Summary: The objectives of this project were: 1) In the field, evaluate the timing of Actigard paints to prevent running fire blight cankers and to supress canker re-ignition. 2) In the greenhouse, re-evaluate the concentration of Actigard in paints applied to slow fire blight canker expansion in pear. 3) Evaluate alternative SAR inducers and surfactants
