Sažetak
Recent, there is increasing demand for autochthonous ecotypes of garlic (Allium sativum L.) in Croatia. Many local ecotypes of garlic are developed due to specific environmental conditions and producer's selection. However, the average yield of garlic is not in the European average range, since the classical vegetative propagation from cloves usually results with virus infections that cause significant yield reduction. Viruses are considered significant garlic’s pathogens. The research was set up to determine infection rate in plant material of different garlic ecotypes grown from cloves in different regions. Plants were collected from commercial fields in Zadar County (coastal part of Croatia) and Vukovar-Srijem County (eastern Croatia) and were tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) on the presence of three viruses: Onion yellow dwarf virus (OYDV), Leek yellow stripe virus (LYSV) and Garlic common latent virus (GCLV). As a potential source of antigen leaf tissue was used and tests were conducted according to manufacturer’s instructions (Bioreba AG, Switzerland). In plants from Zadar County dominant was OYDV, followed by GCLV and LYSV. All tested plants originating from Vukovar-Srijem County were infected with three tested viruses. Out of 316 analyzed plants only 4 (1.3%) showed to be free from viruses included in survey. Plants infected with OYDV showed symptoms of leaf yellowing and reduced growth, while those infected with LYSV expressed yellow stripes. Symptoms were most evident at the beginning of vegetation. Due to high infection rate, deteriorated sanitary status, and increased interest in use and production of local garlic ecotypes, work on sanitary selection will be important part of revitalization program.
