Effects of Inoculum Density, Plant Age and Temperature on the Incidence of Crown Rot of Papper Caused by Phytophthora capsici

전염원(傳染源)의 농도(濃度), 고추의 모령(苗齡) 및 온도(溫度)가 고추역병(疫病) 발생(發生)에 미치는 영향(影響)

Through the laboratory and vinyl house experiments, the effects of inoculum density, plant age and temperature on the incidence of Phytophthora crown rot of pepper (Capsicum annum L.) were investigated. The propagule survival was greater in the natural soil than in autoclaved soil within first 2 weeks when the sporangial suspension of the pathogenic fungus was incorporated into soil, thereafter the survivability reduced rapidly. The propagule was not detectable in 35 days by means of Papavizas selective medium neither in natural nor in autoclaved soil. At least 5 sporangia per gram soil were required to induce crown rot for 30 days old pepper seedlings. Further increase in inoculum concentration above this threshold level resulted in higher disease incidence and shorter incubation period. When the same amount of inoculum was infested, higher disease incidence was observed for younger plants until 3 weeks after inoculation. On the other hand after 4 weeks this tendency was not extended any more. Younger plants were recognized as having shorter incubation period upon infection, however, the days from first symptom appearance to complete death were not significantly different among differently aged seedlings. Exposure of inoculated pepper seedlings to $25^{\circ}C$ resulted in highest infection rates and followed by those to $30^{\circ}C\;and\;20^{\circ}C$ but no disease was found at $15^{\circ}C\;and\;35^{\circ}C$ for 10 days. When the plants previously incubated at different temperature for 10 days were moved to $25^{\circ}C$ room temperature, prior exposure to $20^{\circ}C\;and\;30^{\circ}C$ brought continuous disease development. Even those plants preincubated at $15^{\circ}C$ were diseased up to 50%. But the prior exposure to $35^{\circ}C$ induced no symptom developed, indicating no seedlings infected at all.

고추 역병균(疫病菌) Phytophthorn cepsici의 토양중(土壤中) 밀도(密度)와 고추의 생육기(生育期) 및 온도(溫度)가 역병발생(疫病發生)에 미치는 영향을 구명(究明)하기 위하여 실내실험(室內實驗)과 비닐하우스 재배실험(栽培實驗)을 했던 바 다음 몇가지 결과(結果)를 얻었다. 인위적(人爲的)으로 접종(接種)한 병원균(病原菌)의 초기 생존수(生存數)는 무살균토양에서 월등히 많았으나 13일(日)이 경과된 후에는 급격히 감소되어 35일(日) 후에는 살균 무살균토양 모두 생존균(生存菌)을 검출(檢出)할 수 없었다. 토양 1g당(當) 최소 5개 이상의 유주자낭(遊走子囊)에 해당하는 전염원(傳染源)이 있어야 고추역병(疫病)이 발생(發生)되었으며 그 이상 전염원량(傳染源量)이 증가될수록 발생(發生)이 증가되었고 잠복기(替伏期)도 짧아졌다. 동일(同一)한 양(量)의 병균(病菌)을 접종(接種)했을 때 초기(初期)에는 묘령(苗令)이 어릴수록 발병(發病)이 많았으나 4주후(週後)부터는 묘령(苗令)에 관계없이 비슷하였다. 잠복기(潛伏期)는 묘령(苗令)이 어릴수록 짧았으나 병지속(病持續期間)은 생육기(生育期)에 따른 차이(差異)가 인정되지 않았다. 고추 유묘(幼苗)의 이병율(罹病率)은 $25^{\circ}C$에서 가장 높았고 $30^{\circ}C,\;20^{\circ}C$순(順)이었으며, 전혀 발병이 없었던 $15^{\circ}C$와 $35^{\circ}C$에 처리(處理)했던 식물(植物)을 $25^{\circ}C$ 처리로 옮겼을 때 $15^{\circ}C$ 처리식물은 50%까지 계속 발병을 보인 반면 $35^{\circ}C$는 전혀 발병되지 않았다.
