Determination of current statues of bacterial fire blight [Erwinia amylovora (Burrill) Winslow et al.] disease in apple and pear production areas in Yozgat Province
Abstract
Aims: This study was conducted to determine current statues of bacterial fire blight disease in apple and pear production areas of Yozgat province in 2018.
Methods and Results: The trees in the surveyed apple and pear orchards were evaluated for disease, the disease agent was isolated from the infected plants and identified by morphological, biochemical, physiological and molecular methods. Among 86 bacterial isolates obtained from 45 infected plant samples, 20 isolates were determined as Erwinia amylovora according to result of morphological, biochemical, physiological and molecular tests. The disease prevalence in the surveyed pear orchards was 91%, the incidence rate 20%, and the disease severity 29%, while disease prevalence in the surveyed apple orchards was 70%, the incidence rate 0.87%, and the disease severity 5.93%.
Conclusions: It has been determined that the disease is more common in pear orchards compared to apple orchards in Yozgat province, similarly, the severity of the disease is higher in pear trees than in apple trees.
Significance and Impact of the Study: Overall results obtained reveal the current situation of the bacterial fire blight disease in Yozgat province, the necessity of taking serious measures against the disease in newly established orchards has once again come to the fore with this study due to the serious problems encountered on pear trees.
