Abstract
During a 2-4 yr period, fire blight infections were recorded and removed from trees in two Yakima Valley Bartlett pear orchards. Except for the second year of the study, when disease incidence was extremely low, 69.4-96.0% of the fire blight infections originated in secondary blossoms.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
