摘要

CERATOCYSTIS CANKER, caused by the fungal pathogen Ceratocystis fimbriata, is one disease among a complex of fungal canker diseases that infect almond trees. Based on a statewide survey out of the Department of Pathology at University of California, Davis, canker diseases are the primary cause of tree death in almond orchards, and Ceratocystis canker is one of the most prevailing canker diseases found in California. This canker disease is aggressive, but it doesn't have to mean disaster.
