Control of Pseudomonas solanacearum
Pseudomonas solanacearum (EPPO A2 list) can be, according to South African scientists, adequately controlled by chloropicrin. Tobacco fields infested with P. solanacearum were fumigated with ethylene dibromide:chloropicrin. At moderate infestation levels the compound gave sufficient control, but at high infestation levels the treatment failed to suppress the disease even if it was used in combination with a resistant cultivar.
