Research conducted on bacterial wilt (caused by R. solanacearum) on A. andraeanum in Mauritius is discussed. Investigations confirmed the presence of race 1, biovar 3 of R. solanacearum, and showed the homogeneous nature of the isolates. NCM-ELISA was a reliable technique for detection of the pathogen, detecting >65% of latent infection in symptomless plants. Regosols and grey hydromorphic soils were suppressive to the soil population of R. solanacearum.
