H. Yamazaki et al., RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN RESISTANCE TO BACTERIAL WILT AND NUTRIENT-UPTAKEIN TOMATO SEEDLINGS, Soil Science and Plant Nutrition, 42(1), 1996, pp. 203-208
Varietal differences in the resistance to bacterial wilt and nutrient
uptake of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) seedlings were examin
ed in pot experiments, Twenty-three tomato cultivars were classified i
nto three groups based on the degree of resistance to the disease, Dif
ferences in nutrient uptake among cultivars were observed for all the
elements tested, and highly resistant cultivars were characterized by
a high calcium uptake.
