Abstract

Five antibiotics were evaluated in vivo against the bacterial wilt of brinjal (Solanum melongena ) caused by Pseudomonas solanacearum biotype-3. Penicillin and agrimycin-100 were consistently superior over other antibiotics against the pathogen when dispensed into the Hoagland's solution before planting. Foliar application of agrimycin-100, chloramphenicol and streptomycin sulphate a day prior to bacterial inoculation were effective at higher concentrations. Penicillin and tetracycline did not inhibit the wilt bacteria at any of the concentration tested. None of the antibiotics could check the disease when sprayed a day after bacterial inoculation.
