Inhibitory activity of chitosan as an organic alternative for the control of Pythium aphanidermatum and Sclerotium rolfsii

Antagonism, bioalternative, biopolymer, phytopathogens, innocuousAbstract
The toxic effects caused by agrochemicals have led to the generation of innocuous alternatives for the control of phytopathogens, such as chitosan, a harmless biopolymer with fungicidal effect. Therefore, it was proposed to extract chitosan from shrimp shell to control Pythium aphanidermatum and Sclerotium rolfsii. It was possible to obtain chitosan with 100% deacetylation and 457,000 g.mol-1 molecular weight, with which we prepared a culture medium supplemented at different concentrations (50, 100, 150 and 200 ppm). Its antagonistic effect against the mentioned phytopathogens was evaluated in vitro. The statistical analysis of the inhibition data showed that the different concentrations of chitosan had an inhibitory effect. The 200 ppm concentration was the one that presented the highest percentage of inhibition (63.82 and 91.67%) against P. aphanidermatum and S. rolfsii, respectively. Therefore, chitosan could be considered as an organic alternative in the management of these phytopathogens.
