Field performance of antagonistic bacteria identified in a novel laboratory assay for biological control of fire blight of pear
2001-09-01
Abstract excerpt
A laboratory assay to identify antagonists of Erwinia amylovora on flowers was tested for its accuracy in predicting the performance of antagonists in controlling fire blight disease of pear trees. Bacterial strains isolated from pear flowers were evaluated in the laboratory for their ability to suppress growth of E. amylovora on flowers on cut branches. The growth of E. amylovora was assessed with a flower-freezi...
