Efficacy of compost activated with three isolates of Sreptomyces spp. in the control of tomato corky root
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Evaluation of Streptomyces spp. for the biological control of corky root of tomato and Verticillium wilt of eggplant
The effects of Streptomyces spp. isolates in the biological control of corky root of tomato and Verticillium wilt of eggplant was determined in in vitro, greenhouse and field trials. Twenty-six Streptomyces spp. isolates were obtained from the rhizospheres of different vegetable crops in southern Italy. In in vitro dual culture tests, mycelial radial growth of Pyrenochaeta lycopersici and Verticillium dahliae was reduced up to 18.6% and 30.1%, respectively. Radial growth of seven other fungal pathogens was variably reduced as well. The isolates StB-3, StB-6, StB-11 and StB-12 showed a good antagonistic effect against both P. lycopersici and V. dahliae, while the rest of isolates eventually showed antagonism against only one pathogen.
In pot-experiments in the greenhouse three of the four above-mentioned Streptomyces spp. isolates significantly reduced corky root up to 64.9% (StB-11), and all four isolates reduced foliar symptoms of Verticillium wilt (AUDPC) up to 48.3%, but none of them reduced the severity of vascular browning. In naturally infested field trials, StB-11 significantly reduced corky root severity in tomato by 48.2%, StB-12 by 35% and StB-6 by 32.6%, but none of the isolates were effective in controlling Verticillium wilt of eggplant. The effectiveness of the streptomycete AtB-42, successfully used in previous researches, was here confirmed as it reduced corky root of tomato in the field by 33.6%. In conclusion, our research demonstrates that under field conditions corky root of tomato, but not Verticillium wilt of eggplant, can be effectively controlled by the Streptomyces spp. isolates used in this study
