Bacterial rot
- classification : Bacteria, Proteobacteria, Gammaproteobacteria, Enterobacteriales, Enterobacteriaceae
- synonyme : Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora (Jones 1901) Bergey et al. 1923
- English names : bacterial stem rot and fruit rot
Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum , with rod-shaped and Gram- shaped bacterial cells, is widespread worldwide and attacks a wide range of plants , including various vegetables. Its presence is reported in many tomato production areas spread over all continents. In humid climatic conditions, it can cause damage to the stalk and / or to the fruits , both in the field and under cover, in the ground and above the ground and during the transport of tomatoes and during their storage.
In France , as in many countries, the incidence of this bacterium is quite limited . It rages sporadically, affecting the stems in trained crops under cover and the fruits in non-staked field crops, especially intended for the canning industry.
On the other bacteria long associated with gender Erwinia are reported on tomato, mainly affecting the stems or fruit: E. Aroideae Holland (Town). Dickeya chrysanthemi (Burkholder et al.) Samson et al. ( Pectobacterium chrysanthemi [Burkholder et al.] Brenner et al., E. chrysanthemi Burkholder et al.) And Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. atrosepticum (van Hall) Hauben et al. Comb. Nov. ( E. carotovora subsp. Atroseptica [van Hall] Dye).
