Biological Control Agents for Fire Blight of Apple Compared Under Conditions Limiting Natural Dispersal
Fire blight, which is a major constraint to pome fruit production in many areas of the world, is most commonly initiated by epiphytic populations of Erwinia amylovora that develop on blossoms (1,26). Under relatively dry climatic conditions, bacteria colonize flower stigmas, and subsequent rain or heavy dew facilitates movement to the floral cup (hypanthium), where infection generally occurs (2...
متن کاملCrab apple blossoms as a model for research on biological control of fire blight.
ABSTRACT Nonseasonal availability of pomaceous flowers could improve laboratory detection and prefield testing of biocontrol agents for fire blight of pear and apple. Crab apple was selected as a model because of its high flower productivity on 1-year-old wood, high susceptibility to fire blight, and availability from nurseries. Cultivars Manchurian and Snowdrift were manipulated to bloom once ...
متن کاملAnalysis of Fire Blight Shoot Infection Epidemics on Apple
Fire blight of apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.) can be found throughout the United States and many other countries and is a serious problem on trees of susceptible apple cultivars (9). Fire blight is caused by the bacterium Erwinia amylovora and occurs also on pear, quince, Rubus spp., and several other rosaceous hosts. The initial inoculum in an established orchard comes from overwintering can...

The behaviour of Pseudomonas fluorescens EPS62e was investigated in apple and pear orchards under Mediterranean climatic conditions. The trials studied the influence of weather conditions, plant host species, presence of indigenous microbial community and spread from treated to nontreated trees on colonization and survival. Population dynamics were assessed by real-time PCR and CFUcounting meth...
متن کاملresults of screening on 89 apple cultivars for fire blight resistance using usda system in karaj conditions
fire blight disease caused by erwinia amylovora is a destructive disease of pome fruits including apple worldwide. use of resistant cultivars is the most efficient method of disease control. in the present research, we investigated genetic resistance of 89 local and imported commercial apple cultivars in natural contaminated conditions to the bacterial disease using beltsville scoring system (u...
