A suspension of nonpathogenic Xanthomonas campestris (nXc) strain AZ98101 or AZ98106 was sprayed on peach trees in biological control tests against bacterial spot caused by Xanthomonas arboricola pv. pruni. Treatment with each strain reduced the number of leaves with spots. Meta-analysis of the results from seven field trials showed an integrated risk ratio (the ratio of leaf spot incidence on inoculated leaves to incidence on control leaves) of 0.46 by treatment with AZ98101 and 0.54 by AZ98106, indicating that leaf spot incidence was significantly reduced by each strain. Each also significantly reduced the incidence of fruit spot. The risk ratio with AZ98101 was significantly lower than that with AZ98106. The population of AZ98101R-1, a rifampicin-resistant mutant of AZ98101, was 6.3 * 10E3 CFU/g (fresh mass) on leaves and 8.0 * 10E3 CFU/g on fruit at 12 days after inoculation, but was undetectable (<10E2 CFU/g) by 24 days. This is the first report that nXc strains AZ98101 and AZ98106 effectively control bacterial spot on peach.
