AI critic verdicts

  • agroecologist · plausible

    “Ralstonia solanacearum bacterial wilt is a globally distributed soilborne disease with very broad host range (>200 spp.); potato is a primary host. Quote directly supports the 200-host figure.”

  • plant-pathologist · plausible

    “R. solanacearum is a xylem-invading bacterium causing vascular wilt across solanaceous and many other hosts; >200 host species and 50+ families is well-documented. Affected_part=vascular system correct.”
