Primarily ornamentals and flowers. Only hosts of Dickeye chrysanthemi or Dickeya zeae are listed below. (Ma, et.al. 2007)
ERIWCH
Dickeya chrysanthemi strains have been isolated from a number of different hosts in different countries. The list of all susceptible plants after inoculation by Dickeya chrysanthemi would be far longer than the natural host range, and difficult to establish. There is little if any information on seed as a pathway for this pathogen and therefore should not be regulated.
Eriwina chrysanthemi has been reclassified into Pectobacterium spp. and Dickeya spp.
12 Known Hosts
Brassica oleracea vars.
cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, brussel sprouts
No
ERIWCH-1,ERIWCH-3
Not a host. CABI (ERIWCH-1) indicated that these are hosts for the pathogen, but the pathogen causing disease in Brassica has been reclassified to Pectobacterium spp. (ERIWCH-3). No evidence that seed is a pathway for any host.

Daucus carota
carrot
No

tomato
No
ERIWCH-12,ERIWCH-1,ISF RPLD,ERIWCH-13
Pathway not proven. One reference found indicating seed may be a pathway but all research was done with artificially inoculated seeds or under laboratory conditions. No evidence that seed is a pathway under natural conditions.

rice
No
ERIWCH-1,ERIWCH-5
Reference established Dickeya chrysanthemi as a pathogen of rice. No evidence that seed is a pathway.
Kabir, et. al. 2006 showed that vitavox and disinfestation helped decrease disease from this pathogen, as well as others. However, this seed treatment was not applied to control seed infections by this pathogen, rather protected seeds and seedlings from early infections from soil borne inoculum
