Abstract

A field survey conducted in the state of Karnataka, India during March-July, 1994 showed that bacterial wilt of eggplant caused by Ralstonia solanacearum is widespread in the state, causing heavy losses. The bacterium was isolated on TZC medium from infected plants, symptomless plants, seeds extracted from fruits of wilted and symptomless plants and in seeds purchased from the market. Stem inoculated plants developed wilt symptoms. Plants raised from naturally infected seeds under greenhouse conditions also showed wilt symptoms. The paper deals with isolation, identification, pathogenicity of the bacterium, seed-borne nature and transmission from seeds to plants under controlled conditions.
