Abstract
The black pepper vines of both cultivated and vines in the forest areas are
invariably associated with the native isolates of VA mycorrhiza viz., Glomus
fascicuiatum and Acaulospora sp. The native isolates VA mycorrhiza were effective in
combating the Phytophthora foot rot of black pepper alone and its effects is synergestic
when integrated with either Trichoderma viride or potassium phosphonate (Akomin, @
0.3 per cent). The cuttings of black pepper viz., Vokkalu , Mottakare, Thirupukare
showed least incidence of disease when the cuttings were preinoculated with native
isolates of VA mycorrhiza then challenged with Phytophthora capsici. Vokkalu type 1
and 2, Uddakare accession 1 and 2, Thirupukare, Balankotta - II, Neelamundi-ll,
Narayakodi-IV and Kudargutta showed tolerance to P. capsici at lower inoculum
potential i.e., 25 zoospores/vine. The explant initiated the callus in presence of 0.5 mg I
BA in combination with either 1.0 mg I 2,4-D or 2.0 mg I NAA or IBA or lAA
whereas, the callus could be easily maintained in half strength MS medium
supplemented with 1.0 mg I 2,4-D. Callus of cultivars viz.. Vokkalu type-1 and 2 are
having slight tolerance at one per cent toxic metabolites of Phytophthora capsici. The
shoot tip explant of Uddakare and Thirupukare produced multiple shoots in half strength
MS medium with 2.0 mg I BA and 0.01 mg I NAA. NAA (1.0 mg I and IBA (1.0 mg
I -1) were found effective in rooting of the shoot. Micro propagated plantlets of black
pepper were hardened by planting in 1:1 sand and coir pith in humid chamber for 30
days.
