Title
Sumatra disease in cloves induced by a xylem‐limited bacterium following mechanical inoculation

Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Bacterial inoculation killed over 60% of seedling cloves and young trees within two years.
- Observation Bacteria occurred throughout the vascular systems of dying plants and remained active in some survivors after three years.
- Observation Inoculum-like bacteria were reisolated from dying plants but not water-treated controls.
- Observation All tested clove types were susceptible, including descendants of trees that survived past disease.
- Recommendation The authors suggest vigorous plants and protection from full sunlight to establish bacterial infection after mechanical inoculation.
