effective host colonisers and could be re-isolated from the roots after the inoculation. The implication of this study represent the use of Hendersonia GanoEF1 as biocontrol agents offers possible advantages as they invade and proliferate in the plants to await the pathogens before they enter.
