Science into Practice: Controlling Brassica black rot with biologicals 12 Feb 2010 Results from one of our recent HDC-funded projects (FV 335) have been highlighted in Horticulture Week. Black rot is caused by the bacterium Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris. The Science into Practice article highlights one aspect of the project in which we examined the effects of biologicals and natural products on the transmission of the pathogen from seed to seedling.

Diversity of Xanthomonas from brassicas in Nepal 10 Feb 2010 A new scientific paper on the occurence and diveristy of Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Xcc) in Nepal has been published in Plant Disease. The paper reports the results of race-typing and genetic fingerprinting of Xcc isolates from cabbage and cauliflower crops growing in Nepal. The work was a collaborative effort between Plant Health Solutions, and scientists at Warwick-HRI, Copenhagen University and the Nepal Agricultural Research Council. Full story...

XLII Brazilian Congress of Phytopathology 3-7 August 2009 Steve Roberts presented a keynote lecture on Eradication of seedborne plant pathogens at the XLII Brazilian Congress of Phytopathology. The conference is the the largest and most important plant pathology congress in South America and was attended by over 800 participants. It was held in Rio de Janerio, Brazil and promoted by the Brazilian Society of Phytopathology (SBF). More details can be found at http://www.fito2009.com/indexeng.html.

Disease management in organic brassica transplants 01 Jun 2009 A new project on disease management in organic brassica seed and transplants is being funded by the HDC. The two-year project will aim to evaluate a range of organically acceptable brassica seed and transplant treatments for their efficacy and cost effectiveness in controlling common soil and seed-borne diseases. The treatments tested will include microbial inoculants and suppressive composts that are currently available for use in the EU. It is anticipated that the work will benefit not only organic but also conventional plant raisers and growers by exploring alternative options for disease management that reduce disease levels and improve the quality of brassica transplants. The project number is FV 352 and will be a collaboration between Plant Health Solutions, Warwick-HRI and Garden Organic (HDRA)
