Summary

This report concerns the closing note for confirmation of eradication of the first finding of Ralstonia solanacearum (race 3) in the Netherlands at a glasshouse company producing Solanum melongena fruits. The finding was triggered following the observation of symptoms on the plants by the grower. Plants were tested at a private laboratory, which informed the NPPO on 18 May 2016. The identity was confirmed on June 27, 2016. The origin of the finding is still unknown. Measures have been taken whereby eradication can be confirmed based on destruction of all Solanum melongena plants and substrates, cleaning and disinfection of the greenhouse and steaming of soil.
