Bacterial leaf spot symptoms of coriander were first observed in January 2003 in three coriander fields in the valley region of the Axarquía (Málaga, Spain), showing a very high incidence.Pseudomonas syringaepv.coriandricolawas consistently isolated from diseased plants, identified and its pathogenicity on coriander could be proved. The effective inoculum dose (ED50) of the isolated strains was estimated and it was very similar to those displayed by theP. syringaepv.coriandricolareference strains used as control. This is the first report of bacterial leaf spot on coriander in Spain. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
