+ S ymptomatic plants should be tested for R. solanacearum. Testing can be done at a diagnostic lab or in the greenhouse with ImmunoStrip tests available from Agdia, Inc. Use pathogen-free cuttings, plugs and bulbs. Tools, equipment, containers and all surfaces should be properly cleaned of any organic debris and thoroughly disinfested with sodium hypochlorite or a less corrosive disinfectant containing quaternary ammonia or peroxide material. Eliminate overhead irrigation (or irrigate when the leaves dry quickly). Scout crops as they are received and once a week in production. Remove and discard plants with symptoms as soon as they are found. Research reported on geranium showed reduced root infections when plants were treated with phosphonates preventatively.
