Round Table on Bacterial Wilt (Brown Rot) of Potato

  • Chapter
Bacterial Wilt Disease

Abstract

The primary aim of the roundtable was to identify priority areas for future research, particularly in the European context; to identify deficiencies in knowledge; and to address the goals and strategies for effective cooperative research. The following key questions arise consistently:

  • Are there special features of the epidemiology of the disease in cool climates ?

  • What is the relative importance of tuber-borne, soil-borne, water-borne infection and weed hosts in different regions ?

  • What are the best sampling and detection strategies and where are the deficiencies in current methodology ?

  • How do we monitor and survey the disease ?

  • How do we contain infested areas ?

  • How do we achieve better communication and collaboration; ideally, a network for exchange of knowledge, information and material ?
