| Popis: | Survival of phytopathogens in irrigation water and irrigated soil is of major concern to the agricultural community. In the present study, an Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora strain was tested for survival capability in three non-sterile and heat-sterilized soil matrices (soil, sand and soil + sand) over 35 d. In all non-sterile soil matrices, Erw. carotovora subsp. carotovora numbers declined below the detection limit over 35 d, the main variance being the decline rate related to nutrients available in the different matrices (soil, soil + sand and sand respectively). In heat-sterilized soil and soil + sand matrices Erw. carotovora subsp. carotovora revealed a regrowth, while in sterile sand matrix its decline was lower over the same time period. In previous published reports, when soil was sterilized by irradiation, such a regrowth was not observed. Application of an initial single load of sodium nitrate solution (70 mg l -1 ) was found to extend bacteria survival rate in non-sterile and sterile soil columns. In sterile soil columns supplemented with sodium nitrate, Erw. carotovora subsp. carotovora did survive well for up to 60 d, with a major regrowth over the first 12 d and decline up to day 60, reaching initial loading numbers. The information on the potential survival of Erw. carotovora subsp. carotovora in soil for up to 35 d and regrowth in sterile soil should be of concern, especially when irrigation is performed with poor quality water. |
