“…Overseas, plant pathogenic nematodes have been reported to accentuate the effect of bacterial blast and bacterial spot (Nesmith & Dowler 1975;Feree et al 1978;English et al 1980), and fumigation is recommended. Unpublished observations in New Zealand have not found an association between plant pathogenic nematodes and plant pathogenic bacteria in diseased trees.…”

The major bacterial pathogens of stone fruit in New Zealand are Xanthomonas campestris pv. pruni (Smith 1903) Dye 1978, causing bacterial spot of stone fruit, Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae van Hall 1902, causing bacterial blast of apricot and cherry, and P. syringae pv. persicae (Prunier et al. 1970) Young et al. 1978, causing bacterial decline of nectarine and peach. Management practices can have an important influence on the incidence of these diseases in stone fruit. This review examines treatment in the nursery, susceptibility of cultivars, effect of root health on susceptibility, rootstocks and grafting, pruning, irrigation management, frost control, and spray measures. Where appropriate, recommendations to reduce disease incidence are made.

“…Highbush blueberries in Florida were developed from 5 species including V. corymbosm (12), and current rabbiteye cultivars and selections are genetically based on the Suwannee, Yellow, and Satilla river races of V. ashei. Representatives of these 4x and 6x blueberries were investigated with respect to self-and cross-fruit-…”

‘Redglobe’ peaches (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch) were grown under drip irrigation and no irrigation, with and without fumigation with 1,2–dibromo–3–chloropropane (DBCP). The irrigation treatments were 1) nonirrigated, 2) irrigated until harvest, 3) irrigated from harvest to dormancy, 4) irrigated all season. Fumigation increased trunk cross-sectional area by 18 cm2, and when postharvest water was applied the increase was 25 cm2 at the end of 1978. Irrigation increased marketable yields of fresh peaches from 3.6 to 7.4 MT/ha (62-150 bu/acre) in 1977. In 1978, fumigation did not increase yields unless preharvest water was applied; then, yields were increased from 12.1 to 17.2 MT/ha (232-357 bu/acre). Fumigation apparently increased water use as indicated by the increased rate of controlled water application. Fumigation reduced populations of Macroposthonia xenoplax (Raski) DeGrisse and Loof, from a range of 30-400 to a range of 1-30 nematodes/150 cm3 of soil.

“…Nematode control and elimination of reservoirs of infection are crucial to the effective control of PTSL, however (Scotto La Massese et al 1973). Soil fumigation and nematicide application have been found to be effective against various nematode species in stone fruits Clayton 1969, 1973;Chandler 1969;Foster 1960;Foster et al 1965;Good 1960;Hendrix and Powell 1969;Hung and Jenkins 1969;Boyce 1957, 1958b;Nesmith and Dowler 1975;Shannon and Christ 1954;Wehunt and Good 1975;Zehr et al 1976). The growth and survival of peach trees have been substantially improved by effective nematode control.…”

“…However, Way (1954) reported that fall pruning had no measurable effect on the hardiness of 'Cortland' apple twigs. Pruning time is very critical from the standpoints of tree short life and survival, vigor, trunk cambial browning, hardiness, bacterial canker, and cold injury (Chandler 1974;Chandler and Daniell 1976;Clayton 1968Clayton , 1971Clayton , 1977Nesmith and Dowler 1975;Prince and Horton 1972). Daniell (1973) reported that the time of pruning, however, had little or no effect on longevity and tree growth, when trees were grown on new peach land.…”

“…Pre-and post-plant fumigants play a crucial part in the control of PTSL (Clayton 1968(Clayton , 1975aEnglish and De Vay 1964;Miller and Dowler 1973), by increasing tree survival (Correll et al 1973;Nesmith and Dowler 1975) and alleviating severe tree losses on problem sites (English 1961;Johnson 1965;Nesmith and Dowler 1973). None of the nine soil fumigants, including M B and DD tested by Hayden et al (1968), significantly increased peach tree survival, however.…”
