[F1 Appendix 8 Eggplant and tomato culture

Textual Amendments

F1 Substituted by Commission Directive 2006/63/CE of 14 July 2006 amending Annexes II to VII to Council Directive 98/57/EC on the control of Ralstonia solanacearum (Smith) Yabuuchi et al..

Sow seeds of tomato ( Lycopersicon esculentum ) or eggplant ( Solanum melongena ) in pasteurised seed compost. Transplant seedlings with fully expanded cotyledons (10 to 14 days) into pasteurised potting compost.

Eggplants or tomatoes should be grown in a glasshouse with the following environmental conditions prior to inoculation:

Day length	14 hours or natural day length if greater;
Temperature	day 21 to 24 °C, night14 to 18 °C.
Susceptible variety of tomato	‘ “ Moneymaker ” ’
Susceptible variety of eggplant	‘ “ Black Beauty ” ’
Suppliers	see website http://forum.europa.eu.int/Public/irc/sanco/Home/main
