Ramesh Chand Meena*

ABSTRACT

Groundnut crop suffers from bacterial wilt disease caused by Ralstonia solenaciarum. In seedlings of groundnut plant observed primary symptoms such as oozing of basal leaves, apical part of leaves are showing brown colour. The hypocotyl zone was looking in form of rotting in the situation of severe contamination and apical part change into dropping. As compared to moderate infection the severe infections have a large number mortality of contaminated seedlings. Wilting symptoms can be observed on the whole plant in the severe contamination. Occurrence of morphologically wilting symptoms in the early stage indicated to causing agent of Ralstonia solanacearum.
