Efficacy of Chlorine for Decontaminating Water Infested with Resting Spores of Plasmodiophora brassicae

Effect on Colony Growth Inhibition of Soil-Borne Fungal Pathogens by Available Chlorine Content in Sodium Hypochlorite

“…That treated in 125 ml/l of NaOCl for 5–80 s showed significant inhibition rate of 34–49%, compared to control, with no significant difference between 5 and 10 s. Also, that showed significant inhibition rate of 100% over 160 s without colony formation. From these results, the sensitivity of phytopathogens for NaOCl concentration is consistent with the report that they have different inhibition degree depending on contact time in NaOCl ( Copes et al, 2001 ; Datnoff et al, 1987 ; Johnson et al, 1997 ; Santos-Rufo and Rodriguez-jurado, 2016 ; Segall, 1968 ).…”

First Records of the Seagrass Parasite Plasmodiophora diplantherae from the Northcentral Gulf of Mexico

“…However, plasmodiophorids can persist in the environment as resting spores, which were detected in this study within H. wrightii galls. Chlorine has demonstrated success in inactivating plasmodiophorid resting spores (Datnoff et al 1987), and may hold promise for treating infected H. wrightii raised for future restoration activities. …”

Clubroot disease in Latin America: distribution and management strategies

“…Clubroot inoculum can also be moved to new fields in water (Datnoff et al ., ; Yu et al ., ). Treatment of irrigation water with chlorine (200 mg L −1 ) can reduce clubroot incidence, but can also reduce plant height, fresh weight and stand count (Datnoff, ). A study from Colombia reported that irrigation with water that included sediments collected from an open irrigation system resulted in 20–47% clubroot symptoms in susceptible broccoli (Navas et al ., ).…”
