The production of chili is seriously threatened by bacterial wilt incited by Ralstonia solanacearum in Pakistan. As the information about the distribution and prevalence of the disease and the pathogen is scarce, the present study was performed to ascertain the prevalence, occurrence and distribution of R. solanacearum in different regions of chili cultivation. The results showed differences in the incidence and prevalence of bacterial wilt all over the country. Overall, an incidence of 10% and prevalence of 76% of the disease was observed in the country. The highest incidence of bacterial wilt was observed in the province of Sindh whereas it was the lowest in Baluchistan. The prevalence of the disease followed the similar trend in the provinces. As regards agroecological zones, the highest incidence was recorded in Indus delta followed by sandy deserts whereas it was the lowest in western dry mountains. Almost the same tendency was observed regarding prevalence in the eight agroecological zones. In case of districts, the disease incidence was the maximum in Badin while it was the minimum in the district of Loralai. On the other hand, the disease prevalence was the maximum (100%) in the districts of Badin, Mirpurkhas, and Thatta and the minimum (60%) in the districts of Barkhan, Karak, and Loralai. Of the total 114 isolates of R. solanacearum, 81% were confirmed as Biovar 3 whereas the rest 19% isolates were identified as Biovar 4. The findings will help the farmers to design disease management programs accordingly to avert yield losses.
