e1“Bacterial wilt (causal agent: Ralstonia solanacearum) and Phomopsis fruit rot (causal agent: Phomopsis vexans) are two major diseases constraining eggplant production in Bangladesh.”
e2“Further disease reduction (10–11 and 0.6–6 percentage points respectively for wilt and rot) occurred when improved seedlings were transplanted into T. harzianum amended fields”

Other claims from this paper (19)
- Observation Both soil and seed were sources of the two eggplant pathogens.
- Observation The two seed treatments had comparable effects.
- Intervention effect Improved nursery management reduced bacterial wilt by 25–40 percentage points.
- Intervention effect Improved nursery management reduced fruit rot by 14–20 percentage points.
- Intervention effect Improved nursery management increased marketable yield by 8–19 t ha−1.
- Intervention effect Improved nursery management increased income by €1800-3700 ha−1.
- Observation Field treatment alone gave a comparable result in Year 1.
- Intervention effect Additional field treatment reduced wilt by 10–11 percentage points.
- Intervention effect Additional field treatment reduced rot by 0.6–6 percentage points.
- Intervention effect Additional field treatment increased marketable yield by 5–7 t ha−1.
- Observation The introduced technology had lower labour and material costs than farmers’ practice.
- Recommendation Farmers are recommended to use improved nursery management.
- Recommendation Additional field treatment depends on farmer capacity to invest.
- Observation T. harzianum persisted in improved fields at season end.
- Observation Improved management reduced populations of both pathogens in fields.
- Observation Seed from improved plots had less of both pathogens than seed from farmers’ practice plots.
- Observation Nursery seedlings in screenhouse experiments were always infected with R. solanacearum.
- Intervention effect Soil T. harzianum application, alone or with hot-water seed treatment, substantially reduced seedling infection.
- Recommendation The authors recommend local availability of the integrated management technology.
