Application of Hot-Water Treatment Method to control Pepper Seed Born Bacterial Disease

Abstract

Seed Bone Bacterial Diseases were caused economic losses worldwide. Bacterial Spot Disease caused by Xanthomonas Campestris Pv. Vesicatoria (XCV) is one of the destructive bacterial pathogen in Pepper cultivation areas. This pathogen was survived on seed and affected plant growth. How-Water Treatment is eco-friendly method to control bacterial pathogen. As a result, this method was used to control seed bone bacterial pathogen as bacterial fruit blotch disease caused by Acidovorax Citrulli on Watermelon. The aim of this study was to evaluate control efficiency of Hot-Water Treatment on diseased seed and set up temperature and treated time.
