Abstract
A wilt disease of Eucalyptus associated with Pseudomonas solanacearum Biovar 1 is described. This disease has resulted in mortality of up to 17% of 6-month-old transplants of E. pellita in plantations on lands recently cleared of rainforest in equatorial Brazil. In plots previously planted with E. deglupta or Gmelina arborea mortality was less than 3%. In 2- to 3-year-old E. urophylla the disease is also associated with secondary decay, termite attack and increased susceptibility to windthrow. There are indications that one provenance of E. deglupta, one of E. pellita and two of E. tereticornis may be tolerant to bacterial wilt.
