Development and assessment of practice-oriented measure to reduce infection level of fennel seeds with Mycosphaerella anethi
Project
Project code: 22003112
Contract period: 01.06.2012
- 31.05.2015
Budget: 363,450 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
1. Aim of project: Project includes two main goals:Starting from previously developed RT-PCR experimental parameters for a qRT-PCR are to determine and optimise. The existing in vitro fennel plants are to maintain, propagate and transfer into soil for production of fungus-free seeds. Subsequently several aspects of plant cultivation and epidemiology areto analyse aiming at the improvement of commercial fennel production.
2. Working plan: (1) Development of a qRT-PCR method to quantitatively detect M. anethi in seeds and seedlings, (2)Efficiency analysis of various plant protection measure on seeds and young plants, (3) Generation of healthy seeds based on fungus-free in vitro fennel plants, (4) Investigation of the effect of plant cultivation measures on level of seed infestation, (5)Epidemiological analysis of temporal spread of M. anethi in fennel crops using seed material with different level of infestation, determination of the necessary distance between fields in order to minimise or prevent input of conidia form outside, (6)Investigation of a potential soil transmissibility of M. anethi.
