Pathogenicity of Puccinia kuehnii strains and in vitro antifungal activity of three essential oils against orange rust of sugarcane in Côte d'Ivoire
Abstract
Rationale: Sugarcane plays an important role in Côte d'Ivoire. It is subject to various biotic attacks, notably orange rust caused by Puccinia kuehnii. Existing methods of controlling this fungus have their limitations. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the infectivity of P. kuehnii strains and to test the antifungal activity of three essential oils against these strains in the laboratory. Methods: The pathogenicity of 19 strains was evaluated on Petri dishes using 5-cm leaf pieces from the SP711406 sugarcane variety. Inoculation of healthy leaves was carried out by contact with symptomatic leaves. The antifungal activity of the essential oils of Ocimum gratissimum L., Zingiber officinale, and Cymbopogon citratus, at concentrations of 500, 1000, and 2000 ppm, was tested by spraying the leaves in Petri dishes, which were then inoculated by contact. The parameters evaluated were incubation time, incidence, and disease severity index. Results: The optimal incubation period observed was three days. The highest severity indices ranged from 12.14% to 12.85%, while the highest incidence ranged from 50% to 50.89%. Essential oils exhibited variable inhibitory effects on disease progression at different concentrations. Furthermore, the concentration of 2000 ppm proved to be the most effective with all strains. Conclusion: These essential oils may be an alternative for controlling orange rust in sugar cane in Côte d'Ivoire.
