AGRI-PULSE - Bacterial wilt of tomato and other solanaceous crops can cause substantial economic losses for producers.1 The disease is caused by the Ralstonia solanacearum species complex, which is ranked as one of the most important groups of plant pathogenic bacteria.2 The R. solanacearum complex is widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions, causing serious losses on several crop and ornamental plant species. The incidence and severity of bacterial wilt of tomato has increased in recent years in states such as North Carolina.1,4
