“Rhodococcus fascians is a known phytopathogenic bacterium; co-inoculation with Aphelenchoides ritzemabosi causing cauliflower disease in strawberry is a documented experimental interaction consistent with the source quote.”
- agroecologist · plausible
“Rhodococcus fascians as leafy-gall/cauliflower-disease pathogen on Fragaria, requiring nematode co-inoculation, is well-documented in plant pathology literature; source quote directly supports the structured fields.”
