“…The detection limit for R. solanacearum with immunofluorescence, for example, is about 10 4 to 10 5 cfu mL À1 in pellet extract (Janse, 1988;Elphinstone et al, 1996;Vreeburg et al, 2016;van Vaerenbergh et al, 2017), while the detection limit of a pathogenicity test of R. solanacearum (referred to as race 3, biovar 2 in articles) in tomato plants is between 2 9 10 2 and 10 5 cfu mL À1 (Janse, 1988;Elphinstone et al, 1996;Li et al, 2014).
