Abstract

Chili is an important fruit vegetable crop with a good demand in the local and international market. However, its production is being hindered by diseases caused by R. solanacearum and F. oxysporum resulting to wilting of the plant. This research aimed to determine which from of Fluorescent Pseudomonad Pf-122 isolate with organic fertilizer could greatly enhance the resistance of chili to bacterial wilt. The study was laid out in CRD composed of three formulation treatments (pelleted, granulated and powdered organic fertilizer with Fluorescent Pseudomonad Pf-122 isolate) and control (organic fertilizer only) with three replications. During the incubation period, results revealed that the slowest incubation period for the disease manifestation was observed in pelleted and powdered form fertilizer (7 d) followed by granulated (6 d) and lastly by control (5 d). The development of disease in chili treated with powdered formulation showed the slowest rate among other formulations. On the other hand, as compared with the control, the powdered formulation suppressed the development of disease by 42.67% while the granulated and pelleted fertilizer suppressed by 34.67% and 28%, respectively. Thus, application of powdered from Fluorescent Pseudomonand Pf-122 isolate with organic fertilizer could fully enhance the resistance of chili to bacterial wilt.
