Abstract

Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.), a tropical plant used as a vegetable, is detrimentally affected by bacterial wilt (BW). Limited information is available on resistance of roselle to BW. Roselle collections were sourced in the Philippines and assessed for reaction to BW caused by Ralstonia pseudosolanacerum and R. solanacearum in glasshouse and field experiments. No plants exhibited symptoms of wilting in glasshouse and field trials. High incidence and severe wilting were observed only on susceptible check tomato plants. Weather conditions conducive for BW development had no effect on lack of disease incidence. These roselle genotypes could be possibly used as an alternative to vegetable crops in BW-infested fields.
