Plant wilt disease caused by the soilborne bacterial pathogen Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum is one of the most devastating plant diseases; however, no effective protection against this disease has been developed. Coumarins are important natural plant-derived compounds with a wide range of bioactivities and extensive applications in medicine and agriculture. In the present study, three hydroxycoumarins (Hycs), umbelliferone (UM), esculetin (ES) and daphnetin (DA) significantly inhibited the growth of R. pseudosolanacearum on solid medium in a concentration-dependent manner, and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MICs) of these compounds was 325 mg·L−1, 125 mg·L−1 and 75 mg·L−1, respectively. The percentage of live cells of R. pseudosolanacearum when supplemented with UM, ES, and DA was 63.61%, 17.81% and 7.23%, respectively, which were significantly lower than the DMSO treatment with 92%. Furthermore, irrigating roots with hydroxycoumarins (Hycs) 24 h before inoculation with R. pseudosolanacearum significantly delayed the occurrence of tobacco bacterial wilt, with the control efficiency of the DA treatment (the most efficient of Hycs treatment) 80.03%, 69.83%, 59.19%, 45.49%, 44.12%, 38.27% at 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16 days after inoculation, respectively. Compared with the DMSO treatment, the pathogen populations of tobacco stems supplemented with 100 mg L−1 DA were the lowest, with population significantly reduced by 22.46%, 27.34%, and 18.06% at 4, 7, and 10 days after inoculation, respectively. Based on this study, these Hycs could be applied as potential protective agents in the management of tobacco bacterial wilt.
