N2  - In two naturally infested potato fields, Pseudomonas solanacearum E.F.Sm, race 3 was detected at all soil levels between 15 and 75 cm with the use of indicator plants. In artificially infested soils, recovery of the bacterium, by plating on a selective medium, was greater in soil sampled from the 55&ndash;65 cm layer than from the 10&ndash;15 cm layer. These results suggest that, in certain soils, the bacterium can survive for extended periods of time in the deeper soil layers.
