Effect of Inducers Against Tobamovirus Infection in Tomato and Bell Pepper

K.N. Madhusudhan, M.S. Nalini, H.S. Prakash and H.S. Shetty

Tomato and bell pepper seeds were treated with salicylic acid (50 mM), neem oil (5%) and Pseudomonas fluorescens (slurry). The seedlings were sprayed with salicylic acid (50 mM) and neem oil (5%). The concentration of Tomato mosaic tobamovirus (ToMV) and Tobacco mosaic tobamovirus (TMV) was assessed based on the number of local lesions on Nicotiana glutinosa. The results showed that the seed/seedling treatment with inducers reduced the number of local lesions when compared to untreated ones. Salicylic acid was an effective inducer.
