Incidence of a Bacterial Blight of Lablab niger Caused by Pseudomonas pisi

Abstract

The causal agent of a bacterial blight disease on Lablab niger Medikus L. was identified as Pseudomonas pisi (Sackett) Brood et al. The pathogen induces water- soaked lesions on all the above ground parts of this host, viz.. stem. petioles, loaves and pods. Loss in yield is mainly due to the premature defoliation and fall of pods.
