Bacterial black spot of corn-salad (Valerianella locusta) caused by Acidovorax valerianellae appeared in France in the beginning of the 1990s. The disease is now widespread in the main area of corn-salad production and is responsible for high depreciation and significant economic losses every year. A semiselective medium is described for the detection of the bacterium in various environments and to identify primary sources of inoculum. The medium TSAV (tryptic soy broth, 3 g L⁻¹, agar 15 g L⁻¹, 5-fluorouracyl 5 mg L⁻¹, novobiocin 5 mg L⁻¹, propiconazole 5 mg L⁻¹) increased chances of obtaining cultures of A. valerianellae from naturally infested soil and from root-debris. Using TSAV, the pathogen was detected in root-debris up to 39 days after the harvest of a diseased crop. As only a few days usually separates harvest from the next sowing date, soil is likely to be an important source of inoculum for the next crop.
