Pseudomonas solanacearum is a bacterial species that is responsible for causing plant disease in a wide range of crops, including tomato, potato, tobacco, peanut, and eggplant. Synonyms for the word include Ralstonia solanacearum, Burkholderia solanacearum, and Pseudomonas solanaceum. The bacterium can be transmitted through contaminated soil, water, or plant material, and once established in a field, it can cause severe economic losses. Symptoms of the disease include wilting, yellowing, and stunted growth of plants, and there are currently no effective chemical controls available to manage infections. Prevention and early detection are the keys to minimizing the impact of Pseudomonas solanacearum on plant production.
