Abstract

Apple tree mortality was approximately 1% a year from 1976 to 1979. Vole (Microtus spp.) injury accounted for about half the losses, plant pathogens for about 40%, and insects for less than 2%. Collar rot (Phytophthora spp.) and white root rot (Corticium galactinum) were the most important root rot diseases.
