Abstract excerpt
The emergence and spread of streptomycin-resistant strains of Erwinia amylovora in Michigan has necessitated the evaluation of new compounds effective for fire blight control.

The efficacy of Ks formulated as Kasumin 2L for control of fire blight was evaluated in six experiments conducted...
