A method for detecting 10 1 ‐10 2 cells of phytopathogenic bacteria ( Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato and Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria ) in either tomato or pepper seed was developed. The method is based on the enrichment of the compatible pathogen inside a detached leaf of its host when placed on a water agar medium. It was found to be superior to the diagnostic growth media method commonly used and to permit the detection of the pathogens in symptomless plants.
