NEW OBSERVATIONS ON A PEACH DECLINE DISEASE IN GREECE AND ITS ETIOLOGY |
| Authors: | D. TSIALIS, I. RUMBOS |
| Abstract:
The possible etiology of a serious peach disorder characterized by premature leafing out, cortex necrosis, discoloration of the cambial zone, stem pitting, dying of small fibrous roots, partial necrosis of the wood of large roots and decline of the tree, was studied. Trials to transmit the disorder mechanically and through soil were negative. A remission of symptoms in some diseased trees resulted from injecting oxytetracycline-HCI, which indicates that mycoplasma-like organisms may be involved. | |
