Abstract
Cucurbits, native of India is one of the most ancient vegetable. Cucurbits are grown in
Kerala throughout the year as a pure crop in uplands and lowlands and in green houses during rabi and summer seasons. Cucurbits are highly demanded crops in Kerala with high productivity and amenable to cultivation both in urban and rural regions of Kerala. Recently the wilt disease caused by bacteria poses serious threat to cucurbit cultivation due to its fast spreading nature and difficulty in management. A thorough knowledge on etiology of the disease and pathogen characterization is necessary for formulating efficient management measures. With this in view, the present study was undertaken to identify, characterize and develop suitable management measures against the bacterial pathogen.
