Bacterial wilt
causedby
Ralstonia solanacearum is oneof the limiting factors in
eggplant endchilli production in
Indonesla.Control
of the disease isdifficult with the
available means.Biological control
based on antegonism wastherefore
chosen as oneof
thecontrol
methods.A
fluorescent pseudomonad (PseudomonasputidarPf-20 strain) isolated from the rhizosphere of Mimosa inuisa proved
successfulin
suppressingR.
solanacearumin vitro, reducing
diseaseintensity in
greenhouse andfield
experiments. However,the
degreeof protection
was low.The
useof
morethan one
speciesof microorganisms to control plant pathogens likely
enhancesthe protection level. An avirulent-bacteriocin producing strain of R.
solanacearum (Rs-1.27) was chosen as a companion of Pf-20to control
the disease. Rs-127inhibited the growth of other R
solanacearnrr isolate,with an inhibition
zoneof
12 mmo and asmuch
as 867oof other
isolates wereinhibited.
Rs-127 did notinhibit
thegrowth of Pf-20 in YPGA and
CPGmedium.Ilowever,
Pf-20inhibited
thegrowth
of Rs-127in King's B
mediumwith
aninhibition
zoneof
15mm, but did not work in YPGA
andCPG
medium.The
greenhouse test showedthat dipping
theroot
system of eggplantand chilli in bacterial suspension of Rs-127 and Pf-20, both solely and in combination,
were able to suppress the disease andprolong
theincubation period. In the control plots, plants
beganwilting
oneweek after transplanting. In the
plotstreated ryith Pf-20 and
Rs-127,the
diseasedplants were first
observedat two
andfive
weeksafter transplanting, with
a diseaseindex of
13 and 16,respectivelg while
in the control plots, the
diseaseindex at that time had already
reached 56.When Pf-20
and Rs-127were
combinednthe
diseasewas first
observedat 5
weeksafter transplanting with
a disease index of 6.INTRODUCTION
Bacterial
wilt
causedby
Ralstonia solanacearumis difiicult to confiol with
the available means, especially the one caused by RaceI in
lowland areas (Hayward, 2005).The great
variability of
the pathogens and the complexity of portal entrance into the hosttissue make the
diseaseand the
pathogensdiffrcult to conhol (Goto, 1994).
Soil solarizationis not
effective and crop rotation isnot
feasible dueto
the high numberof
host plants that can be attacked
by
the pathogen. Resistant plants aredifficult to
obtain and could be brokenby
the pathogen.Until
now thereis
no chemical that is effectiveto
control the pathogen in the field. Biological control was therefore chosen as an altemativecontrol
method.Many
authors report the useof
antagonistic bacteriato
control disease.However, most
of them
useda
single antagonist insteadof multi
antagonists (Smith, 2005). The useof
more than one antagonist to control plant pathogenlikely
gives better protection than single application. We report the useof two
antagonistic bacteria against R. solanacearrm inviho.
MATERHLSAI\D METHODS
Stain
Pf-20of
Pseudomonas putida was isolated from the rhizosphere of Mimosaiwisa rn
1996(Arwiyanto,
1997).The
bacteriawas
restoredfrom stock
kept under mineral oil by streaking on the King's B medium before trse. Ralstonia solanacearum was isolatedfrom
several host plants onYPGA
medium (yeast extract5 g,

R. solanacearum was transferred to YPGA slant medium.Each isolate
of
R. solanacearam was tested against each otherfor
antagonism onCPG
medium(Arwiyanto et
al., 1993).A

solanacearum 'w&s tested onKing's
B medium (Arwiyanto and Nurcahyanti, 2007).Local cultivars
of
eggplant('Mustang')
andchilli ('Lokal')
were used. The seeds were sown in sterile soil and used at 35 days after sowing'Seedling Treatment
The
root
systemsof
the seedlings were dippedin
the water-bacterial suspensionfor 15
minutes.A final
concenfiationof
100ppm of
Tween-2Owas
addedinto
the suspension before treafinents. As a control, root systemsof
the seedlings were dipped for 15 minutesin
sterile distilled waterwith
Tween-20 (100 ppmfinal
concentation).After
dipping, the seedlings were planted in pots filledwith
soil infectedwith

1952) was recorded for each treatment at specific times after the challenge inoculation.RJSULTS A}[D
DISCUSSIONAs much as 161 isolates of R. solanacearum
from
several host plants were tested against each otherfor
their antagonistic activity on CPG medium. Isolate number 127of
R. solanacearurn inhibited the growth 860lo relative to other isolates tested
with
a zoneof inhibition of
L2.6 mmin
average (Table 1). This isolate was therefore chosenfor
fttrther experiments becauseof
its ability to produce inhibition substance more successfully than other isolates.The avirulent fomr of isolate Rs-127 (Rs-127
avir)
was generated spontaneouslyin YPG
broth mediumafter
one weekin still
cultureat room
temperature.The
avirulentform
was obtained by streaking ttre culture on YPGA and incubating for 48 hours at room temperature.The
ability of
Rs-127avir to
produceinhibition
substance againstthe
virulent isolate of R. solanacearam (RsT)
was the same as its parentalwild
type (Table 2). This means that the isolate could be used as a biological control agent.Since the isolate
of
Rs-127avir
was used as a companionof
Pf-20for contolling the virulent form of
R. solanacearum.the
antagonisticactivity of
thesecontrol
agents against each other was tested invitro.
Pf-20 inhibited the growthof
Rs-127avir
invitro with
a resultinginhibition
zoneof
15mm.
The mechanismof inhibition
was bacterio- static. However, Rs-127 avir could not suppress the growth of Pf-20 invino
(Table 3).Rs-127
could
suppress disease development causedby the virulent form of
R. solanaceorwm. Disease development
in
the plot treated with Rs-127 was slower and the422
+
-
disease index
was
constant around 10,from 3
weeks after inoculation onwards. There wereslig[t
differences between plots treated with Rs-127 at a concentrationof
lOecfi:/ml
and at 10"cfir/ml.
On the contrary,in
the unheated plots, disease development was rapidand the
diseaseindex
reached around70 at the end of the
experiment.Pf-20
also srypressedthe
developmerttof
eggplant bacterialwilt
although the degreeof
protection was lower than the one offered by Rs-127 (Fig.l).
The disease development
in
the plot freatedwith
Pf-20 was constantly lowuntil
5 after inoculation. The disease index then moved nrosressivelv un rrn{il fhe end o{-fhe
disease development
in
the plot freatedwitl weels
after inoculation. The disease index then movedweelrs atter inoculatton. f he disease index then moved progressively up
until
the endof
experiments. However, it was
still
lower than in the untreated control plot.When
the
antagonistic bacteria were combined to protect eggplant from bacterialwil!
significant protection was obseryed. Thewilt
symptoms in the treated plot were not observqdwtil2
weeks after inoculation. When the concenftationof
antagonistic bacteria was lOe cfrt/ml,wilting
symptoms went almost undetected until 5 weeks a'fter inoculation.At
the endof
the experiment, the disease index was very low, i.e., at less than 10. On the confrary, disease indexin
the untreated conholplot
was morethan l0
at 3 weeks after inoculation andrapidly
increased to more than 70 at the end of the experiment.A
similarresrlt
was obtained whenthe
bacteria were usedfor contolling chilli
bacterialwilt (Fie.2).
The
niche of
Pf-20is in
the rhizosphere,while
Rs-127 tendsto
invade the hostplants through wounds. Therefore, when they are applied together as
antagonistic bacteria, they donot
residein
the same place, meaning antagonism between them could not occur. This hypothesis,howevel
needs clarification through firrther experiments.CONCLUSIONS
