Abstract

Anthracnose is an important disease in red chili caused by Colletotrichum capsici which can reduce productivity by up to 65%. Controlling using indigenous epiphytic yeasts has never been done. The study aimed to determine the ability of indigenous epiphytic yeast isolates to control C. capsici on red chili. The study was carried out at the Phytopathology Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Andalas, from August 2019 - April 2020 in vitro and in vivo. The study used a completely randomized design (CRD) which consisted of 6 treatments with five different isolates (4 isolates from fruit and one from leaves) and a control. Parameters observed were macroscopic and microscopic characteristics of yeasts, C. capsici colony area, disease incubation period, and anthracnose symptoms. The results showed that the five epiphytic yeast isolates could suppress the growth of C. capsici, inhibit colony expansion between 27.09 – 59.11%, extend the incubation period for one day, and inhibit the expansion of anthracnose symptoms between 52.30 – 62.64%. Epiphytic yeast isolate KB1 derived from fruit has the highest inhibition.

Abstract

Fusarium wilt, caused by the fungus Fusarium oxysporum, is a significant disease that severely reduces the productivity of chili plants. This study investigated the potential of Trichoderma asperellum’s liquid culture as a biological control agent to control this disease and induce plant defense enzymes. Our findings demonstrated that applying the liquid culture of T. asperellum can significantly suppress disease development. Several treatments (A, D, E, and G) proved to be the most effective, showing the lowest disease severity and incidence. Furthermore, these treatments successfully increased the activity of key plant defense enzymes: peroxidase in roots (0.8746 U/g) and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) in both roots (0.1886 μmol TCA/g) and stems (0.1653 μmol TCA/g). This increase in enzyme activity suggests that T. asperellum not only directly controls the pathogen but also triggers internal resistance mechanisms within the plant. While the liquid culture did not show a significant effect on plant growth, this may be due to the natural variability of T. asperellum and to additional factors, such as pests and environmental stress, in the field. Liquid culture of T. asperellum shows potential as a bioprotectant by suppressing the pathogen and enhancing host resistance.
