Study Name: Resistance to Bacterial Wilt. Experiment Type: Greenhouse GREENHOUSE Study Year: 1985 Year started: 12/31/1985 Year ended: 12/15/1986. Flats of three week old seedlings were not watered for three days and then inoculated by drenching each flat with 5 liters of 6.0 x 105 and 1.2 x 106 suspensions of P. solanacearum. A knife was thrust between the two rows to injure the roots. An adjusted survival percentage (-43.3-98.7) was given to each accession after a 21 day inoculation period.
