Eco-friendly Management of Bacterial Wilt in Tomato Using Dried Powder of the Wild Arid-Land Medicinal Shrub .

Bacterial wilt (BW) disease caused by species complex is a devastating plant disease that inflicts heavy losses to the large number of economic host plants it infects. In this study, the potential of dried powder of the arid-land medicinal shrub to control BW of tomato was explored. Both, in vitro and in planta studies were conducted, using different concentrations of dried powder of plant parts, and applied (surface mulched or mixed) to infested soil at 0, 10, and 20 days before transplanting (DBT).
