Isolation And Identification Xanthomonassp From Vegetable Crop Field

Phytopathogenic bacteria and fungi utilise the vegetables and plant cells as privileged food sources and cause devastation under appropriate environmental conditions. In the present study, investigation deals with the isolation and identification of the phytopathogens from okra field of Mylaudy in Kanyakumari District, Tamil nadu., Different groups of microbes on okra can have diverse effects on human health and economic loss to the farmers. Isolation of the bacteria was performed by leaf imprinting techniques on okra leaf. The pathogenic bacteria namely Xanthomonas species was identified on the basis of morphological, cultural characteristics and biochemical profile
