Biocontrol agent: Ralstonia solanacearum
Status in Hawaii: Use of the bacterium Ralstonia solanacearum against kahili ginger is limited to local application for experimental use. EPA approval may be required before the fungus can be broadcast as a biocide. The fact that the pathogen also affects edible ginger needs to be considered. REFERENCES |
