Summary: The objectives of this project were: 1a) Evaluate paints of an inducer of systemic acquired resistance as an aid to cutting of fire blight in diseased pear trees 1b) Evaluate an inducer of systemic acquired resistance in combination with antibiotics for protection of pear trees from fire blight 2a) Evaluate the effect of a delayed dormant, copper sanitation treatment on detectability of the fire blight pathogen in samples of flowers collect at various stages of pear bloom 2b) Evaluate new LAMP technologies that will facilitate widespread adoption of molecular scouting within regional fruit production districts.
