Controlled evaluation shows varying resistance levels in eggplant varieties against bacterial wilt, suggesting effective chemical options.

One eggplant variety, ‘NEELUM-23’, showed complete resistance to bacterial wilt, with a mortality rate of 0%.
Chemical treatments Kasomin and Z-one achieved up to 75% reduction in mortality compared to the control in the study.
The screening involved twenty brinjal varieties tested over a 70-day period for their response to Ralstonia solanacearum.
Findings highlight the importance of resistant genotypes and effective chemicals in managing bacterial wilt in eggplants.

Mahmood et al. (2025) studied this question.
