Abstract

Symptomless greenhouse tomato transplants may harbor high populations of Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. michiganensis, the causal agent of bacterial canker, leading to yield loss in the field. The objective of this study was to determine whether resistant cultivars, acibenzolar-S-methyl, avirulent strains of C. michiganensis subsp. michiganensis, or standard bactericides reduce pathogen populations and spread among greenhouse tomato seedlings. All treatments limited pathogen populations compared with the untreated inoculated susceptible cultivar in 1996 and 1998, but not in 1997. In 1996, copper hydroxide alone or mixed with mancozeb or streptomycin limited pathogen populations relative to acibenzolar-S-methyl, acibenzolar-S-methyl mixed with copper hydroxide, and avirulent strains. Copper hydroxide mixed with streptomycin limited pathogen populations compared with copper hydroxide mixed with mancozeb. Adding copper hydroxide to acibenzolar-S-methyl limited pathogen populations compared with acibenzolar-S-methyl alone. In 1998, treatments did not differ significantly from each other in limiting pathogen populations. The treatments limited spread of the bacterium only in 1997. Copper hydroxide mixed with mancozeb limited sprea...Continue Reading
