Bacterial rot of witloof chicory roots caused by Erwinia chrysanthemi

Abstract: Erwinia chrysanthemi (biovars 5 and 6) was isolated from unusual symptoms on witloof chicory, both in the field and in hydroponic culture, in Brittany in 1989 and 1990. Symptoms included a greyish‐brown soft rot on the lower part of the root and the destruction of the cortical tissues. The cribrovascular and the medullary part of the bottom of the root sometimes became slimy. A few cases of vascular transmission were observed, which resulted in a red coloration of the infected vessels and a soft rot of the lea… Show more

“…In addition to Pseudomonas spp., the causal agents of soft rot in witloof chicory (Cichorium intybus) have been identified as both Pectobacterium and Dickeya spp. (Bouvard 1987;Vantomme et al 1989;Le Guern et al 1992;Samson et al 2005; see Table 3.1).…”

“…The more critical phase for soft rot development is during head forcing, which has become a more significant problem since the introduction of hydroponic systems for this stage of the process, which uses circulating nutrient solutions. In these systems, losses of 50% or more total production regularly occur when susceptible cultivars were used (Vantomme et al 1989;Le Guern et al 1992).…”

“…In Europe bacterial isolates belonging to Erwinia sp. include dangerous phytopathogenic bacteria on witloof chicory crops (Marchal, 1933;Samson et al, 1980;Bouvard, 1987;Jansen and van Kruistum, 1992;Anon, 1989: Vantomme et ai., 1985, 1989Gallois et al, 1992;Le Guern et al, 1992;Di Lenna et al, 1994).…”

“…Witloof chicory is susceptible to phytopathogenic bacterial populations and attacks in three different phases of its production: roots grown in the open field, storage, and forcing of the white head from mature roots under controlled temperature conditions (17 C) and darkness (Le Guern, 1992), Slime rot is frequently seen in hydroponic culture, in 'forcing room' using circulated nutrient solutions and where environmental conditions (extremely humid conditions) are favourable to the explosion of the bacterial diseases. Brown rot has been observed not only during the forcing stage but also in root production in the field (Vantomme et al, 1989).…”
