Screening of <i>Amaranthus</i> sp. Varieties for Resistance to Bacterial Wilt Caused by <i>Ralstonia solanacearum</i>

Bacterial wilt, caused by <i>Ralstonia solanacearum</i>, is an emerging constraint in amaranth production in Benin. Host resistance is the most sustainable disease control measure. Ten amaranth varieties including A2002, Bresil (B) -Sel, Madiira 2, AC-NL, GARE ES13-7, Madiira 1, UG-AMES1...

Ten amaranth varieties including A2002, Bresil (B) -Sel, Madiira 2, AC-NL, GARE ES13-7, Madiira 1, UG-AMES13-2, AM-NKGN, IP-5-Sel and a local variety from Benin were screened for resistance to bacterial wilt.
