3 ARC Infruitec-Nietvoorbij The Fruit, Vine and Wine Research Institute of the Agricultural Research Council (ARC)

4 University of Stellenbosch

5 Outline Biocontrol of GTDs in vineyards (Pruning wound protection) Biocontrol of GTDs in nurseries

6 Background: Biocontrol Agents Perception: Not as effective as chemicals Unreliable Application problems (paint, backpack sprayer, labour..)

7 Pruning wound protection with Biological Control Agents Typical questions from farmers: Can I use Trichoderma if I spray chemicals? How long does it take to grow / colonise the wound? How deep does it grow? Were does it grow? What happens to the pathogens? How long does the Trichoderma survive within the plant? Re-apply? Can I use Trichoderma on all my cultivars (various pruning practices ) How soon after pruning must Trichoderma be applied? Etc..

8 Commercial Products T. harzianum T. virens T. atroviride (Excalibur Gold) T. fertile (Trichoplus) T. atroviride T. harzianum (Biotricho) T. harzianum (Awegenic Tri-cure) T. harzianum T. atroviride (MT1) T. atroviride (USPP-T1)

9 Biocontrol of GTDs in vineyards Pruning wound protection Bacillus subtilis / Trichoderma spp. Several products registered in SA based on Trichoderma spp. Usually only registered against Eutypa lata

10 Trichoderma mode of action Competitive antagonism Antibiosis Myco-parasitism Induce host natural defence (grapevines?) Efficacy of Trichoderma is strain dependant Photos: C. Kotze

12 Hyphal adhesion Coiling Disintegration of pathogen mycelium Penetration of pathogen mycelium Kotze et al., 2011 Phyt Mediterranea 50: S247-S263

13 Effect of Trichoderma crude extract on trunk pathogens Neofussicoccum parvum Diplodia seriata PDA + Trichoderma crude extract Control (PDA) PDA + Trichoderma crude extract Hyphal inhibition by 10 µl of extract Extract fungitoxic

14 Quantification - LC-MS/MS 6-Pentyl α-pyrone (6PP)

15 Effect of 6PP on mycelial growth Mutawila et al., 2016 Plant Pathology 65:

Pathogen almost gone in Sauvignon blanc. Trichoderma grew in pith in presence of Eutypa. Mutawila et al., 2011 Phytopathologia Mediterranea 50: S46-S60

Seedless Victoria Prime Pinotage S. blanc Colombar Percent (%) Correlation between Trichoderma incidence & pathogen reduction Pathogen Reduction (%) Trichoderma Incidence (%) r = 0.88 P < 0.01 r = 0.62 P < 0.01 r = 0.58 P < 0.01 r = 0.54 P = 0.01 r = 0.62 P < 0.01 r = 0.55 P = 0.01 r = 0.29 P = 0.22 r = 0.70 P < 0.01 r = P = 0.62 r = 0.26 P = 0.26 r = 0.54 P = 0.01 Trichoderma incidence + correlated with pathogen reduction What is the cause of variation in Trichoderma incidence in the compatible cultivars? Could the vine physiological state have an effect? Mutawila et al., 2011 Phytopathologia Mediterranea 50: S

22 OPTIMISATION OF THE TIME OF APPLICATION OF TRICHODERMA BIO- CONTROL AGENTS Cultivars Chenin blanc Early pruning Cabernet Sauvignon Late pruning Treatments USPP-T1 (T. atroviride) Eco 77 (T. harzianum) Water Time of wound treatment after pruning 0 hrs (within 30 min) 6 hrs 24 hrs 48 hrs 96 hrs

23 Effect of application time on Trichoderma incidence in Cab. Sauvignon Longer window of application in July (up to 96h) Lower incidence in August due to faster wound healing 6 hr application has high incidence at both pruning times Mutawila et al., 2016 Australian Journal of Grape and Wine Research 22:

34 Conclusion Know your biocontrol agent Understand the system where you want to apply it Trichoderma as biocontrol agent has a significant role to play in pruning wound protection against GTD s Trichoderma as biocontrol agent could play a significant role in an integrated programme to control GTD s in grapevine nurseries.
