Cross-sectional survey assesses bacterial wilt severity in African nightshade, indicating management limitations.

To assess the incidence and severity of bacterial wilt in Solanum scabrum and identify its causing pathogen.
Cross-sectional survey across five production sites in Buea.
Assessment of disease incidence and severity using quadrat sampling.
Pathogen identification through cultural, morphological, and biochemical methods.
Field tests of management strategies including Mancozeb, ginger extract, black pepper extract, and wood ash.
Bacterial wilt showed a 32.48% incidence and a severity rating of 1.68%.
Koke and Bwitingi had the highest disease severity.
R. solanacearum confirmed as the causal agent.
Mancozeb reduced disease incidence by 41.3% and severity by 13.6% compared to other treatments.
Wood ash was the least effective, resulting in high disease incidence of 91.5%.

Arrey et al. (2025) studied this question.
