Abstract: Bacterial wilt caused by the infection of Ralstonia solanacearum, is one of the most harmful diseases to tomatoes, one of the most important greenhouse vegetables in China. R. solanacearum can survive and remain active in the deep soil for a long time, and the chemical control of tomato bacterial wilt is consequently limited. In this study, we introduced the characteristics of tomato bacterial wilt disease and the types of R. solanacearum, and systematically reviewed the research progresses of biological control methods from the aspects of botanical insecticides, agricultural antibiotics, biocontrol bacteria. We emphatically introduced the principle and current status of these methods, discussed the limitations and the improvement strategies, and prospected a new environmental protection and efficient biological control system based on micro-ecological regulation would be the development direction of biological control of tomato bacterial wilt.

Key words: Ralstonia solanacearum, biological control, soil-borne disease
