    Black shank resistance and agronomic performance of flue-cured tobacco lines and hybrids carrying the introgressed Nicotiana rustica region, Wz

    DRAKE-STOWE K.; MOORE J.M.; BRETR P.; FORTNUM B.A.; PETERSON P.; LEWIS R.S.
    Campus Box 7620, Crop Science Department, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC 27695, USA
    Black shank is usually the most important disease affecting tobacco production in the U.S. Genetic variability is needed that can affect resistance to multiple races of the black shank pathogen and that can be combined into cultivars that also...

    Harvester modification to reduce mechanical transmission of R. solanacearum

    FORTNUM B.A.; PETERSON P.D.
    Clemson University, Department of Entomology Soils and Plant Sciences, Pee Dee Research and Education Center, Florence, SC, USA
    Mechanization both in leaf (multipass harvester) and flower (topping) removal has contributed to the spread and severity of bacterial wilt in North and South Carolina. When a mechanical harvester removes an infected leaf the bacterium can contaminate...

    The use of maleic hydrazide to suppress mechanical transmission of Ralstonia solanacearum during leaf removal

    PETERSON P.D.; FORTNUM B.A.; REED T.D.
    Clemson University, Pee Dee Research & Education Center, 2200 Pocket Road, Florence, SC 29506, USA
    Bacterial wilt disease caused by Ralstonia solanacearum is a major limiting factor in the successful production of flue-cured tobacco in the southeast U.S.A. Mechanical transmission of the bacterium during flower and leaf removal plays a significant...
