Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Overhead irrigation spread the pathogen to 95% of adjacent healthy seedlings.
- Intervention effect With overhead irrigation, 80% of neighbouring seedlings had high disease severity.
- Intervention effect Neighbouring plants under floating subirrigation showed no symptoms.
- Intervention effect Neighbouring plants under floating subirrigation were not colonized by Ac.
- Intervention effect With Kocide, 37% of plants had low disease severity.
- Observation Cotyledons were the most colonized seedling part.
- Observation The pathogen formed abundant aggregates on cotyledon surfaces.
- Observation The pathogen extensively colonized parenchyma intercellular spaces.
- Observation The pathogen moved through hypocotyl vasculature and infected emerging leaves.
- Recommendation The authors recommend subirrigation with a cotyledon-stage bactericidal spray for control.
