Abstract
Bacterial fruit blotch(BFB)caused by Acidovorax citrulli(Ac)is one of the most devastating diseases for watermelon crop.Grafted watermelon seedlings are easily infected by Ac.It is crucial to know how the pathogen spreads through grafting tools for the production of healthy seedling.We used the bamboo needle infested with study the spreading of BFB through grafting tool.We also tested different disinfectants for disinfecting infested tools during grafting operation.The results showed that bamboo needle infested with high number of Ac could lead to BFB on grafted watermelon seedling.Soa-king infested bamboo needle in 40% formaldehyde at 50X or in 75% alcohol for 15 min before grafting was effective for mi-nimize BFB spreading.
