Abstract
The aim of the study was to determine fire blight disease, caused by Erwinia amylovora, reactions.
Five different loquat cultivars (Akko XIII, Gold Nugget, Sayda, Hafif Cukurgobek and Champagne de Grasse) and 14 Erwinia amylovora strains, isolated from different cities of Turkey, were used in the study.
Shoot and leaves infections were evaluated in 2011 and 2012 on these loquat cultivars.
According to evaluations of two-year-studies, all loquat cultivars were highly susceptible for leaves infections of fire blight disease. Champagne de Grasse, Akko XIII and Hafif Cukurgobek cultivars were found as moderately susceptible whereas, Sayda and Gold Nugget cultivars were little susceptible for shoot infections of fire blight disease.
