Other claims from this paper (11)
- Observation Tomato plants displayed necrosis of leaves, petioles and stems and necrotic fruit rings or spots in Florida.
- Observation Incidence of symptomatic tomato plants was generally below 3%, though higher in some fields.
- Observation More than 1000 symptomatic tomato plants were removed on one Miami-Dade farm.
