Abstract
Biological control of tomato bacterial wilt is based upon inoculation by a Hrp - mutant strain at the time of planting from a seed bed. This immunising inoculation could lead to high levels of protection agains a subsequent inoculation by a pathogenic strain provided that the Hrp - protective mutant strain is able to evenly colonise a majority of xylem vessels. This exclusive colonisation by the Hrp - mutant strain, associated with induced host defence, (tyloses and intense vascular browning) are the most probable mechanisms involved in effective protection. The efficiency of different inoculation techniques is discussed.
