Strategy 1
Clean Seed
• Formal Seed Systems
• Informal Seed Systems
![Page 5: Successful strategies against bacterial wilt in SSA](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587a7b3d1a28abf0468b5ff1/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Formal Seed Production Systems
• In vitro plantlet multiplication
• Mini-tuber production
– Conventional technique (sterilized substrate)
– Rapid multiplication techniques (cuttings)
– Aeroponic technique (Kenya, Malawi,
Mozambique, Rwanda)
– Sand hydroponic (Tanzania, Mozambique,
Rwanda)

On-Farm Trials in Embu District, Kenya(Linus, M., Muriithi, M. and Irungu)
� Period: 1999 – 2000
� Seed used: Certified Seed Tubers of Asante
� Surprising findings: 3.6 % (1999) and 3.2 %
(2000) of Bacterial Wilt Incidence:
“However, the farmers were advised to choose an area where
potatoes or other related crops like tomatoes had not been
planted for 3 years as precaution against possible source of
BW infection” (Linus et al., 2004)
![Page 25: Successful strategies against bacterial wilt in SSA](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587a7b3d1a28abf0468b5ff1/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Strategy 3
Appropriate Crop Rotation Systems
• Case study of Kabale (Uganda)
• Case Study of kajondi (Burundi)
![Page 27: Successful strategies against bacterial wilt in SSA](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587a7b3d1a28abf0468b5ff1/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Rotation Experiments in Kabale, Uganda (Lemaga, B., Kanzikwera, R., Kakuhenzire, R., Hakiza, J.J. and Maniz, G.)
� Period: 1995B – 1999A
� Site: Kachwekano (2200 masl)
� Variety: Victoria (Asante)
� Experiment 1 (one-season rotation):
maize, wheat, beans, onions, peas, cabbage,
sweetpotato, millet, carrots
� Experiment 2 (two-season rotation):
Beans – wheat/Beans – maize/Wheat –
maize/Beans – beans/Maize – maize/Wheat –
wheat
![Page 28: Successful strategies against bacterial wilt in SSA](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587a7b3d1a28abf0468b5ff1/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Key findings (Lemaga et al., 2001a)
�One-season Rotation:
� Maize and wheat reduced the BWI by around 18%
and significantly increased tuber yields
� Beans alone not advised as it might carry the
bacterium
� Lowest incidences with finger millet and
sweetpotato but with low yields as they are
reported to be heavy feeders (competition – need
to fertilize)
![Page 29: Successful strategies against bacterial wilt in SSA](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587a7b3d1a28abf0468b5ff1/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Two-season rotation:
� All rotations reduced BWI but planting 2
different crops was superior to planting the
same crop in 2 consecutive seasons
� Best rotations:
�Potatoes – beans – maize – potatoes (81 % to
21.9%)
�Potatoes – wheat – maize - potatoes

Soil Fertilizers
Organic Manure
(Mparambo, Burundi)
Inorganic Fertilizers
(Rotanda, Mozambique)
Soil Amendments on BWI (Lemaga et al., 2001b):
� Best results when organic and inorganic fertilizers combined
� Presence of K in any combination of amendments important for both BW reduction
and yield increases
� Sesbania gave best results compared to other green manures

Key Message – Integrated Approach
1) Clean Seed
2) Pathogen Free Soil/Land
3) Appropriate Rotation Systems
4) Negative selection
5) Quality Control (Latent Infection/ELISA-Test)
6) Other Agronomic Practices (soil amendments, Volunteers, altitude of seed centers, etc…)
