Farm assessment of bacterial blight disease on anthurium in Jamaica. PROCEEDINGS OF THE INTER AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR TROPICAL HORTICULTURE v. 34 p. 11-17. Commercial anthurium farms extending from the eastern parish of St. Thomas to the western parish of Hanover have been assessed for bacterial blight disease caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. dieffenbachiae. Isolation of the pathogen using two general media, yeast dextrose plus calcium carbonate (YDC) and nutrient agar plus glucose (NAG), has provided initial presumptive identification. The type of infection, either foliar of systemic, was also determined. All sixteen farms investigated showed signs of infection, with indications of systemic infection for the majority. All cultivars or colors cultivated are susceptible to infection but there were collections of cultivars that were free of the disease. Strict sanitation is an effective means of controlling the disease and planting disease free material is paramount to establishing and maintaining a disease free house or farm. (00221/3307.Y68) |
