Biological control of Fire Blight in the San Joaquin Valley of California, 2008.

摘要

A uniform Fuji Apple orchard was divided into four replications of 10 treatments in a completely randomized design. Treatments were applied to specific stages of growth including 1% bloom, 10% bloom, 30% bloom, and full bloom. All treatments at all timings were applied in 100 gallons of spray solution per acre with Stihl backpack mist blowers. Trees were inoculated with Erwinia amylovora on 4 Apr. Treatments were rated forfire blight strikes per tree on 29 May, 2008. Data was log transformed for analysis and lsd was used for mean separation. Data was back transformed for reporting purposes. Means followed by the same letter are not significantly different.
