Neither the scientific name of the bacterium causing tomato stem cancer nor a publication about the common name in connection with Moringa oleifolia is to find.

The mycotoxin fumonisin B1 causes tomato stem cancer disease:

http://www.world-pepper.org/2007/memoria...

The only publication about curing it, I could find, is this one:

Exogenous Applications of Salicylic Acid for Inducing Systemic AcquiredResistance Against Tomato Stem Cancer Disease M.J. Soleimani and M. Esmailzadeh

http://66.102.9.104/search?q=cache:PZeqX...

Malunggay, Moringa oleifera contains antibiotic and antifungal substances:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16406...

http://www.liberherbarum.com/Pn6295.HTM

http://lib.bioinfo.pl/pmid:16406607

So it might be able to kill the fungal producer of fumonisin B1, but unfortunately I didn`t find any publication.

Also the bacterium causing tomato stem cancer should be mortified.

Here a publication about its properties ( phytochemical aspects incl.) in human medicin curing cancer e.o.

Hope it helps a bit!

Answer 3

A bactericide was produced from the extracts of the malunggay seeds; however, if the bacteria causing stem canker is not susceptible to the bactericide from the malunggay seed extract, then it will not prevent its growth.
