Summary

This report concerns the official finding of Ralstonia solanacearum in the Netherlands in ornamental Anthurium plants, in the varieties “Midori”, “Pistache” and “Fire”. Ralstonia solanacearum was confirmed on August 14 2015. Most likely the interception concerns race 1 of R. solanacearum (under investigation). Many plants at various locations within the greenhouse exhibited symptoms. The origin of the finding is unknown. The plants in the greenhouse had been planted 10 years ago and up to now no symptoms have been observed. There is no link with an earlier finding of Ralstonia solanacearum (race 1), found on Curcuma plants for planting in 2014 (see NL pest report August 2014). Completion of a specific surveillance within Curcuma crops will be completed at short notice for confirming absence in the crop.
