Article Synopsis
- About 90% of Peru's ginger production occurs in the Junín region, where suitable conditions for growing ginger plants are found.
- In March 2024, a significant portion of ginger plants in Junín showed severe disease symptoms, including yellowing and necrosis, leading to water and nutrient transport issues and potential plant death.
- Culturing diseased tissue revealed Ralstonia solanacearum species complex (RSSC) as the cause, confirmed through PCR methods, and isolates indicated characteristics of biovar 3 and phylotype I, with DNA sequences submitted to GenBank.
