Tomato black ring virus spreads by sap contact, pollen, and seed, with seed transmission confirmed in many crops. Soil nematodes also vector it, though efficiency is low, and the spread in fields is patchy. Seed transmission is the main route for long-distance dispersal and survival between seasons.
Wide host range; however, many are experimental only.
Main: onion, leek, garlic, chive, celery, sugarbeet, cabbage, cauliflower, turnip, pepper, cucumber, lettuce, ryegrass, alfalfa, parsley, tomato, potato, spinach, cowpea.

Verticillium nigrescens (now often called Gibellulopsis nigrescens) is a mostly saprophytic soil-borne fungus and a weak or opportunistic plant pathogen. It survives in soil and plant debris mainly as chlamydospores and can infect roots when germination is triggered by root exudates. Transmission occurs through soil and possibly contaminated plant material, but there is no confirmed evidence of seed transmission.
Soybean and cotton are main hosts, but even on these hosts it is a weak pathogen.

Verticillium albo-atrum is a soilborne fungal pathogen that causes Verticillium wilt in a wide range of host plants, including vegetables, ornamentals, and woody crops. The fungus invades the plant through the roots, colonizes the vascular system, and disrupts water transport. It survives in soil for many years as microsclerotia, making management difficult. The pathogen is primarily spread through infested soil, plant debris, and infected planting material, but seed transmission has been reported (and unverified) in older reports for some crops.
Main: cauliflower. broccoli, lucerne, tomato, potato; Other: brussel sprouts, cucumber

Pseudomonas cichorii is a Gram-negative bacterium that causes leaf spot, blight, and rot on many crops such as lettuce and celery. It thrives in cool, moist environments and spreads mainly through splashing water, rain, or contaminated tools and hands. It survives on plant surfaces and debris. Transmission is favored by high humidity and overhead irrigation, leading to rapid spread and characteristic brown, water-soaked leaf lesions.
